:* A name must be provided for both the cross-section and bridge tables.
:* Numerous options are provided for creating/importing/editing/visualising the tables on the right-hand side of the cross-section table (these can be used for both tables). See <u>[[#Arch_Bridge_Table_Options | Arch Bridge Table Options]]</u> for more information.
:* The "General Data" tab contains other possible parameters for arch bridge modelling in TUFLOW (see relevant section of the <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW Manual]</u> / 2022 Release Notes).
:* The "Settings" tab contains general settings
:* Any potential errors with the bridge attributes will be highlighted below the bridge table in red text (e.g. finish chainage is before the start chainage).

===Bridge Curves===
Post-processed arch bridge curves can be imported to view alongside the plotted bridge data, or by themselves, by using "Bridge Curves > Import Bridge Curve From EOF". As the menu name suggests, the processed bridge inputs can be imported into the editor from the Estry Output File (EOF). This requires the pre-processing of the arch bridge data to have been completed by TUFLOW (this is done during the initialisation phase of a TUFLOW run and therefore does not require a TUFLOW simulation to have finished before checking).<Br>
 
'''Note:''' the EOF file is currently the only location that writes out information on bridge opening and blockage information (this information is not written to any other check file). The 1d_ta_tables check file does not report bridge opening area and only reports unobstructed area as it reports only on information from layers using <font color="blue"><tt>Read GIS Table Links </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> <gis file></tt>.<Br>

In all output options, the 1d_nwk attributes of the input layer and selected feature will be overwritten with the data from the bridge editor. The below options refer to the 1d_xs output. Any newly generated 1d_xs feature will be drawn as single line perpendicular to the arch bridge 1d_nwk polyline at the mid-point.<br>
 
The output location of the bridge geometry CSV can be changed on the "Settings" tab. Users can choose between two default locations or specify a custom location:
* <b>Same Location as 1d_nwk</b> - as the name suggests, this will save the CSV into the same folder location as the 1d_nwk layer containing the arch bridge.
* <b>CSV Folder</b> - Saves into a folder called 'CSV' in a location one level above the 1d_nwk layer containing the arch bridge (this folder will be created if it doesn't exist)
* <b>Custom Location</nb> - Saves into a custom location specified by the user. Recommended to use a relative path from 1d_nwk layer location. The user should specify a folder location (.e.g. ..\bg), if the user specifies a file location (..\bg\bridge.csv) the tool will use the parent folder of the file (in this example it will use ..\bg).
 
The location of the output bridge geometry CSV can also be customised for individual bridges by using the 'Inlet_Type' attribute field in the arch bridge feature. This will take precedence over the settings above.
