About the Cover Only Pipe Rule

This rule is intended for laying out pipes in a pressure-based pipe network where pipe elevations are determined according to a specified depth below a terrain.

This rule ensures that the minimum cover is met along the length of the pipe, and also validates that both the minimum and maximum cover values are not violated along any length of the pipe.

Parameters

The following parameters govern the behavior of this rule:

Note: For spanning pipe labels Start Cover will display the cover at the beginning of the span of pipes that comprise the spanning pipe label. End Cover will display the cover for the very end of the span. The start and end of the spanning pipe label depends on the order in which pipes where selected when creating the pipe span.
