I used Trex for most of my model elevations but some areas are outside of my topo range. I went ahead and modified the node elevations manually but now have added valves in those areas and would like to somehow link the node elevations to the valves if possible. Thanks, Susanne
HI Sussane,
If you are adding valves above pipelines (splitting the pipes) the valves would automatically take the average elevation as per the upstream and downstream node elevations. But if you wish to assign specific elevations to valves you have to enter them manually.
It would be best if you can get the elevations for your "out-of-scope" elements via TReX. Maybe extend the area for the terrain to include these points.

This can be done by exporting the nodes with known elevations to shapefile, then importing it into the nodes with missing elevations via Trex. See the following article from our Wiki: Inferring ground elevation from surrounding elements

I don't have access to an application that runs shapefiles, such as ArcMap etc. Any more ideas on how to resolve the issue?
Susanne, ArcMap is not required with my suggested workflow. You can export shapefiles from the element Flextable, and Trex can use them, all within the Standalone version. See the wiki article I mentioned.
