Often Piers in a structure may be detailed identically, or to share some select properties. Copy Pier Properties provides a convenient method for copying all, or selected, properties from one Pier to another pier in the structure.

Copy From

Select the source Pier who's properties you wish to copy

Copy To

Select the target Pier (or All Piers) To which the properties will be copied.

Select Properties to be Copied

Click the check boxes to select which properties are to be copied.

Note that individual properties are disabled when "All" is selected. You must click the "All" check box in order to select individual items again. The types of properties that can be selected are shown below.

Property	Description
All Properties	Copy all pier input properties listed below, including Pier type, from the selected From Pier
Connection Properties	Copy Pier connection geometry and boundary conditions. Note that boundary conditions will not be copied in PGSplice, or if the selected "From" pier's boundary condition is not compatible with the target.
Diaphragm Properties	Copy diaphragm dimensions and loading data
Pier Model Properties	Copy the model type (Idealized or Physical), and all dimensions, column layout, and material properties if source is a Physical pier.

Comparison Report

This report provides an input echo of permanent pier properties. Values on the selected "To" pier (highlighted in yellow) are compared all other piers in the bridge. The "Same as From" column in the report indicates whether a pier's input data is the same as the selected "From" pier.
