I was under the presumption (and also an engineer that sat in a demonstration on time) that the whole pipe run would adjust if you edit the pipes properties, such as an invert…is this not the case or am I missing something in the help and user guide that I have researched in (also this Forum)?
I’ll try to explain the scenario for you…we have an 72” RCP and a 36” D.I. coming into a special structure, the 72” will be used as a storage pipe, as well as part of the distribution system to the final facility. The 36” invert was moved up towards the crown for 80% capacity of the 72” pipe, the upstream pipes didn’t adjust the slopes accordingly to the rules that I set to a minimum slope of .05% on the 36” pipe. I kept getting negative slope ratings that I had to go back and adjust the inverts one at a time. They are both (pipes & structures) within the same alignment, with station 10+00 at the most downstream structure.
Am I doing something wrong in the layout, pipe network properties, or the pipe properties side of this issue?
I’m very new to Civil 3D, so please explain in some detail for me.
Thank you for the assistance with this matter.
