The File label displays the folder path and filename for the currently loaded
Pipes settings file.
3 In the Pipe Diameter box, set the default size of the pipe to be used when
defining a new pipe run.
To open a list of defined pipe sizes, click Select. When you click this button, the
Pipe Slope Control dialog box is displayed. You can use this dialog box to select
the pipe size from a defined list. For more information, see Using the Pipe
Slope Control Editor.
4 In the Pipe Name box, type the descriptive label for the pipe.
5 In the Formula list, select either Manning, Hazen-Williams, or Darcy-Weisbach.
6 In the Pipe Material box, type the pipe material label.
To open a list of pipe materials, click Select to open either the Mannings n,
Hazen Coefficient, or Darcy Friction Factor dialog box. Use one of these dialog
boxes to select the pipe material from a defined list. For more information on
formula selection and pipe coefficient factors, see Use the Coefficient Editor.
7 In the Invert In depth below Rim box, type the depth of the invert coming into
a structure below its rim.
8 Type this value using the current drawing units. The precision of this field is
based on the precision set for the labeling plan and profile rim elevations.
9 In the Invert Out depth below Rim box, type the depth of the invert going out
of a structure below its rim.
Type this value using the current drawing units.
NOTE
The invert in and out depth values are used to calculate initial inverts for
new pipe runs. Once defined, you can use the data editor or graphic editor
to modify the invert elevations and slopes.
10 Click OK to exit the dialog box.
