Has anyone had any luck having GEOPAK draw drainage features into a XS file?
I am using the sample criteria delivered with GEOPAK V8XM. I am able to get the pipe.x criteria file to draw pipes into my cross section file, but I am unable to get any of the structure criteria files to draw. I have assigned the 4_man_hole.x file to my manholes in my drainage library. When I use criteria viewer I see that the proper drainage criteria files are being called, but the manhole criteria file just skips to the "end sub" line of the 4_man_hole.x file. As I step through the criteria, it then steps into the the pipe.x file and processes it as expected.
I just want to get the structure criteria files to work so that I can step through them with Criteria Viewer so I can see where I need to modify the sample criteria to fit our standards. I find this is easier than trying to mentally visualize what the criteria files are doing.
Thanks for you help,

Josh,
It could be that your drainage cells are not setup correctly. The cells themselves must have construction points built in to give the criteria some guidance.
I've got a dataset setup to run that I would be glad to send you. Just drop me an email and I'll get it to you.

Thanks for replying to my BE Communities post.
My drainage cells are 2D, plan view cells with construction class points for connecting pipes to them. I have been using them for many years for storm sewer design, but this is the first year that I tried getting the storm system design to plot onto cross sections. Is there something special I need to do to the cells themselves for this to work? Like I said, the pipe.x criteria works, and I was hoping to get the 4_man_hole.x (or some other, similar criteria) to at least launch, so that I can run it with Criteria Viewer to see where/how I need to modify it to work with our standards.
I would like to take a look at your dataset to see where mine is different. I have copied this message to you via e-mail.
Thank you,
