fIgure 3.16 Using a tooltip to enter the elevation of a vertex

12. Restore the Bridge 1 bookmark.
You are looking at a creek and road crossing and two purple pushpins.

13. Right-click the red highlighted portion of the road at the location of
one of the pushpins and select Split Feature.

◀

If you're having trouble
getting the Split
Feature command to
activate, make sure
you're right-clicking
the red highlighted
portion of the road.

14. Repeat the previous step for the other pushpin. If the red construc-
tion line is not appearing for the second pushpin, click the Settings
and Utilities icon on the main toolbar and then click Regenerate on
the side toolbar. Then restore the Bridge 1 bookmark and try the
Split Feature command again.
The road is now broken into three sections, which are actually thee
separate road objects: the south approach, the bridge, and the north
approach.

15. Click the bridge section, right-click, and select Properties.

16. In the Properties panel, click the ellipsis button next to Manual Style.

17. In the Select Style dialog, pick Street/Interstate in the drop-down list
at the top.

18. Click the Median Bridge style and click OK.

19. In the Properties panel, check the box next to Auto Update.

20. Close the Properties panel. Click somewhere in the model and then
press Esc to clear the selection.
The crossing now looks like a bridge (see Figure 3.17). The transi-
tion from a divided highway to the narrow bridge configuration is
rather abrupt, but that is something that can be addressed later.
