00:09We first need to create an alignment.
00:12To create the alignment, we're going to use the Create Alignment from Pressure Network tool
00:18that can be found on the Home ribbon under the Alignment dropdown.
00:23We then select the first pipe in the run and then the last pipe in the run.
00:30And all network parts in between these two pipes will then be selected.
00:35We then press Enter.
00:39We're going to leave the alignment name as default and change the alignment style to layout.
00:45We're then going to change the alignment layer to C-Water-Pipe
00:51and set the labels to major and minor only so that the drawing isn't overcrowded.
00:59We're then going to leave the Create Profile and Profile View tipped
01:04which will then automatically create the profile view for us.
01:08Then click OK.
01:10Then we'll see the Profile View dialog box come up.
01:13And we can add in the EG plus Road surface and then click Draw in Profile View.
01:22We're going to leave all the settings as default for the profile and click Create Profile View.
01:28We can then click once to place the profile view.
01:31We'll see you on the website.
01:31I'm going to take off our website.
