    Default Set slope on pipes

    Summary: Set a constant slope on the pipes between two structures or pipes.

    Description: I wish there was a tool that would set a constant slope on the pipes between two structures (or pipes).

    How Used: The way I see it working:
    1) Run the command.
    2) The command prompts, "Select Upstream Pipe or Structure"
    3) Select it.
    4) Prompt, "Select Downstream Pipe or Structure"
    5) Select it.
    6) Prompt, "Upstream Invert "
    7) Type in the upstream invert or hit enter for the current invert of the pipe.
    Prompt, "Downstream Invert "
    9) Enter the downstream invert or press enter for the current invert or type "G" and input the grade desired.
    10) Prompt, "Structure Drop"
    11) Enter the amount of drop across each structure.
    12) Magic happens and we are all happy.

    Default Re: Set slope on pipes

    I would like this. I could see pipe rules actually changing the slope to a defined list based on pipe properties. We typically design to a 2 ft/sec flow half full using mannings equation. I would just like to assign the correct pipe rule for the network and set a downstream or upstream invert and let it do the work.
