Matching Elevations on Connected Pipes

Product Documentation

View Original

When multiple pipes enter and exit a structure, you may need to set pipe in and pipe out elevations to consistent, matching values.

This feature lets you quickly set pipe elevations in cases where multiple pipes connect to a single structure. This provides a method for quickly and accurately matching multiple pipe elevations to the invert, crown, or centerline elevation of a selected pipe.

You can also add a drop value that lets you adjust that elevation value between incoming and outgoing pipes.
