CUSTOM OBJECTS - MANHOLES

Object's definitions - sumps

User can modify the following sump's parameters:
  • Height - H [m],
    If value is set then sump will has got a specified height regardless projected AOD level. In other words: sump's cover may lay above or under projected ground level. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - then height is automatically adjusted so that the sump's top was at the projected ground level.
  • Height from bottom to inlet bottom - Ho [m],
    Constans height, that user can set from sump's bottom to the bottom of the lowest inlet/outlet. This parameter can be used eg for sediment sump, pump stations etc. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means sump's bottom is equated to inlet/outlet bottom.
  • Height above projected AOD level - Ht [m],
    Constans height, that user can set from sump's top to the projected groun/AOD level. This parameter can be used eg for sumps protruding above the ground. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means sump's top is equated to projected ground level.
  • Bottom ordinate [m AOD],
    Setting ordinate of sump bottom allow to pin its bottom to entered ordinate. Then ordinate of bottom inlets/outlets haven't got influence on sump's bottom position. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means sump's bottom ordinate is automtically adjusted to inlets/outlets level.
  • Inner diameter - D [m],
    Value of the inner diameter of sump. If value is 0,00 then diameter is set to 0,2 m.
  • Cover diamter - d [m],
    Diameter of cover of sump. It's may have got a diameter other than the sump. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means sump's cover's diameter is equal to sump's diameter.
  • Distance from side of sump - L [m],
    Distance from cover's left side to sump's left side. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means cover's left edge is adjusted sump's left edge.
  • Manhole height - Hk [m],
    Height of sump's components where their diameter is equal to sump's diameter. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means count of components is none.
  • Cone height - Hs [m],
    Height of cone adapter between component with sump diameter and component with cover diameter Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means adapter is flat.
  • Extension shaft height - Hn [m],
    Height of the component (with constans height) that allow to extend sump to ground level. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - it's means application choose one extension shaft.
  • Extension shaft max. count [pcs] - maximal extension shaft quantity. If value isn't set by user then Drafter will choose appropriate quantity to reach ground level (if sump cover is below ground level). If sump producer doesn't provide extension shafts then choose none option or type -1.
  • Wall thickness [mm],
    Thickness of the sump wall. Thickness is drawing in the cross-section drawing and in the profile drawing if thickness is greater than 50 mm. Default value is 0,00 (zero) - .
  • Sump kind,
    Kind of sump can be chosen from the list, appeared after going to edit mode. User can select from:
    • standard - default,
    • watermeter - drawing with equipment,
    • distributing - for drainage,
    • closing drainage pipes,
    • aerating vertical filter,
    • pump station
  • Align cover to ground level,
    If option is checked then sump drawing is begin from its cover, that is placed on ground level. If option is unchecked then begining draw is sump bottom, that is equated to inlet's bottom level.
  • Without bottom,
    Checking Without bottom option causes drawing sump without bottom, eg: infiltration sump.
  • Backdrop,
    Draw backdrop pipe next to manhole while checkbox is checked and when distance from bottom to invert level is min. 50 cm.

  • Fittings,

    In the Fittings window, you can select which fittings will be placed inside the well.
  • Fitting Elevation,
    height, expressed in meters, by which the fitting in the manhole will be raised in relation to the pipe ordinate specified in the Data table. Below is an excerpt from a profile with a manhole with raised armature.
  • Additional inlet [m AOD/mm/degrees],
    Parameters of the additional inflow, i.e. the one, which is not automatically determined on the basis of other profiles being part of the design, and which is to be marked on the manhole drawing. The data should be given in the notation O/D/A, where O stands for the ordinate, D for the diameter of the inlet, and A for the horizontal angle of the inlet, e.g: "211,00/110/90". The inlet will be marked if the Mark manhole inlets... option is enabled. in the Settings window of the menu: Tools > Settings > Drawing > Longitudinal section.
Additionally in sump parameters window are showing parameters automatically calculated (read only):
  • [auto] Inlets - list of inlets/outlets of sump, also from other profiles in current project.
  • [auto] Height [m] - sump height
