Need a Structure Table to display elliptical and round Pipe Diameters in a structure

[BrianBenton]

We have several projects where we use round storm pipe as well as elliptical, often to the same structure. Our structure table style can only display the pipes as either elliptical or as round.  For example, we can get a pipe to display as 19"x30" in the table, but a round pipe will be displayed as 30"x30".  If the style only shows one diameter then the 19"x30" pipe is displayed as a 19" pipe.

We've been using masked text to write over the missing info but when the structures are revised, the table updates, but the text does not. We are concerned this will be missed and we will be in trouble.

Does anyone have a better solution for this issue? Is there a way I can create a table or label style that will be able to tell if the pipe is round or elliptical and use the proper text format?

Thank you.

Do you have the AEC Collection? Use Project Explorer.

i've not found a way to show both pipe types in a label. we use a separate pipe table and pipe labels for circular pipes vs  elliptical pipes. we don't show pipe sizes in the structure table. i'm not sure how the project explorer would help.

In PE you can create all kinds of custom tables and reports.
