Conceptual Pipe Runs in Profile (continued)
Column Headings Description
Surface Flow This column contains the surface runoff flow value for the node or pipe segment. For
information about the Runoff option, refer to the section, Runoff, later in this command
description.
Surface On/Off This column contains the runoff file on/off value, with On represented by 1 and Off
represented by 0 (zero). For information about the Runoff option, refer to the section,
Runoff, later in this command description.
Thickness In This column contains the structure wall thickness in value.
Thickness Out This column contains the structure wall thickness out value.
Wet Area This column contains the pipe cross section wetted area value based on the design flow
calculation. This value is determined based on the current pipe configuration and flow
calculation formula. You can make your own pipe cross section wetted area calculations,
if necessary. Place your cursor in the Wet Area column and click Edit to open the
appropriate Pipe Calculator dialog box.
Wet Perim. This column contains the pipe cross section wetted perimeter value based on the design
flow calculation. This value is determined based on the current pipe configuration and
flow calculation formula. You can make your own pipe cross section wetted perimeter
calculations, if necessary. Place your cursor in the Wet Perim column and click Edit to
open the appropriate Pipe Calculator dialog box.
Using Pipe Layer Tools
There are two types of Layer Tools, conceptual pipe run layer tools and finished
draft pipe run layer tools. Layer tools allow a variety of ways for you to
manipulate layers. Layers allow you to control the appearance of particular
drawing elements, in this case, pipes.
Using the Conceptual Pipe Run Layer Tools
You can manipulate layers for conceptual pipe runs using the conceptual pipe
run layer tools. These are single line representations of plan and profile view
pipe runs. They serve as quick sketches of pipe run configurations, which you
can use to check a particular pipe run for proper position and location.
Freezing the Plan Layers
To freeze a selected plan layer
1 From the Pipes menu, choose Conceptual Layers ä Plan Freeze.
2 Do one of the following to select the pipe run that is on the layer you want to
freeze:
n
Select the run with your pointing device.
n
Press ENTER to open the Defined Runs dialog box and select the run, then
click OK.
