Offset pipe position from manhole centre

  • 1.  Offset pipe position from manhole centre

    Is these a way within the utility module to offset the end of the pipe from the centre of manhole.

     

    There is a hydrobrake manhole and the inlet pipes are centred on a point that is offset from the actual centre of manhole.

     

    Is there any way to do this and still use the trench templates?

    You can offset the end of the pipe in the line of the pipe but not laterally in the manhole - i.e. If you have a 48" manhole you can stop at center, where it hits the side of the manhole or at an offset to center - e.g. 12 or 18" from the center. 

     

    If something different to that can you share the pdf plans for this and I will take a look tomorrow

    You could also create a new Run and use the offset location as the node center for the new run

    What I will do then is create a generic node with no diameter to use for the inlet pipes node, at the offset coordinates.

    Use the manhole as the end and beginning of new runs, so the trenches will be on different designs but still in the correct positions. I'll let you know if it works well.
