Sewer Pipe Design: Read Profile

This command calculates the travel time, flow depth, and velocity for a section of pipe. It reads the stations and elevations of a sewer or pipe profile (.PRO) created by the Design Sewer/Pipe Profile command in the Civil Design module. Pipe sections can be entered as upstream/downstream stations and elevations or as length and slope.
