Storm sewer plan/profile sheet

pln-prod-strm-swr-01.mp4 5:39

Prerequisite: This workflow requires a detailed storm sewer model using Civil 3D Pipe Network Parts. More information on developing a storm sewer model is here: Storm sewer layout using pipe networks

Workflow overview

• Plans Production Storm Sewer Plan Profile Sheets

  • Data reference design objects
  • External reference existing and design drawings
  • Create alignments and surface profiles for pipe network trunks and laterals
  • Create view frames
  • Create Storm Sewer Sheets
  • Project pipe network objects to profile views
  • Create super imposed profiles for pipe network trunks on roadway alignment profile views
  • Create profile views for laterals
  • Add plan view labels
  • Add profile view labels
  • Final sheet clean up

Key takeaways

• These sheets use the main roadway alignment and/or side road alignments as the baseline for view frame creation.

  • Since the existing and proposed ground over the storm sewer parts is to be shown in the profile view, alignments of the pipe network will be created. Surface profiles along the pipe network trunk alignments will then be superimposed to the roadway alignment profile views to be viewed on the plan sheets.

    

  • Individual profile views for the laterals will be created and shown on the plan sheets.

• Storm sewer plan profile sheets utilize stacked profiles to create two profile views on each sheet. The top profile can be used to display the trunk line and the bottom profile view can be used to display the laterals. In cases where there are trunk lines on either side of the roadway, the two trunk lines can be used to display each trunk line.

Sample project data

Sample project data should be downloaded and extracted to C:\WisDOT\Design\c3d. For subsequent versions of files as the training moves on, copy the individual files into the folders as structured in the zip files.

Set the Data Shortcuts working folder and project folder

Make sure the data shortcuts working folder is set to your project.

1. In Toolspace > Prospector tab > right-click Data Shortcuts > Set Working Folder

2. Browse to the 11701902(Your Project ID) project folder, and go one level up from that.

   Tip: You should select the C3D folder that is two levels above the project _Shortcuts Folder or one level above the Civil 3D Project Folder.

3. OK
4. In Toolspace > Prospector tab > right-click Data Shortcuts > Set Data Shortcut Project Folder
5. Select the project folder 11701902(Your Project ID)

Review storm sewer Pipe Network reference files

The design storm sewer pipe network references other Civil 3D objects such as surfaces and alignments to allow for automatic labeling and design calculations. These objects must be referenced into the sheet drawing prior to referencing the pipe network.

1. Open the source drawing for the pipe network
   1. Toolspace > Prospector tab > Data Shortcuts > Expand Pipe Network > Right-click Storm pipe network > Open Source Drawing
   2. In the source drawing for the pipe network review and make note of the object references for the pipe network
      1. Toolspace > Prospector tab > Expand Pipe Network > Expand Storm > Click Pipes
      2. In the Toolspace > Prospector tab > preview area (at the bottom) look for the Reference Alignment column.

         1. Scroll down through to find the alignments the pipes reference. Make note.

            

      3. Look for the Surface Column

         1. Scroll down through to find the surfaces the pipes reference. Make note.

            

      4. I Toolspace > Prospector tab > Expand Pipe Network > Expand Storm > Click Structures
      5. In the Toolspace > Prospector tab > preview area (at the bottom) look for the Reference Alignment column.
         1. Scroll down through to find the alignments the structures reference. Make note.
   3. Look for the Surface Column

      1. Scroll down through to find the surfaces the structures reference. Make note.

         Tip: The Process of searching names can be made easier if you left click the Reference Alignment / Reference Surface column header. This will sort the table by this column.

1. Create Data Shortcut References

   Tip: To create a data shortcut reference, in Toolspace > Prospector Tab > Datashortcuts, expand the object types (Surfaces, Alignments, etc) to find the object you want to reference. Right click on the object and choose Create Reference. Then assign object and label styles as desired for the object.

1. Layout1 is part of the design template. It can be deleted.
2. Select Layout1
3. Right-click > Delete

Create lateral profile views

Info: As explained later in this training, the lateral profile views create a unique situation when overlapping a larger profile view, such as the bottom profile view here. When labeling, the labeling tool gets confused as to which profile view it is part of and usually places labels incorrectly. Options include the following:

Option 1: When creating the profile views for the laterals, digitize them in open model space. Add pipe network labels, and then move the profile views to the bottom profile view within the limits of the plan sheet.

Option 2: If lateral profile views overlap the bottom profile view, select the main bottom profile view and move it out of the way. Add labels to the lateral profile view, then slide the main profile view back into place. (This will be demonstrated in this training topic)

A profile view will be created for each lateral that is not shown in the trunk line profile view.

