Pipe long section

A section of a single pipe reach, showing surface, obvert and invert levels, other pipe characteristics and results of analyses, can be opened using the Long Section option in the pop-up menu for a pipe.

Greater amounts of detail can be added by specifying ground surface levels between pits and the positions of other services in the Survey Data property sheet.
