As-Built Data

Import As-Built data from a comma-delimited (CSV) file.

This function allows you to import both horizontal and vertical alignment data from a comma-delimited file. It can optionally assign pipe material, class, nominal, internal and outside diameters.

Note the following:

• To start a new pipe chained to the previous pipe, enter identical coordinates in two successive rows.

• Changes in pipe material, class or diameter also start a new pipe.

• By default, this function creates a continuous section spanning all alignment points. To start a new pipe from a different point, leave a blank row.
