I have an issue with headwalls rotating. When I rotate the headwall structure to 90 degrees from the pipe, the structure rotates back automatically. Is there a way to lock the position of the structure?
See jpeg below.
I have set up a table style to display the type of structure, top of casting, and invert in and out elevations. I have also added a column to display the depth (rim to sump height). When the structure is a headwall, no depth is needed; however, the table displays this data as "???". Is there a way to only show depths greater than zero within the table editor for rim to sump height?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having issues with importing / updating existing storm network.
The problem is when I update the storm network, All the outlets are added as new structures. It does not update the existing headwall / end sections.
I then have to go thru and delete the added (null) outlet structure. Then, reattach the existing outlets to the pipe network to show up in the structure data table correctly.
I am working on modeling a pond riser. I had one model with a series of small round perforations in the riser and I needed to look at a version that used larger, square cut-outs in the riser. So, I performed a "save-as" and adjusted my orifices to match my new model requirements. When I attempted to run the model, I received the following error: "ERROR 537 : Unable to perform multiple storm analysis, no storm was selected.".
I have encountered this one time before and was able to go back to the first model and start over. However, now, even when I run the first model (small round perfs), I receive the same error.
I have a storm event assigned for both models but the program does not seem to recognize this any longer.
We use C3D 2012 (metric only) - We are attempting to customize our list of structures for Sanitary Sewers. The structure list shows sizes we do not use and we would like to modify them. However, when we try to select the "Inner Diameter" it displays a list of sizes that we can not seem to modify or add to.
I have looked at some of the XML files to try and modify or add new sizes (example: AeccStructConcentricCylinder_Metric.xml) , but they do not seem to be recognized even after I restart the program.
Here is what the file looks like:
<ColumnConstList desc="Inner Structure Diameter" dataType="float" unit="mm" name="SID" id="CCL1" visible="1" context="StructInnerDiameter" index="0">
<Item id="i0">1200.0000</Item>
<Item id="i1">1350.0000</Item>
<Item id="i2">1500.0000</Item>
<Item id="i3">1800.0000</Item>
<Item id="i4">2050.0000</Item>
<Item id="i5">2300.0000</Item>
<Item id="i6">2550.0000</Item>
I tried modifying the last line replacing 2550 with 3600.
I also tried adding a line <Item id="i7">3600.0000</Item>
I saved the XML file and restarted the program with nothing changing that I can see.

I'm having a problem when I try to edit a piece of multitext. This does not happen all the time, but more often than not. When I go to edit the text it will rotate so that is parallel to true east. This is annoying as most of the time my drawings are not made with north being north. In this particular drawing north is pointing south east so whenever I edit a piece of text the text edit box will flip upside down and backwards as true east is south west. It always goes back to the way I had it originally before editing, but it's a pain to type stuff that's coming in upside down and diagonally.
I though the MTEXTFIXED option would solve this but I set it to both 0 and 1 (default being 2) and it did not stop the text from rotating when being edited.
What do I do to keep my text the way it's situated when editing?
I have an assembly with a subassembly in it. The subassemblies bom structure is set on Normal so that the subassembly number shows on the main assembly BOM and not the individual parts.
However when I place the parts list on the .idw of the main menu it keeps on selecting the parts structure for the BOM, I need it to select the structured view. How do I get it to select the structured view on the BOM so that the BOM does not show the individual parts of the subassembly?
I have made sure that the parts view on the BOM in the source assembly is disabled.
I need creating a view up a storm pipe. We had the inside of a large diameter pipe scanned. Now I need to be able to create a view looking directly up the pipe. Is there a way to set the view so that the what I am seeing is the view from the center of the downstream end of the pipe looking to the center of the upstream end of the pipe?

I have a storm crossing shown on a road profile, and the ellipse that represents the storm pipe is only showing part of the inner wall (I've attached an image). This pipe is skewed slightly, but the entire pipe crosses the road alignment, and this should not make any difference.
Also, is there any way, yet, (I'm using C3D 2011) to have the label show not only the pipe name, but also the invert where the pipe crosses the road alignment, and remain dynamic,? In other words, without having to edit the label text, and lose the dynamic capability. Land Desktop would do this, but it was not dynamic, of course.

I need to model a diversion manhole in a storm sewer system. The diversion will take X cfs from the system and send it to a water quality treatment facility. After leaving the WQ facility, it will be returned to the storm sewer system at the next manhole downstream.
I tried in Hydraflow but it doesn't look like diversions are possible. Thought about modeling up to the diversion manhole and taking that data into some other program, and then coming back into a second Hydraflow model that handles the downstream bit.
I've attached an image of a storm drain invert label for a storm drain profile. As you can see, the middle manhole has all three inflow pipes labeled. Is there a way to only label the inverts of the two pipes shown in the profile view?

I have recieved a survey and I am now ready to begin my design. BUT, when I try and create a "pipe network", I am unable to connect the plan view with the profile. I have everything on both the plan and profile (water, sanny, gas, cuvlerts, etc etc) which was provided by the surveyor.

As I know we can import and export storm and sewer pipe lines between C3d and SSA. But how about open channels? I am workin on a project which is contain sewer pipes (close sections like circle pipes) and open channels(maybe as corridor in C3d) and some ditches with irregular sectios. it is pretty easy to define assemlies for open channels and ditches in C3d but if we can not pull the in SSA in order to analyze then we need to do the job twise in both software. I've tried to pull my network into SSA. but it just import pipe networks not open channels. is there any way to import them or any other software that can import from C3d and analyse the network?

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn Civil3d 2012 when the Edit in Storm and Sanitary Analysis command is used to send a Civil3d pipe network and Catchment areas to SSA the program appears to open as expected with the "Create New Project" dialogue box displayed.
When the Create New Project prompt is accepted nothing is displayed in the SSA plan view.
But.... If I go to the SSA File pulldown menu the .spf project file is available and when it is selected a dialogue box is displayed indicating that the Background file(the dwg) file cannot be found and do we want to search for it "Yes/No".If No is selected the pipe network is displayed as expected.
If Yes is selected and the dwg file located and selected then the pipe network is displayed as expected but the background file looks like proxy objects.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this block called gate valve. The base point is at the middle of the block. When I use this block as a style and insert it in profile it always places itself down low on the pipe. As you can see the grip is way above the top of the block and I have to move it into place anytime I use one. If I change the pipe inverts the gate valve block style lowers itself once again and I have to move it up into place. I have changed the base of the block but it makes no difference.
This is how the structure look in the object viewer. Notice the one on the right is the block that needs to be raised, however in the viewer it shows placed correctly.

We have a Structure Style that places a hidden block at the invert of the structure which uses an expression to accomplish Placing the invert text below the structure. (please see attached).
This particular expression was written for a 1"=30 Horz. & 1"=5' Vert. scale and we use it to label our structures in the profile view.
It works great for the 1:30 scale scenario but we also produce 1:20 & 1:50 scale plan / pfl sheets.
3 label styles can be used to accomplish this but would like to create one that would work for all three scenarios if this is possible? (Goal is 1 expression & label style as opposed to 3 of each).
I thought I had it solved & have tried various formulas but can't seem to get it to recognize the various distortions in scale. (The constant being the 5' vertical dimension for all 3 options)
