RD_PIPEEDITALIGNMENT

 

 

This function can be used to enter a new pipe long section, or to edit an existing pipe long section.

Procedure

Bend point data is entered in the spreadsheet by typing the Name, Chainage, Invert In, Invert Out and a Type indicator (1 for a manhole, 0 for a bend). Invert In and Invert Out allow for drop inverts in pipes, and only apply to manholes. If Invert Out is set to 0, it automatically takes on the Invert In level.

At any manhole, Invert In is always the invert level coming in from (or going out to) the manhole on the left of this one. Invert Out is always the invert level going out to, or coming in from, the manhole on the right of this one.

The vertical alignment is stored in ASCII format in the design file of the active road file.

You can also edit the vertical alignment of the pipe using the Graphical tab. This displays the pipe line as a long section.

Right-click on the Roads Window to display a popup menu.
