Once the bridge model has bean automatically created in Revit (global), the users can export it to Advance Steel for working on local detailing connections. It is recommended that these connections imported back to Revit to ensure all drawings will be documented/printed from Revit (using Advance Steel Extension > Synchronisation in Revit) Detailing connections must be manually designed and layout for all connections on bridge. The case two connections having the same category (i.e. the same geometric conditions but different dimensions) the users can apply "Copy a Connection" in Advance Steel for the two connections. Design detailing connections using Advance Steel is easy, and automatically.
