Minimum Pipe Cover Question

[jbalaneski]

I am using a Pipe Network for all my drainage culverts on a large industrial site.  I have created all my pipes from "Create Pipes from Object", which were all feature lines.  While generating the pipes, I told it to use the object as my pipe invert.

I have set up my pipe rules (i.e. minimum/maximum slope and cover) to what I want.  Also when creating my pipes I assigned my design (top of subgrade) surface to them.  But I noticed that it's calculating my pipe cover from the middle of my pipes.

My pipes all have the right wall thickness, etc...set in the style.  Is there a setting I'm missing telling the pipe to calculate it from the top of hte pipe...instead of the middle of the pipe?

In the create dialog, by default it is set to Center...

Yes I set that to use the object/feature line as the invert of the pipe...but it's still reading the cover from the center of the pipe...

I would not think that PIPE COVER would be anything but based on the top of the pipe.  Perhaps I am wrong but what if you did a quick "repair of your installation" and see if that fixes your problem.

Ironically I already did a repair last week on my install to fix another issue.  I even had our IT department completely reinstall my C3D when that issue wasn't resolved.

Have you tried deleting the rule and adding it again?  Or possibly clicking on the pipe, right-click, and Apply Rules?

I will try that and let you know what I find out....Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
