Structures Structure Output

Structures and Structure Output

Structures are source models for bridge, culvert, retaining-wall, and related corridor structure intent.

Structure Editor

Use Structures to define source intent such as:

• bridge
• culvert
• retaining wall
• inlet
• outlet or headwall
• custom structure
• station ranges and placement context
• connection points for drainage-ready pipe ports

Generated previews and exchange geometry are outputs.

Drainage-Ready Structures

Drainage-ready Structures use explicit connection points.

Typical roles:

• pipe_in
• pipe_out
• upstream
• downstream
• inlet
• discharge

Native inlet previews show a catch-basin body, grate, ditch intake mouth, and pipe port stubs.

Native pipe culvert previews use a circular pipe body when the culvert source says pipe_culvert or circular. If headwall_type or wingwall_type is set, endpoint headwall and wingwall details are shown in review geometry.

Native outlet/headwall previews show a headwall slab, outfall apron, side guide walls, pipe-in stub, and discharge mouth.

These details help review the drainage chain. They do not replace the Structure source rows or connection point rows.

Structure Output

Structure Output builds source-traceable output packages.

It can prepare:

• structure output summaries
• structure quantity fragments where available
• exchange package payloads
• export-readiness diagnostics

Export Readiness

Check diagnostics before relying on exports.

Errors should block export. Warnings should remain visible in the output package.

Limit

Not every exchange format is complete in 1.0.0.
