import .stm to civil 3d change sump level of structures.

[siroos.jafary]

Hi all,

I am struggling to import .stm file into a blank civil3d file. it does import whith correct sizes and elevation. the issue is rim level of structures are the same as SSA file but it will make 2 meter sump depth to stuctures, thus structures invert levels are not correct. i just made a sump depth rule for structure and applied to some of them. it will correct it but as i have more than 1000 manholes in network it will be a major job to apply the rule. i know "apply rule" command will help a lot but i would like to know why it is importing whit wrong properties?

Best regards and thank you for your time and help.

check the rules in the parts list.

Set Sump rule to 0 or remove all rules from all relevant parts. Civil 3d may be checking and adjusting based on the rules on import.

Don't know as I don't use SSA, we use Windes.

Hi Mike,
I am doing the same, i removed all rules and just add sump depth = 0.00, but still invert elevation of manholes are 2 meters below pipes invert elevations. i checked storm sewer migration setting as well. it is correct. i locked and unlocked the rules in default rule setting on setting tab, still same results. i think it is somthing related to civil 3d not SSA. .stm file is .stm, no matter from SSA or any other software. what do you thing?

I just found this on help:

"Note
It is important to note that rules are not applied to pipes or structures when importing pipe networks from either LandXML or from the Storm Sewers Extension. For more information about rules, see Part Rules."

So making the sump depth to 0.00 will not effect on imported pipe network, thus I need to apply the rule to network which is not easy job. Is there any way to apply rules to entire network? I know "applyrules" command will apply it to a leg of pipe network but my network contain lots of pipe legs.
