Hi, I am currently building a model of my own design and theres a bridge in my design. I have no idea how to model the bridge as its not a flat one, something looks like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Claude_Monet-Waterlilies.jpg..
Just wondering is there any methods to model tht kind of bridge and cheers!!

use the arc tool to create an arc with the desired roundness. Then use the offset tool to offset the arc. Then use the pencil tool to draw lines that connect the ends of the arc. Once you have the surface filled in, you can use the push-pull tool to create the solid 3D form of the Bridge.
you can use a similar method for the rails of the bridge. consider using groups and/or components for the various pieces of the bridge (i.e. platform, rails, rail supports, etc.) it will make the process much easier.
