Although it is now invisible,
00:25
it will still be used to derive the ground

level for manholes and some of the stormwater controls.
00:32
Select the model to be digitized and then zoom into it,
00:37
click the plan tab and ensure that the snap mode is highlighted as being turned on.
00:43
Then in the toolbox,
00:44
ensure that the select tool is highlighted
00:47
and then expand the junctions node,
00:50
click manhole to activate the manhole object for placement.
00:55
Now click and drag a manhole from the toolbox into the drawing.
00:58
Hover the cursor over a point and when you see the manhole snapped to the point,
01:03
release the mouse button to place the manhole,
01:08
the select in manhole tools are still on so
01:11
that you can continue to place additional manholes.
01:15
Place manholes along the remaining points as shown in the design,
01:19
You can zoom in and out as necessary so that
01:22
you can ensure they snap to the correct location.
01:26
If you click accidentally and place a manhole in the wrong spot,
01:29
you can switch to the select tool then simply click and
01:32
drag that manhole back to the point where it should be
01:37
to ensure that it has indeed snapped correctly zoom
01:40
in so that you can focus on that object,
01:42
then click and drag it to place it precisely
01:47
notice in the tree view that as you placed each manhole
01:50
they were added under the junctions node in numerical order
01:54
you can rename them if you want by right clicking on the name and then typing a new name
02:00
for this exercise. However, leave them as the default.
02:05
If you have placed a manhole incorrectly and want
02:07
to remove it such as Manhole eight and this example
02:11
simply select it either in the plan view or
02:13
the tree view to highlight it and then press delete
02:18
as you are placing structures into your model
02:21
when you are finished placing all of them.
02:23
Best practice is to click the select tool from
02:25
the toolbox to stop the object creation mode.
02:29
This will keep you from accidentally adding too

It is very easy to add predefined storm drainage system objects into your surface model using the tools in the Toolbox. Best practice is to add the individual junction objects, such as manholes, and then connect them with pipe or channel objects.
In the Tree View, the manholes were added under the Junctions node in numerical order. You can rename them by right-clicking on the name and then choosing Rename.
