Have you had time looking at this yet ?

As of doing just a single conduit that is straight, your solutions works fine.

However, as soon as there are bends, it does not work. I think the reason is that the "reverse" command will also reverse the order of the "Bend-nodes". Therefore, the last node (structure), will connect to the second node just next to the first node (structure) and the conduits no longer make sense. Could you try reversing conduits with bends using the file I uploaded so that you see what I mean?

Or see pictures attached on this reply.

Thanks for your help!

Try going into the Utility Properties for the pipe and toggling the Node Reversal. This will change the pipe direction.

Hi Jacquelyn,

I've used you link and uploaded my files for you. Tell me if there's anything more needed or if the files wasn't uploaded properly.

Thanks!

Would it be possible for you to upload a sample file? I would like to test using your data. You can upload it using the link below:

Hi!

Yes, but only if the lines are created by me and not from any reference. However, after creating the conduits the direction of these cannot be changed.

I will receive a lot of lines through references and the intelligence of the linkage between the lines and conduits is good since the lines might be changed by others, so I need to find a workaround...

Your workflow as described is correct. Are you able to change the direction of the lines before you create the utilities?
