Crossing Pipes to Longitudinal Profile

What

Use this function to analyze the Water and Sewer project for crossing pipes and pipes that is falling short of the minimum spacing (specified by users).

• The function draws all the crossing pipes of the selected trench to the longitudinal profile.

• Annotations for the crossing pipes with the pipe, station, and elevation will be inserted.

The minimum requirement is that the profile (longitudinal profile) is to be drawn before executing the function.

• Draw the longitudinal profile (using the function Longitudinal Profile) of the trench, to which crossing pipes of the other trench are to be drawn.

How

The following method is used: 

Step 1: Start the function. The dialogue WS - Select Traces appears.

Step 2: Select trenches with pipes that cross. Ctrl + Left click two or more trenches.

Step 3: End with OK.

Step 4: Command prompts for:

Select profile frame to draw to:

Step 5: Select the frame of the longitudinal drawing.

Step 6: The crossing pipes will appear in the longitudinal drawing.

The function will draw all the crossing pipes in the longitudinal profile. Annotation for the pipe, station, and elevation will also be drawn. On the same longitudinal profile, collision analysis can be executed for any number of trenches one after the other to obtain all the crossing pipes.
