A Few quick questions about Pipes in Profile Views.

[Anonymous]

I am just taking my last step in C3D. The only thing I have not yet tackled
is pipes.

I have all the settings done and rules set. Even used partbuilder to add all
the custom size of PVC pipes that we need.

Questions:

Where do you control the rim elevations when the structures are being placed
(I assume that when you are referencing a surface you can recess the rim a
bit).

Where do you control the sump depth. I thought this was with a rule but mine
don't seem to reflect the applied rules.

Last where do you set the drop from one pipe to the next. Again I thought
this was a rule but does not seem to be updating.

Thanks.

1- you can put a surface adjustment factor in the structure properties
dialog box
2- you make a sump height rule. it isn't dynamic though. you have to have
had the rule in place before you lay in the structures
3-for this one you want the structure rule called drop across structure or
something like that. you do not want the pipe rule, that one is for pipe to
pipe connections like in a water network.
