Solved: Why does my Headwall alter the height of my Storm Water profile view?

ngundakaranja · ‎10-07-2023

When I draw my stormwater network parts in profile view, they come out alright except when I add my headwall. The profile view shoots upwards starting from zero elevation whereas previously without the HW the height was automatic (see photos). Help?

Going to take a guess here that you're placing the headwall where you don't have a EG surface defined. Your pipe appears to be ending at the surface. So may need to change your ending station to fall inside the surface.

Hi, nope. Both the headwall and the attached pipe are within the surface

Something in the headwall is being interpreted at a negative elevation. With out the drawing file I can't tell what it might be. As a work around, set the profile view to static elevations.
