Autodesk® Bridge Module 2016
Thank you for downloading the Autodesk® Bridge Module 2016

The Autodesk® Bridge Module 2016 enables users to create bridge models based on critical geometry in the Autodesk® AutoCAD® Civil 3D
corridor model and existing ground surface. Users can also create Civil 3D alignments and profiles from key bridge strings such as bottom
of lowest girder or top of barrier. Finally, users can quickly transition bridge parameters created in the Civil 3D version of this Bridge
Modeler into the Autodesk® Revit Structure Bridge Modeling extension (REX) where additional modeling can be accomplished.
This readme contains the latest information regarding the installation and use of this extension. It is strongly recommended that you read
this entire document before you apply this extension to your product. For reference, you should save this document to your hard drive or
print a copy.
Key Features of this Extension
• Supported bridge types include:

• Girder bridges (steel or concrete girders)
• Concrete slab
• Concrete box girder
• Bridge elements include:

• Abutments, piers, and bearings configuration and modeling
• Bridge deck, barriers and roadway
• Bridge parameters based on AutoCAD Civil 3D model including:

• Bridge width and cross slope based on corridor model

installation. Once installed, users can access the Bridge Module commands via the AutoCAD Civil 3D Ribbon Bridge Modeler.
Network Deployment
You can add the Bridge Module to a Network deployment.
1. Create a base deployment of Autodesk® AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2016. This should be an out-of-the-box deployment with as little
customization as possible other than license information.
2. Create a folder under the <Deploymentlocation>\<Deployment name>\Img\x64\Components\<ProductivityToolName>
3. Copy the Civil 3D Productivity Tool to <Deployment location>\<Deployment name>\Img\x64\Components
\<ProductivityToolName\
4. On the workstation where you initially created the Civil 3D deployment, open the Tools folder and double-click the Create and
Modify a Deployment shortcut icon.
5. On the Create Deployment > Configure page under Modification Options, select Create a New Deployment Using an Existing
Deployment as a Template.
6. Specify a new name for the deployment, review and make any other changes, then click Next.
7. On the Create Deployment > License Agreement page, review the agreement and click Next.
8. On the Create Deployment > Product Information page, review the license information and click Next.
9. On the Create Deployment > Configure <Deployment Name> page, click on Include additional software in the product list to open
