FOLLOWSURFACEINPV - Pressure Pipe Network

[lilbus36steel]

Hello,

This is my first post. I search this forum often to answer questions that come up in my office. I am running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014.

I have created a pressure pipe network for a proposed water main. I have an alignment and a surface. I want the water main (pressure pipe network) to be 5 feet below the gradeline. I typically use the FOLLOWSURFACEINPV command but when I type it in it is telling me Select a valid reference surface to follow. But it won't let me click on the surface to select.

Does anyone know how to "Select a valid refecerence surface to follow" when using the FOLLOWSURFACEINPV command?

Thank you.

Not familiar with the command, but when creating tha pressure network the ribbon offers that input

After finding this post over three times, I figured that I'd try and help.

I have two possible solutions to the "Select a valid reference to follow" message. 

1) Select a pipe in the profile view, right click and select "Edit Pressure Network in Profile..." This will close the command. FOLLOWSURFACEINPV command should now have a valid surface selected.

2) Toolspace Prospector->Pressure Networks->Select network->Pressure Network Properties->Default Object Reference->Surface name. Select the surface to follow.
