    Default Inside & outside and top & bottom of pipe walls

    The municipality we submit drawings to wants to see storm, sanitary & water represented in different ways in profile views.
    Storm (under 300mm dia.), sanitary (all sizes) and water (all sizes) are to be displayed in profile view as single line (inside dia. at bottom of pipe). While storm (375mm dia. and over) are to be displayed as two lines (inner dia.), with two different lineweights.

    In the pipe style creator there are options for showing Inside Pipe Walls & Outside Pipe Walls but I have not been able to find a switch for controlling the display of Top & Bottom of walls indepentently.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to address this issue.

    There is no built in way to do that with styles. Unfortunately, I think your only options are fairly limited, and all involve manually adding the linework. Have the pipe styles create the linework for the inside of the pipes on a No-plot layer. THen draw your linework using line or polyline commands on the correct, plotting, layers by snapping to the style linework.

    Default Re: Inside & outside and top & bottom of pipe walls

    I've got the same problem that I've been working on for awhile with no success. I need the inside wall, top and bottom, to display differently in profile: top dashed, bottom continuous. Have you made any progress on this issue? Is it possible we could modify the pipe in part builder?
