Structures do not display correctly in Profile view

Structures do not appear correctly in profile view.  The bottom of the structure appears higher than the pipe inverts.  When I look at the structure propities they are correct.  I have tried swapping the structures, and it still draws the structure bottom above the inverts.

It would certainly be easy if you posted a .dwg of what is happening.

Check that the structure is assigned to the proper Alignment, the proper surface perhaps as well.

@tjonesXKRGD hi,

1.Try to connect "strange" pipes to these structures.

2.Check "Sump Depth" of structure's properties. It must be 0.

2. Maybe you have another pipes connected to these structures? If yes, check their invert elevations.

Eduard:

Don't confuse him.  Sumps do not have to be "0".  I know I want mine to be zero but that is not his problem.  His sumps in question are higher than the pipe invert.

Definitely take Bill's advice and make sure everything is referenced correctly.  I usually see this when I'm moving pipe inverts around and the structures just don't seem to keep up with.  I've found that going into structure properties and changing the sump value forces Civil 3D to look at the attached pipes and move the sump accordingly.  Sometimes, even just typing the same sump value you already use and hitting apply will work.  Change it to something else and then back again always works for me.

try selecting the offending structure, right click and "apply rule".
