pressure pipe connecting to structure

I'm using pressure pipe for Sanitary FM but don't see a way to connect to a Pump Station or Manhole Structure. I know using conventional pipes and structures from a different network won't connect to each other. I didn't expect a pressure network to connect to a pump station - that would make too much sense when using pressure networks for sanitary.

 

For pump stations, I typically use the 96" Cylindrical Junction Structure and when I want labels to be dynamic in profile, I've always just drawn/connected a small stick of pipe with is hidden by my FM polyline representing my forcemain alignment.

 

I haven't found anything on my searches and didn't see anything on the wishlist either. Pressure pipes seem to me to be geared towards water.

 

How is everyone else using pressure pipes for sanitary forcemain and what's the best workaround when pump stations are involved?

Hi @sfore ,

Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry we don't currently have a way to connect pipe network and pressure network parts. Pressure Network improvements is an area that we are actively researching. While we can't go into details on what/when I can say that connecting to other networks is one of the priority requirements that have been identified.

That's great! I may have found a workaround for what I need to do. Also,
thank you for the quick feedback!

My workaround

pipe networks add a manhole

draw a profile with the manhole

turn off everything -grid and move to pressure profile.
