Structures are typically used to represent things like manholes and inlets in your design. Here in this view, we see a manhole and up here we see a couple of inlets and if we pan a little bit to the north, we see an end wall. Structures are their own object type. If I click on a structure, right click and pick properties, for instance. You'll notice that structure is listed at the top as the type of object. So they're their own special type of object.
