Pipe network structure grid stretching up way direction only

Hi,

I have created one new structure in pipe network catalog. When I create the pipe network profile with my new structure, I am unable to modify. If I click on the grid Top / Bottom of structure it will stretch to up way direction only, I cannot stretch to down way direction.

After few stretching on top side grid, the whole structure will move to up way direction; I cannot move structure to down. Kindly give a help!!

Thank you

Is this a custom structure?

Yes, Do I need to adjust any values or calculations in part builder ?

Check your range values for SRS.  Perhaps you have met your max.

Ouch.  You have a grip at the bottom of your structure.  The top tier and bottom tier are not constrained properly from first looks.  I've only looked at the first structure mind you.  I will take a closer look after my drive home (east coaster) and try to help you sort this out.

Thank you, your help much be appreciated.

 

I'm not familiar in Civil 3D part builder, save as the drawing from existing pipe metric catalog and tried to modify. 

Need to create catalog as per the municipality standars.

 

Type D 01 save as from Eccentric Cylindrical 2-Tier Circular Frame SI

Type D 02 save as from Rectangular Structure 2-Tier Circular Frame SI

When you test the original eccentric cylindrical 2-tiered structure with circular frame and put it in profile, you can see that there is something off with it.  It appears the frame has a 5 meter height and the pipe invert isn't being directed to the junction section.  And the cylindrical transition is nonexistant.  Therefore, there seems to be something that isn't right with the original structure.  When it was copied and altered, more problems resulted.  The structure needs to be rebuilt to produce the results you need.
