The user would like to take the "set invert to stop and add 0.2.
I'd like to set my conduit "set invert to start / set invert to stop" settings to "True" so I do not have to manually input the inverts of the pipes. Unfortunately, that makes the stop invert incorrect, as standard practice is to lift the invert of the pipe slightly (we use two tenths of a foot) at the downstream structure. Is there a way to edit the settings so "set invert to stop" takes the downstream invert and adds 0.2?
Global Edit the "Set Invert to Start Node" column to toggle them all to True.
Select the cells in the "Invert (Start)" column, and Ctrl+C to copy the values to the clipboard (*).
Undo the global edit (to restore the "Set Invert to Start Node" column values).
Place the cursor on the first cell in the "Invert (start)" column and Ctrl+V to paste the values from the clipboard.
Global Edit the "Invert (Start)" column, and Add 0.2.
Do the same for the Stop Node.
(*) Note: In step 3, do not click the column header when selecting the cells to copy. That is easier, but it will include the column header text on the clipboard, so would not paste propely in step 5.
2. There is one key step that you should also perform, and that is to set the Matchline Offset field appropriately. Here are the steps.
Click Components > Default Design Constraints
Click on the Node tab
Make sure 'Pipe Matching' is set correctly (you want to match 'Inverts')
Set the Matchline Offset field to "0.2 ft"
Now when you perform the design run, your inverts will have a 0.2 ft offset.
