== Survey ==
 
 
 
Survey will give you information on where the other character is standing regarding distance, direction and height difference.
 
 
 
To survey for a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]]. The lowest quality of the two items determines how long a bridge is that you can survey.'
 
 
 
The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.

== Building ==
 
 
 
To plan a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]].
 
 
 
The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.
 
 
 
The character with the dioptra will do the actuall bridge planning. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Plan bridge'' from the menu. Standing right in front of the other character will create a 1 tile wide bridge. Standing at an offset will create bridges multiple tiles wide.
 
 
 
The planning process will print messages in the event log
 
 
 
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.

You work out the orientation and width for the bridge.

You check for protruding foliage.
 
You check for nearby cave entrances and any lava.
 
You check for any items in the way.
 
You check that you have permissions to build the bridge.
 
You check for any bridges that may interfere with this bridge.
 
You check there would be no buildings under this bridge.
 
You work out the styles of bridges that would fit.
 
You start working out the bridge components required.
 
Planned bridge area is <x> tiles long and <y> tile wide.

You stop surveying.
 
You pack up the dioptra.
 
 
 
When all requirements are met you are presented with list of possible bridges.
 
 
 
[[Image:Bridge_Choices.png]]
 
 
 
The selection depends on planned width, length, height difference and clearance below the planned bridge.
 
 
 
If you have choosen a flat bridge that is longer than 5 tiles then you have the possibility to change the schematic of your bridge plan.
 
 
 
When you have choosen a type of bridge you can name the planned bridge and select the steepness of the bridge if you've choosen an arched bridge.
 
 
 
[[Image:Bridge_Name_Steepness.png]]
 
 
 
After clicking ''Finalize'' a wooden frame for the bridge is constructed.
 
 
 
For each tile of the bridge a bridge segment has to be completed in multiple stages. Those are 'abutments' for the out segments, 'bracing' and 'floating' for stone bridges and 'crown' for rope and wood bridges.
 
 
 
Until the bridge has been completed no other bridge can be started by the character.
