Drawing

After having configured the SOLIDOS program, you can create device networks and for that, follow the following steps:

1. The first thing to do is create a network
   Use the command SNETWORK to create a network
   You can also do this from the context menu of the Networks node, from the Prospector tab
   
2. On the network properties screen, configure at least Materials List and Surface:
   
   
3. The network editing bar will appear:
   Note: You can choose in the edit bar:
   • Surface
   • Alignment
   • Profile
   • Consumer Sector
   • Material List
4. If the toolbar disappears, use the command SEDITNETWORK and choose the same network. If you already designed a device, click on it and then click on the context menu, the option Edit Network
5. If you need to change the reference alignment, you can do it in this editing bar. It will be useful later on to position the devices relative to the axis more easily. If you forget to set the alignment and draw multiple devices, use the command SSETALIGN, to redefine the device reference alignments, or the command SPROPS or the Properties Tab
6. Drainage Networks require Catchments associated with the devices.
   - To create the catchments, use the command SCATCHMENT.
   Note: that you will need to create a Catchments Group, where the created Catchment will be added. Consider naming the catchment group the same name as the network. This will make the project much easier.
   - It is possible to preset values for the properties (C, TC) of the catchments created in the node Settings / Options / Drainage
   - Catchments also have styles. Configure them for better visualization during the creation of the network, that is, leave hatching off, for example. You can call when needed.
   - You can have more than one Catchment associated with a device. In this case, for Designing purposes, weighted average values will be calculated for the C and TC
7. Pressure Networks and Sewage Networks require the association of Consumer Sector. To facilitate, configure a default consumption sector in the network properties, or change it via the toolbar, clicking the icon
