Add pipe networks to a profile view

00:04

Zoom to the woodside view. Profile view in the drawing,

00:08

this profile view is drawn along the road centerline alignment.

00:12

We can project our structures and pipes on to this view.

00:16

Even though the alignment does not follow the network,

00:19

pipes and structures will be projected to the

00:22

view based on the shortest distance to the alignment

00:26

from prospector, select the storm to network

00:30

on the pipe network. Contextual ribbon tab

00:33

network tools panel

00:35

choose draw parts in profile,

00:38

select any part of the profile view in the drawing.

00:42

The pipes and structures are now added to the view.

00:46

Notice that the pipes and structures on sycamore

00:49

heights cannot be drawn in this view.

00:52

We can alternatively create a new profile view

00:55

that will follow the pipe network exactly.

00:59

To do this, we need to create an alignment along our network

01:03

in prospector under pipe networks, right?

01:06

Click on networks and then select create alignment from network parts

01:13

on the command line. It's asking for the first part,

01:16

select the first structure on the storm two network as shown,

01:22

then pan the drawing to the end of the network

01:25

and select the structure at the junction of woodside view and Mcallister boulevard

01:30

press enter to end the selection

01:33

in the crate alignment dialogue. We will set the sight to none

01:37

and accept the default name.

01:41

Leave the default style

01:43

and set the alignment label set to no labels.

01:48

Ensure that create profile and profile view is selected

01:51

and then click OK.

01:54

In create profile from surface,

01:55

add the finished ground surface to create a new profile,

02:00

change the style of the profile to proposed as shown.

02:06

Then click draw in profile view

02:10

in the crate, profile view dialogue,

02:12

go to the profile display options

02:15

change the label set for the finish ground profile

02:19

to no labels.

02:21

Then go to the pipe pressure network page.

02:25

Here you can see it has automatically selected

02:27

the network parts from our chosen run.

02:30

You can add other parts to be drawn in the view. If you wish

02:34

now go to the data bands page, change the band set to pipe data.

02:39

If it's not already selected

02:41

in this band set, there are two data bands,

02:44

one at the bottom of the view and one at the top

02:47

with the location set to bottom of profile view,

02:51

set the data source to the storm two network.

02:55

Now change the location to top of profile view.

02:58

This band will display structure names

03:02

again, set the data source to storm to as before.

03:07

Finally click create profile view

03:11

in the drawing, pick an insertion point for the view. As shown

03:16

you can see it has drawn the entire network

03:19

and the data bands display information about

03:22

the pipes and structures on the network.

03:26

Using the control key on the keyboard,

03:28

you can select a single structure, name band label

03:32

and drag it closer to the structure if you wish.
