I have an issue where my connected pipes are not showing as connected in profile view but show fine in plan view. My other pipe network shows fine in profile view as well.

Make sure the connected pipe is not selected to be drawn in the profile view. Check the Pipe Network tab of the profile view and un-check next to the pipe the Draw column as needed.

 

If a pipe is selected to be drawn in a profile view it will not be displayed as a connected pipe (oval) in the structure.

Thank you for the response, however, the issue is not crossing pipes. The issue is standard plan and profile of a pipe. I have tried deleting them from the profile and re-adding them and still have the same issue.

Are you referring to the ends of the sanitary pipe sticking into the structure in the profile view?   That would be a function of the structure style.  In the structure style on the Profile tab there is a check box towards the lower right for "Enable Part Masking".  That will mask the ends of the pipe within the structure when displayed in a profile.

The issue is that the pipe is acting as if it is not connected to the structure at all. If you notice in the image I attached of the profile, the pipes and their inverts are not showing up in the manhole profile label. "Enable part masking" is checked and this tells me there is an issue with these pipes not being connected as they are displaying inside of the structure.

Select the pipe in plan view and see if there is the option to 'connect to part' in the right-click menu.  If so, select that option and then the structure it should be connected to.

I ended up deleting the pipes and structures in the xref and re-adding them. Synchronized references and now everything is working. Thanks.

Another issue with the pipes not appearing connected could be with your Structure Style. Under the Profile tab, set the structure to Display As Boundary and enable part masking. If the Structure is set to Display as Block, the part masking may not work.
