InRoads Storm & Sanitary: Display Crossing Pipes In A Roadway Profile?

I've noticed that if you enter any pipe culvert ID under both the from and to section under Create Profile>Source>Network that all culverts show up that cross your roadway centreline, which is very useful.

The issue I'm currently having is that circular pipe culverts in particular are displayed twice as large as their actual dimensions in the structures.dat file. This doesn't happen for pipe sewers, box culverts, catch basins, etc though (only circular culverts). Also, on plan view and cross section view the circular pipe culverts are displayed with proper dimensions. It is just the profile view where they are doubled in size. Do you know why this is and what to do to fix this issue?

It appears that this capability has been stripped from InRoads SS4. Is there a new method available?

Thanks.

Here is a video explaining the procedure I typed above: http://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/10377.aspx

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Kevin,

I'm not quite following the solution, so a video would be great.

Thanks!

There is a bit of a trick to it. Since crossing pipes are only displayed when creating "Network" profiles, you can get them to display in an alignment profile by creating a 'dummy' network that run the length of your alignment, then create a Network profile down this 'dummy' network but using the "Existing Profile" option under "Drainage Network Reference". Assign a style to the 'dummy' network structures so you can easily turn off their graphics in the profile and the crossing pipes will remain.

Let me know if this makes sense, if not, it might be a good candidate to record a quick video.
