In the 3D viewport,
you'll see the manhole
become very tall, like
the one just down the
road from it.
4. On the Part Properties tab of the Structure Properties dialog box, do
the following:
a. For Automatic Surface Adjustment, select False.
b. For Insertion Rim Elevation, enter 180.972 ( 55.160 ).
c. Click OK.
This corrects the top elevation of the structure, but the pipe still
requires some editing.
5. Press Esc to clear the selection of the manhole. Then, in the left
viewport, select the pipe that begins at the Madison Lane cul-de-sac.
Right-click, and select Properties.
The effects of these
pipe edits are much
more obvious in the
3D viewport. The pipe
is corrected, but the
sump of the manhole
at the cul-de-sac is still
incorrect.
6. In the Properties window, change Start Invert Elevation to
176.972 ( 53.941 ).
7. With the pipe still selected, click Pipe Properties on the ribbon.
8. On the Part Properties tab of the Pipe Properties dialog box, enter -1.5
for Pipe Slope (Hold Start). Click OK.
9. Press Esc to clear the selection of the pipe. Click the manhole at
the center of the Madison Lane cul-de-sac, right-click, and select
Structure Properties.
10. Although it's already set to 2.000 (0.600), type 2 ( 0.6 ) for Sump
Depth, and press Enter. Click OK.
The manhole depth is
updated because the
apparent change to the
sump depth triggered
a recalculation of the
manhole dimensions. If
you're zoomed in closely
to the profile view in
the top-right viewport,
it may seem as though
it has disappeared.
11. Click the top-right viewport, and zoom out until you can see the
Madison Lane profile view.
The profile view has become much shorter because it no longer needs
to accommodate the excessively tall manhole (see Figure 14.14).
