Profile connected pipe labels

[C3D_RickGraham]

Hi all,

I have a label style that will give me the connected pipes on a structure.
However, I have some structures that have a drop from Inv In to Inv out of
greater than normal. The 'normal structures label properly. The greater than
normal do not give me any connected pipe information.

I have physically conected the pipes to the network by gripping it untul I
see the glyph to make sure that there is connectivity in the pipe network. I
also doulbe checked to see if any rule is causing this, but I can't see
anything out of the ordinary. See the attached pic for a (hopefully) better
illustration. CB-1 and 2 are okay. CB-3 has a larger than normal drop and
you can see that it has () after the Inv In- it should be (4).

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

I had a sort of revelation on this. See my post regarding 'Best practices
for straght-curved pipe runs'. The answer is because there is no structure
defined in the curved sections of the pipe, so therefore there IS no
connected structure. So anyone know of any workarounds, I'm listening!

I would use an expression.

Maybe number the manholes by 10, then divide by 10 and truncate the result. So the manhole attached to the curved pipe would be manhole 31 and the actual manhole would be 30 and your labels would look correct. The only problem would be communicating this to the people you work with and any new hires that come in later.

I'm not up on expressions, but... Can an expression be written that says:

If there is no connected pipe don't label anything else go ahead an label it
as it is. Right now, I'm getting () for where the connected pipe should be
since I hard-coded the () in the label style.

Thanks,
