I didn&amp;#39;t notice the placement type first, which was basically the problem.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; However, now when I try to use the second command &amp;quot;place a lateral&amp;quot; it does not work out for me. I use an existing stormwater pipe, adding a new pipe and node with the same type as the existing pipe. The only product of the command is a point on the correct level, but no pipe or node is placed. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Regards,&lt;br /&gt; Daniel Berglund&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Adding a node (structure) to an existing pipe network (conduits).</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/359289?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Mar 2016 12:50:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6a6207ae-17b6-4882-987e-b4aa56286a2b</guid><dc:creator>Robert Garrett</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Use place node command with placement type set to By Conduit Invert. &amp;nbsp;With split will split the original conduit into two pieces at the new node. &amp;nbsp;Without split leaves the original conduit intact. &amp;nbsp;Note that the feature definition use here must be of the same type as the conduit. &amp;nbsp;For example, you would need to use a waster water node type to match to your waste water conduit type.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The place lateral command works differently but may be appropriate depending on your needs. &amp;nbsp;Place Lateral will never break the trunk line. &amp;nbsp;Also, its intended use is for nodes which are offset from the original conduit and connect to the trunk with a tee connection. &amp;nbsp;It will produce a result when the offset is zero but the result may not be what you expect. &amp;nbsp;Using the Lateral command requires that the new node feature definition, the lateral conduit and the original conduit all be of the same type.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have tested both of these commands in a scenario like you describe and they are both working. &amp;nbsp;However, there could be something unique in your data. &amp;nbsp;If you are still unable to get what you need then post the dataset for review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
