Standard Pressure Part for Fire Hydrant Profile Display

[hestingjj]

Hello,

I am working on the layout and profiling of some water lines and have noticed that the standard hydrant available with Civil 3D does not seem to display correctly in profile view. A plan and profile snippet of one of the alignments is shown below. The finished grade can be seen as the cyan line on the profile and is 522.81' directly above the hydrant. The invert of the water line is 518.92' at the hydrant (3.89' deep). The hydrant selected in this case is the standard 60" bury depth hydrant available in the standard parts lists. When this part is drawn into the profile view it displays as being below grade. However, when I select the parts and surface and view in the object viewer, the hydrant displays above finished grade (the 60" depth displays correctly). Does everyone else encounter issue/how difficult would it be for me to have a hydrant that simply displays at finished grade?

Thanks!

I just encountered this same issue today. My hydrant appears correct with a 90 degree fitting at the pipe connection, a vertical barrel, and the hydrant on top. However, my profile view looks just like hestingjj's with the fire hydrant at the pipe elevation.

My other issue is I've included the 72in_Bury Depth fire hydrant in my parts list which is the greatest bury depth hydrant available but in my particular installation, it's still below ground. How can I adjust the elevation of the hydrant to be above ground? Will I have to create a new fire hydrant in parts builder with the correct bury depth?

Thank you

I'm having the same issue. Did you figure out how to make a deep bury hydrant?

In the Appurtenance Style part properties profile tab are you showing it as Display as boundary or user-defined block?
