Hi

I cant find out how to place pipes direct at the bottom of structure (se picture). I have set sump rules to 0.000, -0,144 (thats the distance from bottom to pipe) and even tryed to delete it... without luck.

Creating new structure?? It was not just like I thought :-).
I want to create 315mm, 425mm and 600 mm cylinder... Is there anyone who can help me??

Those sumps that are shown are to the bottom OUTSIDE of the structure. The pipes are at the bottom inside the structure. The difference is floor thickness. Which you can edit your structures to be 0. Then you will get the graphics you're after.

Thanks for your respond
Is it trough part builder I change that ? I have tried to change "Floor Thickness" (Fth) into 0,000... and it didn´t change anything.

No. You can edit the floor thickness in your parts list. Click edit part size.

I tried to change the floor bottom of a manhole structure to 0" however, my only options were 6, 7, 8.or 10". How can I add 0" ? If I am able to do this, will I still have the 2 foot sump? (2.5'-.5' = 2')
My goal is to not show the 2.5 foot sump at structures. I'm ok with showing the 0.5' floor bottom.
Can the sump be changed from 2' tp 0" within the Parts Builder or do we still have to change each structure's property?

The sump depth would have more to do with your rules then the parts size. Check to be sure your rules are not adding that sump depth.

Thank you so much..You are quick! I just came back to edit my question to say I figured the sump part out. This was something I learned a long time ago but forgot. See post "Pre-set manhole sump" dated 2007-01-26 of this Forum.

However, is there a way to change part sizes from 6" to 0" floor bottom when it is not within the drop down menu?

You would have to go through part builder and add in the 0". I've done it before, some time ago.
