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.
