To Set Wastewater Industry Model Options

Use the wastewater industry model options to specify how feature rules and functions of features shall be applied.

  1. In the Maintenance workspace, click Setup tab Options panel Industry Model Options.  
  2. In the tree view, click Wastewater.
  3. Make one or more of the following types of settings:
    • Click the General tab to specify general options.
    • Click the Elevation Computation Priority tab to specify which elevation values get calculated automatically.
    • Click the Observation Calculation tab to specify connection point tolerances and an exclusion list of function IDs.
    • Click the Inspection Management tab to specify the default classification model.

    Select options as shown in the following table

    Wastewater Industry Model Options

    Description

    General tab

     

    Tolerances

    Specifies the search distance for the automatic connection of points and covers.

    Validation

    Enables or disables validation.

    Select Manhole/Section to check height consistency. See Section.

    Select Sub Drain Area Model to check the model parameters. See Sub Drain Area.

    Elevation Computation Priority tab

    Specifies the values that are calculated automatically, such as cover height, section fall height. Select the values and use the arrow buttons to change the priority.

    To aid in PIPE_LENGTH and TOTAL_LENGTH calculations, use the Copy Values option to specify if the INPUT_Z and OUTPUT_Z values are automatically copied to START_Z and END_Z values, respectively.

    See also Wastewater Elevation, Slope, and Height.

    Observation Calculation tab

     

    Connection Point Creation Options

    Specify a tolerance value, in meters, so connection points are not created near existing fittings.

    Also, create a list of functions IDs that you want excluded from any searches for existing connection points. IDs should be separated by commas.

    Inspection Management tab

     

    Classification

    Select one of the classification models. When AutoCAD Map 3D toolset cannot find the import data types, the selected classification model is used as default to classify imported data.

    • DWA-M 149-3 — The default standard used for the automated classification of wastewater objects. The successor to the ATV standard.
    • ISYBAU 2006 (XML) — Set for classification based on the ISYBAU XML standard. This standard is newer than the ISYBAU 96 standard.
    • ISYBAU 1996 — Set for classification based on the ISYBAU 1996 standard.
    • ISYBAU 2001 — Set for classification based on the ISYBAU 2001 standard.

    See also Inspection File Formats.

    Inspection Length Check

    Enables or disables section length check, and specifies a tolerance value (%). When importing inspection data, the inspection length is checked against its corresponding section length.

    When the difference is below the tolerance, the inspection length will be adjusted.

    When the difference is above the tolerance, a message is displayed.

    Minimum Section Length To Be Considered

    Specifies a length below which the inspection length will not be applied.
