Pipe Rule Set: Min Cover = 1.5'. Pipe Shows rule set but says Min Cover = 0'.

[doni49]

My rule set says that the min cover should be 1.5' (this is for a perforated under drain and that's what the structural engineer wants).  But even though the pipe shows the rule set is assigned to it, the pipe still says min cover is zero.  What am I missing?

TIA!

EDIT:  As if it's not bad enough that it is putting ZERO for min cover, I needed to add three pipes.  They came in with DIFFERENT MIN/MAX COVER numbers.  Min cover is SUPPOSED to be 1.5' and Max cover is set to 10' (I left it at it's default).  But they're BOTH diff in the three new pipes.

How can I get it to apply the right info from the rule set?

TIA (again)!

I dont have a great answer for this, but looking at one of my pipe networks I noticed that one of my pipes has 0 cover, but it is a pipe that has a distance without any surface above it.

Thanks for the reply but that's not the case here -- the pipes are all well within the boundary of the surface.

And your sure the surface is being referenced? (That one has gotten me before)

Here's a screenshot showing my pipe network, the Pipe Network Tools (which shows that the surface is referenced) and the surface with boundary.

Not trying to kick a dead horse here, but verify in the pipe network vista that it is set correctly; example is that I changed my reference surface after building the design, the new surface was set only for network objects created afterwards, not going back and updating.

Ok.  Thanks.  I thought when you assinged the surface to the network, it did so for the whole network.

You would think so, but that would take the fun out things! Glad it helped.
