Pipes in water cad v 8i

Hello , I recently surveyed my college pipe network and wanted to make it in water cad and analyse it. I got all the surface elevations , contours etc
MY DOUBT is when we connect a pipe to a tank  to another tank. When there is a vertical downward/upward bend in pipe how to represent it in water cad.

I tried a lot but bend is happening only horizontally. Please help me with it.

  • Elevations are entered in the properties of the nodes. If you have a junction at either end of the pipe, open the properties of the junction and you will see an elevation field.

    Let's say you have a 100 ft tall pipe and you want to see the pressure halfway up. To do this, you would insert a junction (you can split the pipe automatically by placing the junction on top) in the middle of the pipe, with an elevation corresponding to the halfway point. The elevation of the upstream node would be the bottom of the 100 ft high pipe and the elevation of the downstream node would be the top of the 100 ft high pipe. You would also set the length of each pipe to 50 feet.
