I'm looking for information and ideas on managing coordinate systems with bridge structures and mapping data. It is convenient to have our bridge structures modeled in a coordinate system relative to the structure and often times we begin preliminary design without real world coordinate data.
when we do get that data, i'm trying to decide how to place our structures on the mapping data at the correct global coordinates.
I don't want to move my structure, since it will break all the dynamic views. I'm thinking it would be advantageous to somehow move the mapping to the structure, however i'm not the best way to go about doing this. Is there a preferred workflow for lining up reference files with different coordinate systems?
