Good morning
I have a water and sewer line that run parallel for the most part. The sewer starts at 10+00 runs west and then turns north about 10+80 and parallels the waterline from that point on.
I want to show the sewer in the water profile as beyond and to reference the sheets to see for P&P information. This works fine.
when i go to show the waterline in the sewer profile it does not show up correctly it only shows up in the initial 80 feet of the sewer profile. Is this because the two alignments are not parallel with each other until that 2nd manhole?
Please see attached profile pdf
thanks in advance

Assuming the Waterline is part of a Pipe Network, go to the Profile View Properties>Pipe Networks Tab>and toggle on "Draw" column checkbox for all desired pipe segments to show the remaining Water line beyond 10+80.
Thanks Jay,
I did do that but the waterline still only shows up in the initial leg of the sanitary profile. In fact it does not even start until after that 2nd manhole in the sanitary profile.
I have created multiple profile views of each alignment and even the 2nd alignment, which continues to the north shows nothing of the waterline when check the draw pipes box.

Have you tried:
Check the watermain is at the expected elevations?
Check the watermain pipes are on styles to display correctly in profile?
Check the necessary layers are on and thawed?
Close the drawing and reopen?
Recover the drawing?
Audit the drawing?
Close the program and start it again?
Shut down the machine and reboot?

I think it has something to do with the alignments not being parallel from end to end.
thanks
i will think about this over weekend
Have a great weekend 🙂

Forgot to mention Welcome to the AutoDesk Forums Mark!
I doubt not being completely parallel has as much to do with the issue as the fact the the alignment makes a 90 deg. bend right off the bat and the WM is actually prior to the angle point (10+78.17) which is actually where it seems to bomb.
Assuming everything else is properly set up please try these 2 things.
1. Profile View Properties>Stations Tab>User specified range> set beginning to 11+00. (Any change?)
2. If there's not a null structure at 10+78.17 or slightly greater ~10+79, add one as if it's one continuous pipe there may likely be an issue with the fact that the WM pipe extends left of MH A2 that C3d is unable to draw this properly.
Very hard to explain but similar to trying to use a Station Offset Label on the outside corner within the outside corner of the 90 deg between perpendicular in and out of angle point you'd get ??? for a result.
If you had more of a Street alignment vs.. Sewer alignment that extended left of 10+78.17 left through intersection across water line and used that alignment for the profile view it likely would play much nicer than the way the alignment turns the corner. (I suspect this is the real culprit)
This is how set my street alignments up and always leave enough prior to and after any Pipe network objects I wish to show in profile. This approach also allows for showing the 10+00 to 10+78.17 segment as a "crossing" pipe which is appropriate for the pfl view posted.
Hope that Helps.
Thanks Jay,
I tried both options and neither worked. As it stands I will play with in future in my spare time just to see if I can find a solutiin but it is not critical to the project so I am going to let it lie for now
Thanks for your input and welcome to the forum!!
