When performing a constraint based design, the software suggests only conduit and inlet types that are contained within the Conduit and Inlet Catalogs. A new model starts with empty Conduit and Inlet Catalogs. You can populate the Inlet and Conduit Catalogs with pipes and inlets of your choosing, or you can open one of the predefined Templates we have provided. The templates can be found in the Bentley/SewerGEMS8/Templates folder. There is a template for US units and one for SI units.

You may also create new Templates and use those in future models. To create a new template, populate the inlet and conduit catalogs with the desired data and save the model to the template folder. To use the new template, simply open it and save it as a new file name to use it for a new model.
