Illegal 'T-junction'.
Thanks for your reply. So if I change the Arch height to NOT cross the horizontal line under the bridge deck, all should be well. I shall try that.
Kind Regards

Thanks again for your reply.
I have been doing that over the break and have some questions but I shall be replying more fully after I have corrected the Jack Arch Sketch.
Kind Regards

Good morning
We cross posted earlier on. I had already solved the problem with the sketch after 3 hours work but thanks for your reply.
Getting back to your comment above regarding your file and the fitting of the bolts to the panel. I spent quite a few hours studying your method Because of my very limited experience with 3D (Let alone FreeCAD, I was puzzled how you intersected the X axis with the Z axis, central to the panel. I could not see any offset to the X axis, but proably missed it. Could you please advise me?
Kind Regards
Peter

I have tried to use GirderRev_1_SHALM but find the model tree layout very confusing, I cannot see a logical flow but please remember that I am brand new to FreeCAD,
When I try to open a sketch, the multi-Transform fails every time and I am helpless in putting things right.

I have to work within the bed size of my 3D printer. I did not inform you about the maximum dimensions but they are X and Y bed 235 mm square and Z 240 mm. This would mean that I could only have 9 panel segments in length.
I would very much like to continue building models in the style I am currently using. Yes, sometimes the model breaks but I would rather have a chance in understanding why and to put it right. In this way, I shall learn the ropes quite quickly and build on that experience to refine things as I build up my knowledge.
I have used you Rev 0 file over the xmas period. I can follow this better and my question that I put, 'how have you moved the Z axis / y axis crossing point to the centre of the panel?' was related to that file.
