GPK Drainage - Show water and sewer crossings in profile?

This is the first project that I have used Water/Sewer on.  I am trying to get Drainage to draw the water and sewer crossings on drainage's profile views.  I am able to get the sewer crossings to draw but not the water main crossings.  The strange thing is that in my Water/Sewer file I am able to get the Drainage crossings to plot in the profile views.  I believe I have the correct symbology set up and I am pointing to the correct water/sewer file or else the sewer crossings would not draw at all in the drainage file.  How can I get the water crossings to plot from within Drainage?

This may be unrelated, but I am not able to get my water profiles to project onto a profile cell, and when drawn not projected (at a specific DP) they draw backward (to the left) as a mirror image of what I would expect.  The sewer profiles draw as expected.

  • Support is trying to resolve this issue.  They have my files and are able to get the water crossings to display on the drainage profiles, but then the sewer crossings that I was able to display disappear.  I have the opposite problem:  I can get the sewer crossings to plot, but not the water crossings.  I am anxiously awaiting their answer.

  • It sounds like the water and sewer plan view graphics are using the exact same symbology, or something similar, such that the water & sewer lines are displaying the same and alternately confusing the profiler.  Also check your DDB file, water and sewer pipes, and make sure they're not using the exact same value in the attribute field.
  • Dan,

    Everything checks out.  My sewer and water lines are drawn using different library items, each with unique symbology and attributes (double checked).  I even deleted and recreated the offending water lines.  They are visible as a file referenced to my Drainage file.  I still have the same problem with Drainage only recognizing the sewer lines.  However, in Water and Sewer, the drainage crossings show up on the water profile.  This project happens to NOT have any sewer vs. water crossings, only sewer AND water crossings vs. drainage lines.

    Thanks for you help,

  • Sounds to me like all is well.  Are you sure the water crossings are toggled ON and those levels are turned ON in the dgn file (see attached)?  If you're in a 3D file, is your display depth wide enough to display everything?  Also try running the Conflict Finder, Drainage vs. Water and see if it can find the crossings.  One way to isolate the problem is draw the water lines in the same dgn as the drainage lines; if that works, its probably a problem with reference file attachments (update sequence or models or... ).  That may be more trouble for you than its worth though, support should be able to locate the issue; be sure to let us know what they come back with too.

    I have occasionally seen projects which defy explanation and will not show some of the crossings.  If you can call our support line and send your dataset will accomplish two goals:

    1. If there is a slight issue in your settings that is causing them not to show then they can help find it.  Dan's instructions are very thorough so it seems increasingly unlikely that this is the case.
    2. If there is a bug then the dataset will help us track it down.
