Drainage and Utilities Help

Configuration Variables

The following variables allow you to configure Drainage and Utilities as needed for your workflows.

SUDA_SEED_FILE =

SUDA_SEED_FILE (and SUDA_SEED_MODEL) config variables copy hydraulic seed data from the DGNLib to the active DGN, when a utility project is created. See the "Hydraulic Seed Data" topic for more details on what this can include.

As well as the other Hydraulic Seed data, this DGNlib may also contain UDX data and the iModel configuration settings. When you run these tools, you are asked whether you want to define them for "Utilities" or "Drainage". If you choose "Drainage", then the UDX data and the iModel configuration settings will be stored in the SUDA database, and will be copied from the SUDA_SEED_FILE DGNLib to the active DGN when a utility project is created.

SUDA_SEED_MODEL =

The model within the preceding seed file that contains the hydraulic seed data.

SUDA_DEFAULT_LICENSE

This variable is used to activate an OpenFlows license automatically when the Civil product is loaded. It can be set to StormCAD, SewerCAD, CivilStorm, or SewerGEMS (it is not case-sensitive). If a feature level has been selected, then it will be used. If a feature level has not been selected, then a dialog will be displayed so that you can select one. You can change the selected feature level using the Feature Level Selector.

SUE_SEED_FILE

SUE_SEED_FILE (and SUE_SEED_MODEL) config variables copy User Data Extensions (UDX) and iModel Configuration settings that have been set up using the "Utilities" schema, as opposed to the "Drainage" schema, from the DGNLib to the active DGN, when a utility project is created. When you run these tools, you are asked whether you want to define them for "Utilities" or "Drainage". If you choose "Utilities", then the UDX data and the iModel configuration settings will be stored in the SUE database, and will be copied from the SUE_SEED_FILE DGNLib to the active DGN when a utility project is created.

SUE_SEED_MODEL

The model within the preceding seed file that contains the hydraulic seed data.

CIVIL_SUBSURFACE_FILTERS_DGNLIBLIST =

Points to the dgnlib file which stores utility filters. These filters will be loaded in Utility Filters in the OpenRoads Standards tab in Explorer, and in the Filter Manager. Note that the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable must also be set to load this dgnlib file.

SUDA_ALLOW_3D_MODEL

Allows the user to create a utility project in a DGN if the active model is 3D.

SUDA_USE_HAESTAD_CONDUITS

Valid values:

1 = enabled

If enabled, the conduit sizes for hydraulic (storm and sanitary) conduits are read from the data in the Hydraulic Prototype that is selected for a conduit feature definition, which could point to a Conduit Catalog, or be for a User Defined Conduit. The sizes of non-hydraulic conduits (such as electric and communications cables and ducts) are still set in the Conduit Table in the feature definition.

0 = disabled

If disabled, the conduit sizes for hydraulic (storm and sanitary) conduits are read from the Conduit Table in the feature definition when a conduit is placed, and the Haestad sizes are used by the hydraulics calculations. This means that both lists of conduit sizes have to be synchronised.

The sizes of non-hydraulic conduits (such as electric and communications cables and ducts) are still set in the Conduit Table in the feature definition, regardless of the setting for this variable.
