Pipe Drop Across Structure
This rule compares all pipes connected to a single structure and ensures that pipes enter and exit the structure at logical locations. For more information, see About the Pipe Drop Across Structure Rule.
- Drop Reference Location
-
Determines the drop location by using the pipe’s invert, crown, or centerline elevation.
- Drop Value
-
Specifies what the drop value is between the lowest incoming pipe and any outgoing pipe connected to the structure.
- Maximum Drop Value
-
Specifies the maximum drop value between the lowest incoming pipe and any outgoing pipe connected to the structure. Note that this parameter provides validation only; it does not alter (move or resize) the part in the drawing in any way. It simply produces a rule violation on the part if the specified value is exceeded.
Maximum Pipe Size Check
This rule checks to see if pipes entering a structure have a diameter or width that exceeds a specified maximum value. For more information, see About the Maximum Pipe Size Check Structure Rule.
- Maximum Pipe Diameter or Width
-
For circular pipes, this parameter measures the pipe diameter. For rectangular pipes, it measures width. If a pipe diameter or width exceeds the maximum value, a warning is issued on the structure. Note that this parameter provides validation only; it does not alter (move or resize) the part in the drawing in any way. It simply produces a rule violation on the part if the specified value is exceeded.
Set Sump Depth
This rule specifies the sump depth, or the vertical distance from the invert of the lowest pipe attached to the structure to the inside bottom of the Structure, see About the Set Sump Depth Structure Rule.
- Sump Depth
-
Determines the sump depth.
- Drop Value
-
Specifies what the drop value is between the lowest incoming pipe and any outgoing pipe connected to the structure.
- Maximum Drop Value
-
Specifies the maximum drop value between the lowest incoming pipe and any outgoing pipe connected to the structure. Note that this parameter provides validation only; it does not alter (move or resize) the part in the drawing in any way. It simply produces a rule violation on the part if the specified value is exceeded.
