Use this tab to view or edit properties associated with this pipe.
This tab displays the properties associated with this pipe, along with their current values. Pipe properties define a variety of characteristics of the pipe object, including its basic size and shape, and certain behaviors such as flow direction and conditions under which the pipe part will automatically adjust its size.
Certain properties are specific to a type of pipe. For example, circular shaped pipes use the Inner Pipe Diameter property while rectangular shaped pipes use the Inner Pipe Width and Inner Pipe Height properties.
Some properties are read-only and others are editable. To change an editable property, double-click on the Value field and enter in a new value, or select one from the list.
These properties specify general characteristics of the pipe, such as the flow direction method, flow direction, and the surface and alignment referenced.
Specifies the method that is used to determine the flow for this pipe. Option are bi-directional, start to end, end to start, or according to the current slope of the pipe.
Specifies the current flow direction of the pipe, relative to the start and endpoint of the pipe. When you begin drawing a pipe, the flow direction is based on the direction in which you draw the pipe.
Specifies the surface of the pipe.
Specifies the alignment of the pipe.
These properties specify characteristics such as the names of the start and end structures, bearing, station data, offsets, slope data, elevation data, and more.
Specifies the name of the structure connected to the start of the pipe.
Specifies the name of the structure connected to the end of the pipe.
Specifies pipe’s bearing.
Specifies pipe’s start station.
Specifies pipe’s end station.
Specifies the offset for the start of the pipe.
Specifies the offset for the end of the pipe.
Specifies the slope of the pipe away from the pipe’s start point.
Specifies the slope of the pipe away from the pipe’s end point.
Specifies the pipe’s slope in absolute value.
Specifies the pipe’s starting point elevation according to the pipe’s invert.
Specifies the pipe’s ending point elevation according to the pipe’s invert.
Specifies the pipe’s starting point elevation according to the pipe’s crown.
Specifies the pipe’s ending point elevation according to the pipe’s crown.
Specifies the easting of the pipe’s starting point.
Specifies the northing of the pipe’s starting point.
Specifies the easting of the pipe’s ending point.
Specifies the northing of the pipe’s ending point.
Specifies the pipe’s starting point elevation according to the pipe’s centerline.
Specifies the pipe’s ending point elevation according to the pipe’s centerline.
Specifies the minimum depth of cover along the entire length of pipe, from the top outside of the pipe to the reference surface.
Specifies the maximum depth of cover along the entire length of pipe, from the top outside of the pipe to the reference surface.
Specifies the two-dimensional length of the pipe measured from the center of the connected starting structure to the center of the connected ending structure.
Specifies the three-dimensional length of the pipe measured from the center of the connected starting structure to the center of the connected ending structure.
Specifies the two-dimensional length of the pipe, measured from the inside edge of the connected starting structure to the inside edge of the connected ending structure.
Specifies the three-dimensional length of the pipe, measured from the inside edge of the connected starting structure to the inside edge of the connected ending structure.
This property specifies the pipe behavior that occurs when the pipe is automatically resized.
Specifies if the pipe will hold its invert, crown, or centerline elevation when the pipe is automatically resized due to an edit.
These properties specify a variety of part characteristics, such as part type, part subtype, and the part size name as defined in the part catalog. Some of these properties specify the dimensions that define the part’s basic shape and therefore are read-only.
Specifies pipe’s part type.
Specifies pipe’s subtype.
Specifies pipe’s description.
Specifies the part size name.
Specifies the pipe’s cross sectional shape, such as circular, egg-shaped, elliptical, or rectangular.
Specifies the wall thickness for this pipe, measured from the inside edge of the pipe to the outside edge of the pipe.
Specifies the material defined for this part. This optional property is used mainly for labeling purposes. It allows you to identify the type of material used to construct this part.
Specifies the minimum curve radius for this part.
This optional property specifies a Manning Coefficient value for a given part size.
This optional property specifies a Hazen Williams Coefficient value for a given part size.
This optional property specifies a Darcy Weisbach Factor value for a given part size.
Specifies the inner diameter for this pipe. This property is used for circular shaped pipes only.
Specifies the inner width for this pipe. This property is used for non-circular shaped pipes only, such as rectangular and egg-shaped.
Specifies the inner height for this pipe. This property is used for non-circular shaped pipes only, such as rectangular and egg-shaped.
These properties specify the hydraulic property information related to the pipe. They are responsible for displaying the hydraulic grade line and energy grade line. Hydraulic grade lines and energy grade lines are displayed as a straight line through structures, connected between the HGL Up or EGL Up property from one pipe to the HGL Down or EGL Down property of the next pipe.
Specifies the elevation of the hydraulic grade line for pipe networks flowing in an upstream direction that contain hydraulic property data.
Specifies the elevation of the energy grade line for pipe networks flowing in a downstream direction that contain hydraulic property data.
Specifies the elevation of the energy grade line for pipe networks flowing in an upstream direction that contain hydraulic property data.
Specifies the elevation of the energy grade line for pipe networks flowing in a downstream direction that contain hydraulic property data.
Specifies the flow rate for pipe networks that contain hydraulic property data.
Specifies the junction loss for pipe networks that contain hydraulic property data.
Specifies the return period for pipe networks that contain hydraulic property data.
