Modeling Bridges from Point Clouds

Here's a couple screen shots of a bridge substructure that we modeled.  The modeling is completed from the geo-referenced point cloud, so as you can see the modeled substructure elements are coordinate correct and overlay precisely with the topographic mapping data for the rest of the project.....which by the way was extracted from a lidar point cloud.  This is the same project data shown in Microstation and Civil 3D.
