Utilities - Gravity Fittings Not Supported in the Create Utility Nodes

  • 1.  Utilities - Gravity Fittings Not Supported in the Create Utility Nodes

    Posted 07-06-2020 03:07

    When creating a utility node, gravity fittings are not available in this interface however you can create a place holder node and change to a gravity node after the fact. I think this is maybe an oversight. Gravity fittings are very common in services; bends, wyes, null nodes, etc. 

     

    There is a work around; create a place holder, select this place holder and then change the site improvement type to the desired node but this adds some steps, especially when in a hurry. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Thank you for the consideration!

    Hey Pat,

    I must be missing something as I was able to create gravity nodes (manhole) and gravity circular pipes and created a run on the fly with no workaround. Can you reach out when convenient and we can work through the issue you're seeing?

    Hey Charlie, this was fixed a while ago along with Create Utility Line actually using the invert for the pipe and a couple other issues in Utilities.

    The thing that has not been fixed that always bugs me is you can't insert a trench template at station 0+00.
