Is it possible to design unknown conduit/manhole inverts while maintaining conduit diameter and other hydraulic elements?

I have a existing model which contains sections with unknown conduit/manhole invert elevations, but the conduit diameter is known. I want to apply minimum slope relative to their known diameter to these sections in order to obtain inverts.

  • I have followed the information in that link, but after running the computation using GVF-Convex, the diameters of conduits are all changed to the smallest diameter included in the Catalog Class rather than maintaining the original size. I have also considered following the solution posted here, but this method doesn't allow for the conservation of some hydraulic elements such as minimum slopes for unique diameters. 

  • Ryan, for a particular run of pipes, are all the diameters the same? If so, could you temporarily uncheck all the "available for design" boxes for all the other diameters, in the respective Catalog Class, run automated design, then re-check the boxes for future design runs?

    Can you use Element Property Inferencing to accomplish what you need? (once we find a solution to the issue you described in your other post)

  • This is a simple but great idea. I will test this out. 

    The Element Property Inferencing tool wont be of help in this scenario, as the area does not contain enough data for the tool to work as desired.
