Has anyone had any luck either creating an actual Part Builder part or tricking the system in some way to mock a Manhole Tee as shown in the attachment? I have a large road and storm sewer job that we are using these Tees both in round pipe and elliptical pipe instead of large structures to save cost. Just wondering how most people are handling this type of design.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Paert Builder is not my ballywick.
I'm curious why a manhole and 60 inch pile doesn't cut it for you? Are you trying to get it to look actual in profile? Civil3d, in my experience cant even get rectangle right.
I know Civil 3D already has profile view issues and I'm able to work around most of those for now. I'm mostly interested in this for quantity purposes and just plain accuracy. Right now I just use a manhole structure with the same internal diameter and wall thicknesses as the pipe and it looks pretty good. I'm just alwasy on the look-out for bigger and better.
The State of Wisconsin DOT uses Manhole Tees. They have a Parts list that can be downloaded. I have never used one, but there other parts work great.
The DOT parts list can be down loaded here.

Hope that helps.
I took a quick look at all of the WisDOT Pipes and Structures and the Manhole Tee Structure looks very effective. Thank you. They also have very interesting headwall and apron structures.
I would still like to see how other people are building these types of custom structures, so if anyone else knows of any other implementations, please keep posting.
Thank you,
Reviving and old thread.
I'm currently working on a storm drain project that will be using tee manholes. I found this post but the link to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is a dead end.
Would anyone else have or know of a pipe catalog or parts list that has tee manhole structures? These would be nice to have to show and label correctly in plan and profile.
Thank you
afternoon,

It is entirely possible to build this in Part Builder. It's been a LONG time since I have.
It looks like the Civil 3D files have moved to https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/doing-bus/eng-consultants/cnslt-rsrces/tools/cad/civil-3d.aspx
Some resources for the files are at https://c3dkb.dot.wi.gov/Content/c3d/wisdot-cstm/c3d-itm/c3d-itm-pip-ntwrk.htm
