How can I set up StormCAD (or one of the other Hydraulics and Hydrology products listed above) to draw custom cells for manholes, catch basins, and pipes instead of the ones used by default (square for catch basins and circles for manholes)?Product: StormCAD V8iVersion: 08.11.03.77Problem ID#: 86372
Full element symbol editing functionality is available through the use of custom cells inside MicroStation. All elements and graphical decorations (flow arrows, control indicators, etc.) are contained within a .CEL file. For example Stm.cel for StormCAD.To do this open the stm.cel file that's in the install directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\StormCAD8 for StormCAD) then using the File menu > pick > models you can select each of the Hydraulics and Hydrology products' symbols and change them using normal MicroStation commands. Then when you create a new dgn and start laying out elements, the new symbols will be used.
