Elements 1 - Accessing the element hierarchy

BridgeStation Knowledge Base > BridgeStation Web Edition > Structures
To view a structure's elements, start by opening the structure you are interested in. Click Elements on the Structure menu
 

The element hierarchy will be shown.
 
 
There are four different possible hierarchy levels. The structure's current hierarchy level is displayed in brackets next to the Elements folder label. For example (1C2B (Multi Span/Construction Form))
 
Level Name Description
1A Structure Type A element hierarchy without any sub-divisions. All elements are stored within one elements folder
1B Super/Sub Structure Elements are divided automatically between the superstructure and substructure folders
1C Span/Construction Form Useful for multi span structures, each element must be attributed to a span or other alternative construction form
1B1C Super/Sub Structure and Span/Construction Form A mixture of 1B and 1C. The superstructure folder can be further sub-divided into spans/construction forms
 
There are six sub folders. These folders are described below.
 
Folder Description
