Adding Flow Arrows to your SSA Links

I am working with a citywide sanitary sewer dataset in Civil 3D (using the Map 3D tools) and Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis.

In SSA, I am trying to isolate a neighborhood in the dataset for some rehabilitation, but I was having a hard time following how the network was draining. I remember seeing an option for flow arrows somewhere…

1. Right-click anywhere in the background.

2. Choose display options.

3. Choose an arrow size and style.

4. Now I can follow the arrows and figure out where my sewage is flowing with a quick visual check.

Dig into some of the other display options to customize how you see your links, nodes and even the results of your analysis. More to come on this subject as I dig deeper- you know me and pretty colors.

In the meantime, I’ll be getting back to work- and also the other project I have on the go…