1. Home Tab > Profile & Section Views > Profile View > Create Profile View
   1. General
      1. Select Alignment: Lateral 30-30A
         1. This specifies the lateral to be displayed

      2. Series of parts
         1. Select the upper and lower parts contained in the lateral.
         2. Enter or Right Click

      3. Next

   6. Data Bands
      1. Select Band Set: Storm Sewer
      2. The data bands in the (Insert) profile views are turned off, so this doesn't matter as much.
   7. Create Profile View

   8. Digitize the profile views in the lower profile view.

      

Turn on external references

If the external references have been turned off, turn them back on using the following steps.

1. Home Tab > Palettes > External References Manager
2. Select all of the external references to be turned on
3. Right Click > Reload

This process can be done as a whole network or each part individually. Depending on the project conditions, it is recommended to use Entire Network Plan to start and then add/adjust individual labels later. Best practice is to work through the different pipe part labels, one at a time (Pipe labels and structure labels). When working on pipes, set the structure label style to _No Labels. When working on structures, set the pipe label style to _No Labels.

Task:

• Add structure description labels. Structure Desc Circle (Left/Right)
• Add pipe slope arrows. PLAN Storm - Single/Multiple Arrows
• Add pipe labels. PLAN Storm - Diameter/HE Dimensions/Pipe Name

Add Labels:

1. Perform this work while in model space. Pan to the profile views used in the sheets.
2. Annotate tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Labels
   1. Feature: Pipe Network
   2. Label Type: Single Part Profile(Or Entire Network Profile if it is desired to add more than one label at a time.)
   3. Label Style Options
      1. Pipe Label Style: Add Invert and Prof Storm labels to each pipe
         1. Invert End: Labels the pipe end elevation. Requires the label to be dragged to insert a leader.
         2. Invert End LT/RT: Adds a label of the end of pipe invert elevation. Choice of LT/RT depends on the desired location of the label with respect to the pipe. LT is placed on the left end of the pipe. RT is placed on the right end of the pipe Label contains a line that connects with the bottom of the pipe.
         3. Invert Start:Labels the pipe start elevation. Requires the label to be dragged to insert a leader
         4. Invert Start Lt/Rt: Adds a label of the start of pipe invert elevation. Choice of LT/RT depends on the desired location of the label with respect to the pipe. LT is placed on the left end of the pipe. RT is placed on the right end of the pipe Label contains a line that connects with the bottom of the pipe.
         5. PROF Storm:Labels Pipe Description, Class, Size, and Slope (Use Label Entire Network Profile)
      2. Structure Label Style: Add a Rim Elevation and Structure Profile label to each structure.
         1. Rim Elevation: Adds a rim elevation label. Must be dragged to add a leader
         2. Rim Elevation - LT/RT: Adds the rim elevation with a leader line (can be dragged if needed with a leader)
         3. Structure Profile:Labels the Structure Name (Use label type Entire Network Profile)
         4. Sump Elevation - LT/RT: Adds the sump elevation with a leader line. Must be dragged to the bottom left or right corner of the structure.
3. Adjust labels to fit in profile view and not overstrike other parts
   1. For short pipes, pipe labels can be dragged out of pipe.
4. Adjust leaders to direct towards the center of the circle of the label.

5. If required to switch the direction/layout of a label, select the label > Edit Label Style > Change the Label Style to the desired type.

Info: Additional information on label adjustments is explained here: Adjust labels to fit profile views #adjst-lbl

Info: For dual profile views, only do work in the upper profile view at this time. Lateral profile views require special workflows to place labels correctly.

Add structure name and pipe description labels

1. Annotate tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Labels
   1. Feature: Pipe Network
   2. Label type: Entire Network Profile

2. In each trunk profile view, select a pipe or structure to place the labels.
   1. Re-click Add for each profile view.

Add structure rim elevation labels

Review the profile view to determine which rim elevation labels may be best. Rim Elevation - LT and Rim Elevation - RT labels are available to minimize post-placement adjustments. In tight areas, these labels may be used in dragged state to customize the label location.

1. Annotate tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Labels
   1. Feature: Pipe Network
   2. Label type: Single Part Profile
   3. Pipe label style: _No Labels
   4. Structure label style: Rim Elevation - LT or Rim Elevation - RT
   5. Crossing pipe label style: _No Labels
   6. Add
2. In each trunk profile view, select each structure to place the labels.
3. Change the Structure label style as needed while working through the profile views and subsequent structures.

Add structure sump elevation labels

Review the profile view to determine which sump elevation labels may be best. Sump Elevation - LT and Sump Elevation - RT labels are available to minimize post-placement adjustments. In tight areas, these labels may be used in dragged state to customize the label location.

1. Annotate tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Labels

   1. Feature: Pipe Network
   2. Label type: Single Part Profile
   3. Pipe label style: _No Labels
   4. Structure label style: Sump Elevation - LT or Sump Elevation - RT
   5. Crossing pipe label style: _No Labels
   6. Add
2. In each trunk profile view, select a structure to place the labels.
3. Change the Structure label style as needed while working through the profile views.

