Additional Information

Known Issues

If the Civil 3D pipe catalog is not found or does not contain the structure used in the drawing and the app is run on pipes in the drawing, the structures will not resize and will not allow for resizing. This is a common Civil 3D issue, but we felt it necessary to make it aware.

The app does not care about pipe or structure rules, if rules are applied, the network could be reset and set values could be lost.

All parts must be connected for the pipe slope multiple commands to process. The app will alert if this is not found true.
