Conduit Catalog Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to create, edit, and view catalog conduits. Catalog conduits are an efficient way to reuse common physical conduit definitions.

The dialog box contains a toolbar, a Conduit Catalog list pane, and two tabs. The toolbar contains the following buttons:

	New	Creates a new entry in the Conduit Catalog List Pane.
	Delete	Deletes the entry that is currently highlighted in the Conduit Catalog List Pane.
	Rename	Lets you rename the entry that is currently highlighted in the Conduit Catalog List Pane.
	Report	Lets you generate a preformatted report that contains the input data associated with the entry that is currently highlighted in the Conduit Catalog List Pane.
	Synchronize	Clicking this button opens a submenu containing the following commands: Browse Engineering Library --This command opens the Engineering Library manager dialog, allowing you to browse the Conduit Catalog Library. Synchronize From Library --This command allows you to update a Conduit Catalog that was previously imported from a Conduit Catalog Engineering Library to reflect changes that have been made to the library since it was imported. Synchronize To Library --This command allows you to update an existing Conduit Catalog Engineering Library using current Conduit Catalog entries that were initially imported but have since been modified. Import From Library --This command allows you to import catalog entries from an existing Conduit Catalog Engineering Library. Export To Library --This command allows you to export the current catalog entries to an existing Conduit Catalog Engineering Library. Connect To Library --This command allows you to connect the current catalog entries to an existing Conduit Catalog Engineering Library.

The following table describes the rest of the controls in the Conduit Catalog dialog box.

Conduit Catalog List Pane	Located on the left side of the dialog box, displays a list of all of the catalog pipes that have been defined in the current model. Highlighting a catalog pipe in this list causes the Cross Section Shape and Roughness Sections to display the associated information with the highlighted pipe.
Cross Section Shape	Located in the top-right corner of the Conduit Catalog tab, contains controls that allow you to define the size and shape of the catalog pipe currently highlighted in the List Pane. The controls that appear change according to the Cross Section Type that is selected.
Conduit Shape	Lets you define the type of cross section for the currently highlighted catalog pipe.
Diameter	Lets you define the diameter of the pipe. This field is only available for Circular catalog pipes.
Rise	Lets you define the rise (height) of the catalog pipe. This field is available for all cross section types except Circular.
Span	Lets you define the span (width) of the catalog pipe.
Power Exponent	Lets you define the power exponent for Power Channel conduit shapes.
Bottom Radius (Rectangular-Round)	Lets you define the bottom radius of Rectangular-Round conduit shapes.
Triangle Height (Rectangular-Triangle)	Lets you define the triangle height of Rectangular-Triangle conduit shapes.
Bottom Width	The width at the base of the cross section of the conduit.
Left Side Slope	The left slope of the cross section of the conduit.
Right Side Slope	The right slope of the cross section of the conduit.
Channel Weighting Method	Lets you select the channel weighting method to use for Irregular Channel conduit shapes.
Irregular Channel Table	This table allows you to define the following attributes when the Irregular Channel Conduit Shape is selected: The table contains the following columns: Station - This field allows you to define the cross-sectional distance at the current curve point. You can enter these in any order that defines the channel (e.g., from left-to-right, from right-to-left, with an upstream or downstream perspective). Depth - This field allows you to define the depth for the current curve point for the channel. The value here is relative, i.e. you can define it based on the bottom of the channel being 0 feet and the top being 1 foot, and it will perform identically as using the actual elevation of one endpoint for the bottom of the channel, and the top sides of the channel being the bottom+1ft. This value can be a negative number.
Availability	Located in the mid-right corner of the Conduit Catalog tab, lets you select whether or not the current conduit is available for automated design.
Available for Design?	When this box is checked, the current conduit will be available for use during an automated design run.
Roughness	Located in the bottom-right corner of the Conduit Catalog tab, lets you define the roughness attributes of the catalog pipe currently highlighted in the List Pane. The controls that are available change depending on the Roughness Type selected.
Roughness Type	Lets you specify which of the available roughness methods to be applied to the catalog pipe currently highlighted in the List Pane. The other controls available in section are dependent on the selection made in this box.
Material	Lets you enter a material label. This field is informational only, and will not affect the roughness properties of the associated catalog entry.
Manning’s n	Lets you define the roughness value for the catalog pipe. This field is available only when the Roughness Type is Single Manning’s n.
Depth vs. Manning’s Table	Lets you define a depth vs. roughness curve for the catalog pipe. This field is available only when the Roughness Type is Manning’s n-Depth Curve.
Manning’s vs. Discharge Table	Lets you define a flow vs. roughness curve for the catalog pipe. This field is available only when the Roughness Type is Manning’s n-Flow.
Library Tab	Displays information pertaining to the catalog entry that is currently highlighted in the List Pane, including: ID Label Modified Date Library Source Library Modified Date Synchronization Status
