Sengna Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I was wondering if there is standard way for lable the underground piping for how deep they are? this is what i just came up with by just put the leader & text on the top of the pipe, but they get too crowded when i put 100 or more leader & text on the site map. I put the measurement on one layer "Pipe elev" and i can turn the layer on or off when need to. just wondering what is the proper way to do this in general?

Murph_map Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I used different line types. Maybe put the depth in the line, unless the depth varies to where you end up with boo-koo line types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i already had different line types for different pipes and legends on the drawing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It depends on the pipe. If that is a waster pipe or a gas pipe then I probably only care about the depth (and size etc) so what you have is sufficient. However, if the pipe is a stormwater pipe or sewer/sanitary pipe then the pipe would/should be on a slope. In that case you would want to label the start and end of each pipe. E.g upstream end is 10.25, downstream end is 10.12 etc. Be careful, there maywill be a drop through a pit if it is a stormwater/sewer pipe.

Thanks Organic, i just want to make sure if i am heading to the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
