Drainage: confirming that 2D Pipes' exterior wall lines aren't a thing yet?

other than pipe size-specific linestyles, we don't have two or three lines in 2D for pipes yet, right?

  • Yes. If there is a catalog, when a different item is selected, some sort of assignment of  the difference between one vs the other is important for clarity. We are not paperless yet. The drainage guys want the pipes to pop. Edge lines will not get it.

    The same really goes for inlets. A 5' curb opening vs a 20' curb opening should display differently in 2D and 3D. We have all this intelligence, the model should reflect it graphically as well as non-graphically via attributes/properties.
