One of the less known features of MX Drainage is the ability to add up to 3 pipes between notes. This update was added to MX Drainage in MX version 08.11.07.227. A run through of the process is detailed below.
Create a pipe run as standard as shown below.
Select the pipe run by clicking on it; it should be highlighted as below. (Ensure that the application focus is set to MX)
Right Click on the pipe to get the pop-up to appear, Select Properties from the list of options.
The panel below will appear detailing the properties of the pipe.
You can set the pipe diameter and the number of pipes as shown below.
Select apply and the pipe will update in the drainage design. You will now have 2 pipes of fixed pipe size running between the two nodes.

Jason,
Are you aware of any way to model two pipes at different invert levels e.g. one pipe on top of another, not two pipes laid side by side like shown in the post above.
I should also note that the two pipes are different diameters.
Thanks,
Ross
