   5. Create View Frames

2. Adjust the view frame to surround the curb ramp area

   1. Select the view frame

   2. Click the square grip and move to surround the curb ramp area.

      The view frame will be adjusted later on to match the desired plan sheet area

      

3. Adjust the model annotation scale to match the sheet annotation scale

   

Tip: Rotate the view to match the orientation of the view frame. UCS > select top left of view frame > select top right of view frame > digitize a point above the view frame > PLAN > Current > Enter

2. Network Layout Tools > Pipe Network Properties

   

   1. Verify the settings under Labels, Network Parts List, and Default object reference match what was set in the creation dialog box.

3. Name Templates 1. Structures: to edit the name template.

4. Name: <[Next Counter]> 1. Number Style: 01, 02, 03.... 2. Starting number: 1

   Tip: For each subsequent pipe network/curb ramp location, modify the starting number in a way to not over-write previously named/numbered structures and provide a name/number buffer between curb ramp locations. IE: First curb ramp occupies numbers 1 - 23. Start the second curb ramp structure name template at 30.

Recommended locations for elevation points are posted here: FDM 11-46-10.2.3

1. Curb return geometry points
   1. Find curb quarter points

      1. Draw an arc along the arc portion of curb return: Home tab > Draw panel > Arc > 3-Point

      2. DIVIDE Enter
         1. Select the arc
         2. Number of segments: 4Enter

      3. DDPTYPE Enter to change display style for points

1. Network Layout Tools > Structure Part Selection drop-down > Concentric Cylinder Structure > Concentric Structure 48 dia....
2. Network Layout Tools > Draw Pipes and Structures button > Structures Only
   1. Recommended layout of structures/elevation points:
      1. Work from downstation to upstation of the curb return alignment
      2. Work in "layers" through the curb ramp for consistent numbering
      3. Flange Line
      4. Curb Back
      5. Ramps
      6. Sidewalk Landings
      7. Tie-in Points
   2. If some elevations are "0", there isn't a surface definition in that exact location. Best practice is to add the required locations as frequencies to the curb and gutter corridor in the curb ramp design drawing.
   3. Recommended elevation point locations
      1. Curb and gutter flange geometry points and intersections with cross walk
      2. Curb back/curb ramp lower landing and taper intersection points
      3. Ramp
      4. Upper Landing
      5. Tie in locations
      6. Locations of sidewalk grade change
3. Remove the profile labels from the curb and gutter flange alignment.

   2. Select the Profile Geometry Points line
   3. (delete)
4. Select and delete the points created along the alignment.

The goal is to adjust the labels so they aren't impeding background linework. Try to place the labels in white space.

1. Select the label
2. Adjust the label location using square grip
3. Adjust leader anchor location

Create additional structures and update naming

Create additional structures at any new locations as needed.

pln-prod-crb-rmp-dtl-10.mp4 5:37

   2. By Network: checked
   3. Select Network: 2ndNW (choose the curb ramp pipe network)

3. Split Table:

   Tip: Optional depending on number of structures/elevation points. A good starting point is divide the number of elevation points by 2 and put that in the "Maximum rows per table." Round up for odd numbers.

   1. Maximum rows per table: 18
   2. Maximum tables per stack: 3
   3. Offset (distance between tables): 0.5"
   4. Tile tables: Across
   5. Behavior: Dynamic
   6. OK

      2. Specify rotation angle:Reference Enter
      3. Specify reference angle: Choose the top left corner of the table
      4. Specify second point: Choose the top right corner of the table
      5. Specify the new angle: Choose the top right corner of the view frame
6. Move the table back into the view frame
   1. Adjust the view frame as needed to allow proper placement of table and labels

Add a wipeout to hide existing topography

1. Home Tab > Layers > Layers drop-down > P_MISC

3. WIPEOUT
   1. Specify first point or [Frames/Polyline]: P to choose a polyline
   2. Select the polyline that encompasses the structure table
   3. Erase polyline?:Y to erase
4. Select the structure tables > Home tab > Layers panel > Layers Drop Down > P_MISC_Text
5. WisDOT Sheets tab > Manage panel > Layers pull-down > Layer Display Order
   1. Select P_MISC_Text
   2. Use the up arrow to move the layer above P_MISC
   3. OK

Info: The structure table is dynamic to the pipe network. If a structure is added to the network, the table will automatically update. If the elevation or location of the structure changes, the table will update.

pln-prod-crb-rmp-dtl-11.mp4 6:52

The structure table remain dynamic to the pipe network and the structures it contains. Create more structures along the pedestrian curb to label the elevations and locations of the pedestrian curb grade breaks. (Add more structures as needed in other areas as well)

Add pedestrian curb to pavt.dwg

The pedestrian curb should be added to pavt.dwg so it may be shown in other plan sheet drawings other than the curb ramp plan detail drawing.

1. Close the curb ramp plan detail sheet drawing (023101-cr.dwg)
2. Open ProjectID\11701902\Design\Edgelines\pavt.dwg
3. Create a polyline along the back of sidewalk within the limits of the curb ramp.
   1. On layer P_Path_Sidewalk
4. Offset the polyline 0.5' for the Pedestrian Curb Back.
5. Select the Pedestrian Curb Back
   1. Home Tab > Layers > Layers drop-down > P_RDWY_C_AND_GBack
6. Delete the polyline that is concurrent with back of sidewalk
7. Save and Close

Create additional elevation points

1. Open ProjectID\11701902\SheetsPlan\023101-cr.dwg
2. Modify Tab > Design panel > Pipe Network
3. Pipe Networks Contextual ribbon > Modify panel > Edit Pipe Network
   1. Select pipe network: 2ndNW
   2. OK
4. Use the Network Layout Tools to create additional storm sewer structures.

Rename Parts

Rename any structures to modify the point numbering system.

1. Select the structures to be renamed in the order to be named.

2. Modify tab > Pipe Network > Pipe Network Contextual ribbon > Modify panel drop-down > Rename Parts

   Info: The structure table is dynamic to the pipe network. If a structure is added to the network, the table will automatically update. If the elevation or location of the structure changes, the table will update.
