Use this dialog box to enter the initial pressure network creation parameters such as a name, optional description, parts list, layers and more.
You can also select a reference surface and/or an alignment to associate with the pressure network, as well as styles for pressure network labels.
- Network Name
-
Specifies the name of the pressure network. Each pressure network must have a unique name.
-
Network Name Template -
Opens the Name Template dialog box, where you can modify the pressure network naming template.
- Network Description
-
Specifies an optional description for the pressure network.
- Pipe Run Name
-
Specifies the name of the pipe run associated with the pressure network. Each pipe run must have a unique name.
-
Pipe Run Name Template
-
Opens the Name Template dialog box, where you can modify the pipe run naming template.
- Parts List
-
Specifies the parts list associated with this pressure network. For more information, see To Work With Pressure Network Parts Lists.
- Pipe Size
-
Specifies the size and material for the pressure network pipes. This list is populated by the associated parts list.
- Layers
-
Opens the Pressure Network Layers dialog box, where you can assign the pressure network components to specific layers in the drawing.
- Reference Surface
-
Specifies the reference surface associated with this pressure network. The surface is used as elevational data for the pressure network.
- Create Surface Profile to Follow
-
When selected, a surface profile will be created from the reference surface. The surface profile is available for selection from the Pipe Run Profile Settings dialog box.
- Cover
-
Specifies that the top of the pressure network is set at a specified depth below the reference surface. If the value is negative, the top of the pressure network is set above the reference surface. This value is measured between the reference surface and the outside top of the pipe or pipe fittings as defined in the Pipe Run Profile Settings dialog box.
- Reference Alignment
-
Specifies the reference alignment associated with this pressure network.Note: This alignment is used for the purposes of labelling the pressure network with chainage and offset information. The reference alignment may be the same alignment you associate with the pressure network for purposes of viewing and editing the pressure network in profile view, but it is not required that it is the same.
