In the same note, can the direction be reversed, whereby you can export StormCAD to Inroads S&S to include the Inlet and Conduit Catalog file?
In other words, when you export StormCAD to Inroads, does the export include the material library or Catalog?
Thanks Jesse. Unfortunately the office transition to OpenRoads Designer has been slow.
Hi Ekene,
I would recommend looking into OpenRoads Designer. This is a more seamless integration as it gives you all the civil design tools, along with all the StormCAD hydraulic analysis and design tools in the same user interface. No data import/export is needed. See:

Hi Sushma,
manually entering the data is ok for few structures. However, when dealing with multiple structures will require a work around. I have heard of someone mention using notepad editor. Going back and forth between stormCAD and Inroads S&S is not seamless and some interoperability issues still remain.
Hello Ekene,
I confirmed with the civil team, its not possible to import the .xml file of conduit catalog into Civil products from StormCAD.
About importing manually i mean copying and pasting conduit catalog data from StormCAD into InRoads manually one by one.
