Have you ever went to Draw Pipe Network Parts in Profile View only to have the Profile View become a “Sky Scraper” or in the case of setting the Profile View elevations to user specified, not have any of the pipe network parts show at all? (That’s because they’re lost in the Sea, Right? Well not really, they just have an elevation that is 0.00 or less.) Sea Level, get it? OK, maybe that was a stretch.

Has it been so early in the design process that your co-worker wants to get started on the Storm Sewers design before you’ve even touched the PG surface and they want to get started preliminarily on the pipe calcs. and you’re afraid to define any Pipe Networks until you get the PG finalized or at least close to done?
I’m going to make an educated guess that some of you have. This topic might be somewhere out in Blog Land or Discussion Depths, but I occasionally see this happen to a few users. Hopefully this post will help those few and/or it may just create an additional item to your list of best practices. Make the jump for a tip that may just stop any of those from ever happening.
