Pipe Networks

Things to Remember...

Always create Pipe Networks from Upstream to Downstream
This will ensure that you don't run into trouble down the track with Structure Labels etc.

Pipe Network Alignments should run from Downstream to Upstream
Ie. Ensure that CH.0.000 starts at the Downstream end.

Create a Merged Surface
To assist with your Profile Views and Labels, I recommend creating a Merged Surface that includes your Existing and Design Surfaces (Unless your Design Surface covers all of your Pipes & Structures).

Depth to Invert Profile View Label
To add these Labels, Click on any pipe in your Pipe Network Profile View, Using the Ribbon select 'Add Labels' and 'Entire Network Profile'. (Note: The Depth to Invert is calculated from the Reference Surface to the Pipe Invert Level and doesn't include any part of the Structure above the Reference Surface or Sump Depth).

If Chainages (Stations) don't show on Pipe Network Profile View
The default style we use for Chainages is based on 'Horizontal Geometry', however this does not appear to work when used for Profile Views that consist of only 1 length of pipe. 
To correct this situation you will need to do the following...
 - Replace the Current Band Set with 'ONK_Pipes (2 Structures)' via the 'Import Band Sets...' Command. 
 - Ensure that you are referencing the correct 'Data Source'
The Chainages for this Profile View are now based on the Structures in your Pipe Network. You will notice that the Chainages show as question marks '???'. You will need to edit the Structure Properties for all Structures in this Profile View to include the correct Reference Alignment.

Don't forget to Name and Number your Structures
When naming Structures try to use the following rules...
 - For New Structures, typically use Numbers (Ie. SEP 1/3) [Meaning Side Entry Pit Line 1, Pit 3]
 - For Existing Structures, the use of Letters may be suitable to provide a distinction (Ie. EXIST. JB C)
 - Name your Structures from Downstream to Upstream

Check your Structure Label Styles
Most Structure Labels use the 'ONK_Full Description' Label Style, however Field Gully Pits (FGP), Headwalls (HW) and Null Structures have their own Style that you will need to set manually.

Using Full & Basic Structure Label Styles 
For all Drawing Sheets except Drainage Plans, using the 'ONK_Basic Description' Label Style will help to reduce clutter on plans. For Drainage Plans, the default 'ONK_Full Description' Label Style is appropriate as it includes all of the required data.

Don't forget to Add Pipe & Structure Tables
These should be included for all design documentation with Pipe Networks.
(Note: It is possible to select an entire Pipe Network or select only required Pipes & Structures as needed).

Adding Descriptions to Structures

Do Not edit Descriptions for Pipes
The Default Description for Pipes is used for certain Labels & Styles, so please don't edit the Description field...

Structure Levels
For SEP's, JB's etc. 
The Lid Level = Top of Structure = Insertion Rim Elevation (Ie.The Structure should typically match the Final surface and the Invert (WT) level is not relevant, the Lid Level is the critical level).
For FGP's
The Pit Inlet Level = Top of Structure = Insertion Rim Elevation (Ie.The FGP Pit Inlet Level will need to be sufficiently deep enough to allow stormwater to discharge to the pit taking into account the Apron (If used) and minimum Swale grades).
