Once you have placed predefined storm drainage system
00:06
objects such as manholes into your surface model,
00:09
you can connect them using the connections tools in the toolbox
00:14
in this example,
00:15
all the manholes have been placed so it is time to connect them with pipes
00:20
to do so
00:21
in the toolbox,
00:22
expand the connections node and click pipe,
00:26
drag the pipe object to the model and hover the cursor over the first manhole,
00:32
notice that the cursor changes to a cross hair with arrows symbol.
00:37
Place the symbol over the first manhole
00:39
and when you see it snapped to the manhole,
00:41
click to place the start of the pipe.
00:44
It is important that connections are digitized from upstream to downstream,
00:49
following the normal direction of flow.
00:52
Now drag your cursor toward the second manhole
00:55
and notice that the cursor changes to a no symbol as you move it.
01:00
This indicates that the pipe end cannot be placed as long as the no symbol is showing.
01:06
However,
01:07
as soon as your cursor is over the next manhole,
01:10
it changes to the cross hair arrows. Again,
01:13
This indicates that the pipe length can be connected to the second manhole
01:17
manhole. one
01:19
click to place the pipe end,
01:22
zoom in
01:24
click manhole one again to place the start of the next pipe
01:28
and then drag and click manhole to to place the end,
01:32
continue to place the start and end points of each length of pipe from
01:37
manhole to manhole until you have connected all the manholes in this area.
01:42
Be aware that these objects could be created in a Cad model 1st.
01:47
If so,
01:48
then you would not have to place them here in info drainage.
01:52
Either way,
01:53
the outcome should be the same.
01:55
A series of manholes connected by a series of pipes,
01:59
click the select tool to stop the pipe creation mode.

Once you have placed predefined storm drainage system objects, such as manholes, into your surface model, you can connect them using the Connections tools in the Toolbox.
