below is a portion of a profile i am working that shows the bottom of the catch basins not at the correct elevation the correct elevation is at the pipe invert the dashed line by checking the structure properties the cb are at the inverts are correct but the actual drawing is not shown correctly. if that make any sense to anyone do you have any ideas how to fix.
think that is the problem it will not let me change the sump deph it is set to 5.44 feet for the structure i have the rules set to 0 but it is following the structure default how to i change that
i think you can always create a new set of rules to apply but it all depends what is allowed in your company or the required minimum design parameter.

as long as it show correctly they don't care. they hire me to usher in the use of civil 3d since i have been using it for about 4 years but that was the 2009 verision now we are using 2012 and i have this problem with the catch basin only everything else works fine. i did edit the basic rule and change the sump depth to 0 but did not change by catch basin invert in the drawing itslef.
I edited all my manhole & basin structures in my pipes catalog to have a zero floor thickness using parts builder. I've given up trying to tell the reviewer that the bottom of the structure includes the floor thickness and is not a sump.

does it show the inverts correctly on the catch basin, mine has the right info but not shown correctly in profile view
The invert elevations come from the connecting pipe propeties. Editing the floor thickness of the structure will not change your inverts. I can not see your pipes in the pdf you posted.

okay i am playing with part building now but here is a new pdf to look at the data for the catch basin is correct but the invert (bottom) of the catch basin is not shown correctly.
this is the structure properties box. it would not let paste the screen shot.
thanks

Are you referring to the sump elevation being "greyed out"? Is this the issue?
no seth, what i have is all the catch basins are the same it labels the sturctures (catch basins) correctly in the structure properties box it gives the correct info. but graphiclly is shown incorrectly (all catch basins are shwon the same depth).
What are you using to represent the structure in profile view in the structure style? Is it just a block?
