Eliptical Arch Pipe

I need to put a 42 x 29 Arch Pipe in my drawing.  I found a 44 x 27 in the elliptical arch catalog.  But I can't get it to let me create one that's 42 x 29.

 

And I'm also having trouble making a label for it.

 

This is one of three culvert pipes in this network.  The other two are round 36" CMP.  The label for those says XX' of 36" POLY-COATED CMP @ x.xx%.  Once I need the label for this third pipe to show as XX' of 42" x 29" ARCH PIPE @ x.xx%.

 

When I tried to make the label style, I saw "Pipe Inner Diameter or Width".  But I didn't see one for height.

 

TIA!

The special size would need to be created in Part Builder. If they're close in size the label "Material" value can set up to state desired sizes as 2" is very tough to see on a dwg. Depends if size is being exported / imported and accuracy is needed.

 

Haven't tested it but there are parameters in Pipe label style composer for "inner pipe Height" and "inner pipe width"

 

How we've handled this is to populate the "Material" value in the Parts list with the size, type & class info.

 

Then apply the "Material" property in the Pipe label style.
