We are looking for a workflow where the Sump depth value can be set to the thickness of the "largest pipe" connected to a node. When the user places a node, if there is an option to set the sump depth to the thickness of the pipe, then it would automatically apply the sump depth and model the inverts accordingly. Most of the Drainage structures are manufactured with the sump depth value to fit the pipe thickness in the wall of the structure. Currently, there is an option to enter a fixed value for sump depth, but our client requires the thickness of the pipe to be considered.

We have added functionality for this in the 2025 release of the Civil products, as shown in this YouTube video. Some of the functionality existed in prior releases, but the ability to reflect how the conduit invert and wall thickness is shown in the profile model is new for this release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nln4HWzgm0U&list=PLOMh7B_-fX0zws0VwDFGM6RQ4YPvkOXo5&index=7
