SewerGEMS - modelbuilder

Question

I am creating a sewer model from shapefiles using model builder. The model builder creates manhole at the missing connectivity. Earlier version gave an option (on model builder wizard) to select type of element to be used to handle missing connectivity. I want to use transition element, and not sure how can I do that. Will appreciate support. Thanks

Pranam, 
 
I saw your service request and have sent you an email. Anyone else that might be interested in the answer can find it below: 
 
Currently, there isn't a way to change the connectivity element. It would probably save you some time to leave the manholes, since they are place holders for joining conduits and they're similar to transitions. The wiki article below outlines the differences between manholes and transitions:

If you'd like to have transitions in those locations though you can use the batch morph tool found under the Tools menu on the selection set of manholes that need to be morphed. The wiki below explains how to use the batch morph tool.
