We want that building drainage to also make its way to the pond. What we want to do is place a manhole right here, and then connect that manhole to this inlet. Because of the advanced tools of Civil 3D this is actually really easy to do. I'll click the inlet, I'll click Edit Pipe Network, I'll choose the correct structure, and I'm going to use this 48-inch concentric structure, it's a manhole. My pipe size is 15 inches, that's good, and I'm just going to go up…
