Pipe Network - Sump Depth


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, I'm trying to build a storm drain network. When I draw my structures in profile view the sump is really long and deep. I need the depth of the sump to be at the lowest connected pipe elevation.

 

 

So I set my part properties as shown in the pic below, setting the "control sump by" property to "depth" and the "sump depth" value to zero. But the sump is still really deep.

 

 

As a workaround, I will adjust the "rim to sump height" value, but I have over 200 structures and this would be very time consuming.

 

 

Why won't the settings under "sump behavior" work?

It could be that the Rim to Sump part property is a range. something like 1200mm to 4500mm, (metric is better haha).

 

So if your insertion point is your rim your minimum structure height (from Rim to Sump) will be at the low end of the range, pushing your sump well below where you want it to be.

 

Play around in parts builder or edit the XML files to change the range.
