I'm trying to use the Storm and Sanitary product add in to design a storm drain system. However, whenever I try to use anything in the Drainage tab (e.g. Drainage - Lay Out or Drainage - Edit/Review...) I get an error stating "You must have an open drainage data file". How do I create/open a drainage data file? I've setup my Project Defaults and they look like this:
As you can probably tell, I'm very new to InRoads. Thanks in advance!
Hello Brandon, You should create sdb file (access mdb database otherwise) in Drainage tab or in File/New and open it for your drainage project.
I believe the Drainage Structures.dat file needs to contain definitions of pipes and structures, along with having a SDB file. I am not sure if that message is for one or the other but I believe it is definitely one of these.
Tools > Drainage > Options has a place to browse to the .dat file, Tools > Structures File is how you edit its contents.
File > New > Drainage tab in how you create the sdb file.
