I'm using Drainage and Utilities (ORD 2021) to model existing utilities with elevation.
I have data of existing utilities with elevations above ground and under ground.
I used the "Extract From Graphic" to get the first profile with offset from surface and than planned to edit the profile according to this video but it didn't work as well, I'm having difficulty to adjust the elevation along the lines. The "Break Element" command allows only local change, but for my work I need "clean board".
Another way I found is to use the "Table Editor" and than I can edit each and every point - adjust the station and the elevation.
As I think it might be easier to complex geometry the lines and set the profile as I need- but then I won't be able to use the abilities of the Drainage and Utilities application.
Is there a quick way to set the profile elevation as I need?
Thank you,
Chen,
Please explain more the type of profile you are attempting to create and what you mean by "clean board". Is the profile you have open a utility profile?

If you just want a new profile without any portions of the extracted profile then just design whatever profile you need and set it as active.

You said: "it might be easier to complex geometry the lines and set the profile as I need- but then I won't be able to use the abilities of the Drainage and Utilities application."
Follow the steps as noted in Robert's post to create the complex vertical geometry. When you make it active, the line will appear in your 3D model view. Then use the Extract from Graphic tool to bring the utility into the Drainage and Utility model. Set Method = Selection and select the line in the 3D model view window. Check the box for "Use 3D Element Elevations?" and Vertical Offset = 0 since you are using the 3D line. Don't forget to set your Feature Definition.
