Pipe Network

This set of commands is to measure pipe networks and store as-built values. The pipe network model is created by the Carlson Hydrology module and is stored in a .sew file.

Set Model

This command selects the pipe network model file (.sew) to process.

Prerequisite: Pipe network model file .sew
Keyboard Command: set_sew

Plan View Label Settings

This command defines how to draw the pipe network. See the Hydrology chapter for a description of these options. All the options for the Field version of this command are the same except a few on the General Settings tab. The Use As-Built Values option uses the measured values for the labels instead of the design values from the original .sew file. The Measured Color sets the label color for values that have been measured. The Unmeasured Color sets the label color for values that are not yet measured.

Prerequisite: None
Keyboard Command: setup_sew

Measure

This command measures as-built structures. On the first dialog, select the structure to measure by either Screen Pick where you pick on the drawing or from the pull-down list of structure names. Then pick the Start button to begin measuring. Then the program takes readings from the instrument and reports the difference and direction to the structure like the Stakeout command. Once at the structure, pick the Store button. Then the As-Built Report dialog shows the difference between the structure design and measured positions. In this dialog, you can measure the bottom of the structure either by entering a depth or bottom elevation. Likewise you can measure the inverts for pipe connection by either depth or bottom elevation.




Prerequisite: set_sew
Keyboard Command: stake_sew

Edit

This command allows to edit the bottom elevation and inverts of a structure. After selecting the structure to edit, the As-Built Report dialog is shown for making the edits.

Prerequisite: stake_sew
Keyboard Command: edit_sew

Report Structures

This command reports structure parameters including the design and measured positions and differences.

Prerequisite: stake_sew
Keyboard Command: report_struct_sew

Report Pipes

This command reports pipe parameters including the design and measured slopes.

Prerequisite: stake_sew
Keyboard Command: report_pipe_sew

Draw Plan View

This command draws lines, labels and symbols for the pipe network. See the Hydrology chapter for more info.

Prerequisite: set_sew
Keyboard Command: plan_sew

Draw 3D

This command draws the pipes and structures as 3D Faces. See the Hydrology chapter for more info.

Prerequisite: set_sew
Keyboard Command: 3d_sew
