Hi,
I'm trying to connect two headwalls with a channel, I believe this is done in civil storm by using a conduit and defining the section type as rectangular, or trapezoidal. When I display the properties it will not let me change it to anything but a circle? Is this the correct way to do this or is there other ways?
There are other options for me to select, but if selected it just goes back to circle. Attached is the model I was working on.

Hello Joe,
I was able to export the model data into SewerGEMS standalone and it appears that I can change the section type of the conduits. There may be a setting in SUDA where the change is not being properly set. I will need to coordinate with some of my colleagues with the Civil team to see if they have any insight.
In the meantime, based on the setup of the elements, it would actually may more sense to use the channel link element instead of the conduit. In the layout tools, there is a separate channel element that can be used instead. This will allow you to set the cross section data in the headwall element. Given the use of the headwalls here, using the actual channel element instead of the conduit element is the recommended workflow.
Based on the headwall properties, it looks like you already changed the headwall property "Has cross section?" to True, as mentioned in this forum thread and this link. I would recommend changing the conduit into a channel and see if that helps with the issue you are seeing. Note that the channel properties will be defined in the headwall properties rather than the channel element itself.
Regards,
Scott
