Changing hydrant to cylindrical structure...how do you do it?

[Stuart_Telford]

First off, very new to pressure networks so no making fun...Trying to create a custom parts list for my company and want to display fire hydrants realistically in profile view.  So my question is since stock hydrant parts don't target a surface, can I replace the hydrant part family with a cylindrical part that targets a surface?  Effectively representing the riser pipe coming from the hydrant and then attach a hydrant block to the top of that.  If yes please explain how to swap these parts out.

Any one have other solutions on how to get hydrants to look better in profile view.

Thanks!

I don't know how to make a pressure part target a surface or anything else. I don't know that it can be done.

We have had issues from Day 1 with hydrants not coming into a profile view drawn correctly when they are on a hydrant lead tee'd off the main line. They come in minuscule, so tiny you can barely see them. I created a dynamic block of a hydrant that you can stretch the riser up/down to match the proposed ground that can be used in a profile view. It's cosmetic only and mostly we don't bother, we delete the tiny hydrant and lead, and label the tee as HYDRANT LEAD or some such.
