No, there is not a catalog for water fittings. Use your 2D symbols in plan
and rotate them manually. You mentioned symbols in profile. Are you required
to show fittings, hydrants, etc. in profile?
Trying setting your min/max slopes to arbitrary extremes such as -50% and
+50%
I have one client that simply draws their water lines as 2D polylines and
labels the fittings and hydrants using styles created with the
station/offset label command in alignments. I have another that uses pipes
only to lay out the water lines in plan and an assortment of null structures
for fittings and hydrant assemblies. This allows them to take advantage of
C3D labeling even though they still must manually insert and rotate their 2D
symbols. Of course, the 2D symbols must be moved and rotated again manually
should revisions be required.

I am doing my water main using the pipe networks. First off, is there a
catalog for fire hydrants, valves, bends, ect? If not, how do i create them
for my plan and profile? Second. How do i get the watermain to draw in at
6' below my proposed surface? It just wants to get on a slope and go. I
tried putting my minimum cover setting to 6' and my max at 6' and that
still didnt work. does anybody have any suggestions? by the way im still
using 2006.
Thanks
Andy
