2 min read

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

Node #

  • 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.

  1. 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.
