developing a flow path in its corresponding profile view.
00:07
Flow paths are useful for two reasons.
00:10
They provide a connectivity check to ensure that two locations are
00:14
hydraulically joined and they allow profile views long sections to be created
00:21
in the tree view,
00:22
right click flow paths and select add
00:26
In the plan view. The cursor changes to a square with four points on each side.
00:32
When you hover the cursor over a junction element such as the first manhole,
00:36
it changes color to indicate that a selection can be made,
00:41
click the first manhole.
00:44
Notice that as you move the cursor over the flow path,
00:47
it highlights at every junction.
00:49
However,
00:50
you do not need to select every junction.
00:54
Move the cursor down to the last man hole and selected
00:58
all the manholes and pipes turn color to indicate that they are connected.
01:03
You can also verify that the flow path arrows
01:05
between each junction are pointing in the correct direction
01:10
in the tree view. Under flow paths
01:12
a new flow path has been created and is named flow path by default
01:17
to rename it. Right click it,
01:20
select rename and in the type box name IT
01:23
flow one for this exercise.
01:27
Now that the flow path has been created, you can create the section view for it
01:31
Right click Flow one
01:33
and Select Show Profile
01:36
The profile flow one dialogue appears
01:39
containing the new profile view
01:42
across the top is a tool bar for the
01:44
profile view controls below that is the profile view
01:48
itself and at the bottom is a table of all the elements that make up the profile view.
01:54
You can right click the table to change which elements appear here.
01:59
You can also zoom in and out of the profile using
02:02
the mouse wheel or the tools in the profile toolbar.
02:06
This allows you to see each element in greater detail.
02:10
Notice that right now the gray pipes have been laid along the
02:13
surface of the ground because they have not yet been designed.
02:18
The pink lines indicate the pipe depth after they have been placed below ground,
02:22
but note that this is a default depth and
02:24
may need to be edited according to your project.

Flow paths are useful for two reasons: they provide a connectivity check to ensure that two locations are hydraulically joined, and they allow profile views (long sections) to be created.
