Egg shaped conduit.

Question

Friends, 
 We need to design Egg shaped drain in a network. Even though Egg Shape available in the conduit catalogue, the same is not available for design and also not available in the engineering library. Request for help in this regard. 
 Regards 
 Prahalathan.

I've reviewed design mode with the Egg Shape conduit and it does not appear to be functioning with the checkbox under the "Available for Design" column checked. If the Class Availability "Available for Design" option near the bottom of the window is greyed out the shape is not available for design, which is working as designed. 
 
 I will put in an enhancement for these shapes to be considered for added design in a future version of the software.

Prahalathan, 
 The egg shape is available for design by clicking the check box next to the entry next to the "Label" column in the conduit catalog, but it isn't available to be imported. If you need to use the egg shaped conduit the values will need to be entered manually. The only value needed for creating an egg shaped design is the height. The other values are calculated from a table by the software. After creating the new entries you can save them to the conduit catalog for future use with these directions . There is additional information about the egg shaped conduits that is found in the help document titled conduit shapes, which comes with the software.

This wiki article lists all the shapes that are available for design. The shape may be available for design, but the class of shapes as a whole unit may not be available, so each entry would have to be checked off individually.
