Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since I've been back on the site. I was creating my own website for my project so I haven't touched Pro E in a month. I noticed I posted a lot of questions up and ppl have been trying to help me. Thank you. =)
Here is a summary for what I need to do so you can ignore all the other posts.....
I am trying to model a bridge that has sections with hollows and solid sections. The first image is of the hollowed cross-section.

This section is of the solid:

There are several hollow and solid sections in the bridge and they are aligned to look something like this:

I am having problems with the final bridge section because the edges of the hollows and solids do not meet well. It is not easily noticeable, but one of the sections generally is embedded into the other section. I am looking at my original approach and am wondering if there is a better solution to what I would like to do.
Would it be better to create one large section at a time with the hollow cross-section, i.e. my first included image, then cut the solid into pieces (which I'm not sure how to do), then fill in the hollows for the solid regions? Or should I try to create different part files for the different segments and use an assembly to put the parts together? Or is there an even better approach? Any input would be great. Thanx in advance. =D
