# Creating Sewerage Network System

With **Node** and **Sewer** button, a sewerage system can be easily be modeled in MiTS.

## **Node**

![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image2.png?w=1080&ssl=1)

- Click on the “**Node**” button to input the manhole structure on the Input Screen
- Click once anywhere on the Input Screen to activate your cursor into input mode
- Then, users can start to locate the nodes on the Input Screen

*Example of* how the Node will look *on the Input Screen*

**Note: Object Snapping**

It can be called out either by Ctrl + right-mouse click, or clicking the “*Snap*” button. Users should ensure the necessary Snap Modes have been activated for a precise input.

*The “Snap” button is located at the right-hand side Input Setting Grid*

## **Sewer**

1. Input the sewer on the Input Screen by clicking the “**Sewer**” button.
2. To input a sewer, users have to connect one node to another.

1. Users are also able to input the exact sewer pipe length by keying in the desired length.
   - Click once on the Input Screen to activate the cursor into input mode
   - Click the first node and key in the sewer length

### Import Sewer Pipe from ACAD

Click Import, select the ACAD file, and tick only the layer that contains the pipe network from the ACAD drawing.

### **Import Drain with ‘z-values’**

Z-level refers to the invert level of the pipe. 

If the lines in the ACAD have internal Z values defined in the Properties, tick “Import Z Levels” checkbox to import the invert levels automatically.

*Once layer and settings have been configured, click Import at the bottom right corner*

### **Features of Sewer**

Users can (1) break, (2) extend, (3) map node to sewer and (4) add parallel sewer line, by selecting the sewer, and then right-click on the selected sewer.

#### **Break Sewer**

Users can break sewer pipes from one to several pipes by having a node in between.

#### **Change Length**

Users have the flexibility to change the existing sewer pipe length by shortening or lengthening the sewer pipe.

#### **Map Node to Sewers**

Users can map a node to a created sewer network by clicking “**Map Node to Sewers**“.

#### **Create Offset Sewers**

Users can offset parallel sewer pipes by inserting distance intervals.