Add pipe invert labels

Pipe invert labels should be placed one at a time. Depending on the start/end and slope of the pipe, label styles are available for both the LT and RT ends of a pipe for both the start and end of the pipe. LT means the label is intended to be placed on the left end of the pipe. RT means the label is intended to placed on the right end of the pipe. Start means the label reads and displays the start invert of the pipe in the direction it was drawn. End means the label reads and displays the end invert of the pipe in the direction it was drawn.

1. Annotate tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Labels

   1. Feature: Pipe Network
   2. Label type: Single Part Profile
   3. Pipe label style: Invert - Start - LT/RT or Invert - End - LT/RT
   4. Structure label style: _No Labels
   5. Crossing pipe label style: _No Labels
   6. Add
2. In each trunk profile view, select a pipe to place the label.
   1. Either change the label style for each end of the pipe depending on the configuration, or place similar label styles along all of the pipes with similar configurations.

3. Change the structure label style as needed while working through the profile views.

When two profile views are overlapping, the pipe network labels can become unpredictable when placing. This is avoided by separating overlapping profile views:

Option 1: When creating the profile views for the laterals, digitize them in open model space. Add pipe network labels, and then move the profile views to the bottom profile view within the limits of the plan sheet. (Not Demonstrated)

Option 2: If lateral profile views overlap the bottom profile view, select the main bottom profile view and move it out of the way. Add labels to the lateral profile view, then slide the main profile view back into place. (This will be demonstrated in this training topic)

1. Select the bottom profile views of the dual profile views. (Do not select the smaller lateral profile views)
2. Home Tab > Modify Panel > Move
   1. Specify base point: Select a base point anywhere in model space
   2. Specify second point or: Select a point that moves the profile views outside of the limits of the lateral profile views.
3. Add Pipe and Structure Labels as specified in 'Add hyperlink'>Add profile labels to structures and pipes
4. Move main bottom profile view back into place
   1. Select all of the main-bottom profile views that are out of place.
   2. Home Tab > Modify Panel > Move
   3. Specify base point: Select a base point on the top left or right corner of one of the profile views to be moved.
   4. Specify second point or: Select a second point on the lower left or right corner of the corresponding upper profile view.

Label styles are set up to be a best guess at desired location. In some conditions, the label styles will need to be adjusted. Use the grips to adjust the label location. Review the following on how to adjust the different types of labels.

Profile structure label

When entering dragged state for profile structure labels, the leader tends to want to attach to the overall center of the structure. This tip provides a way to have the leader attach to the top center of the rim.

1. Enter the dragged state by grabbing the diamond grip and moving the label. Adjust the label so the anchor is near the top center of the rim.
2. Zoom in and Grab the Diamond Grip and adjust where the leader is attached to the label (it doesn't matter the location, just need to adjust the leader)
3. While the label is selected, on the Contextual Ribbon, click Toggle Label Pin.
4. Grab the Square Grip and adjust the label location.
5. Near the diamond grip, click the "-" grip to reset the leader attachment.
6. You can now adjust the label to where ever you wish and the leader will follow, but remain pinned to the top of the structure.

Profile pipe label - Invert labels

In areas where the standard invert labels may not work, the label must be dragged. When this occurs, the leader attaches to the centerline of the pipe. Here is the workflow to get the leader to "attach" to the pipe bottom.

1. Make sure the diamond grip is snapped to the end of the pipe.
2. Enter the dragged state by grabbing the square grip and adjusting the label to the desired location.
3. Adjust the diamond grip so the leader end intersections the structure edge.
4. Click the "+" grip to add a leader vertex.

5. Snap the new vertex to the bottom of the pipe at the intersection with the structure.

   

Placing labels in lateral profile views

Labels placed in smaller profile views that may be overlaying larger profile views may not look correctly because Civil 3D incorrectly sees the labels being placed in the larger profile view.

1. Select the larger profile views
2. Move or Home Tab > Modify Panel > Move
3. Move the larger profile views down so they do not overlap with the smaller profile views.
4. Place labels in the smaller profile views.
5. Move the large profile views back to their original location, snapping to an upper corner of the bottom profile as the base point and target the lower corner of an upper profile view as the move point.
   1. Move or Home Tab > Modify Panel > Move

Pipes with labels outside of profile view

In cases where pipes may partially hang off of a profile view, when placing a label, the labels might not appear. This is because the labels get placed at the mid point of the pipe. The profile view needs to be extended temporarily, to allow the label to be displayed and moved.

1. Select the profile view displaying the pipe.
2. Contextual Ribbon > Profile View Properties
   1. Stations Tab
   2. Adjust the start or end station value by 100'.
   3. OK
3. Locate/add/adjust labels as needed.
4. Contextual Ribbon > Profile View Properties
   1. Stations Tab
   2. Adjust the start or end station value back to the original station value.
   3. OK
