Adding Utilities When adding utilities, set up the utilities box, then select the graphics.
Networks • Each pipe is created individually. • Crossing pipes will only show in profiles if created along a network. • Cannot selectively display crossing pipes (all or nothing). • Will shows lengths of pipe crossing your network. • Can be modified directly either in the profile or using other drainage tools. Features vs Networks Features Can be created individually or as strings. Can be added or updated in all profiles and cross sections. Can be selectively turned on and off in profiles & X-sections. Can only be modified using surface tools, and are static in profiles. All crossings are shown as “points” which are either symbols or cells.
Creating a profile using a network 1. Create a profile from an existing alignment
Using Style lock Style lock can be very useful for drawing pipes in profiles using attached symbology, but remember to turn it off when displaying pipes, especially if reference files are attached, as they might “blend in”.
2. Create a profile from a network (in this case, using style lock on) Select object to be displayed based on defined style

Update Profile This will work in MS, AutoCAD using V08.09.03.06. When working in DWG mode, if you have a profile that does not begin at the left side and you exit the session, upon returning, when updating your drainage profile you get an error and this mess.
Cross Sections Once you open the cross section dialogue, look at the tabs
You can rotate your view, and add smooth shading to view pipe conflicts.
