Drawing Cable-Stayed Bridges in Revit
Creating a cable-stayed bridge drawing involves designing solid stretching and layout elements.
Start by creating a metric standard model.
In the reference elevation view, create a reference plane based on the top view. Use the shortcut key DI to annotate, locate the center point, and then use the stretching tool to form the bridge pier.
Switch to the elevation view and draw the reference plane. Next, drag the extrusion style to match the corresponding elevation.
Using the same stretching technique, draw the bridge column in the right elevation view. Apply a similar approach to draw the bridge deck. Then, switch back to the reference elevation and adjust the size of the bridge column to its proper position.
Use the layout tool to draw the inclined cables. Set and select the reference plane, switch to the front elevation view, and draw the inclined cables’ path. After confirming, select Edit Contour, then switch to the 3D view to draw the circular contour of the inclined cables.
Return to the front elevation view to copy and edit the path to create the diagonal cables. Select the newly drawn diagonal cables and use the mirror tool along the drawing axis to complete the full set of diagonal cables.
Finally, mirror the bridge piers, deck panels, and columns to the right side, forming the complete cable-stayed bridge. Connect all components to finalize the drawing.
