The PDF export of a utility record is a deliverable-ready utility schedule: a branded cover, an architectural plan sheet of the network, and dual-unit tables of every run and structure. Export it from the Utilities tab — the export button (top-right of the inventory) → PDF. Like every export, it honors the active search and type filter: filtered-in entities are drawn in color and listed in the tables; everything else is kept for context, drawn gray. It's a Crew feature.
The plan sheet
Across the top of the first content page is a plan drawing of the network, laid out like a CAD title sheet so it reads at a glance and pairs with the tables below it. It's a scaled, north-up plan — the same layout you see looking straight down in the 3D view.
The sheet has three parts:
- Left panel — the drawing title and project, a legend of the utility types and structure symbols present, and metadata (drawing number, scale, date, CRS/EPSG, units).
- Center column — a north arrow, a headline figure (total run length in feet and meters, with run/structure counts), and a graphic scale bar.
- Plan — the network geometry over a building-grid backdrop.
How to read the drawing
Color tells you what matters. Filtered-in utilities are drawn in their APWA type color (blue water, green sewer/storm, and so on — see Utility Records). Out-of-filter context utilities are drawn gray. Everything measurement-related — gridlines, grid bubbles, dimensions, labels, the north arrow, and the scale bar — is drawn in a single indigo accent, and structure outlines are black, so the utilities themselves stand out.
Line weight and style carry the pipe data:
-
Thickness follows diameter — larger mains draw heavier. Mains large enough to show at the sheet scale are drawn as a to-scale double-line casing with a shaded fill.
-
A solid line is measured; a dashed line is record. Runs sourced from a field survey or a utility locate draw solid; runs imported from a DXF, GeoJSON, or other record source draw dashed, so surveyed and record data are never confused.
-
The casing hatch hints at material (color still comes from the APWA type):
Material Hatch Ductile iron (DIP) Cross-hatch Concrete / RCP Dots Steel / metal / iron Horizontal lines PVC / HDPE / other Diagonal lines
Structures are type symbols: manhole ●, catch basin ▪, valve ◆, hydrant ▲, cleanout ✚, vault ⬗ — filled in the APWA color (or gray for context), with a black outline.
The grid is your building grid. When the project has a solved coordinate tie, the plan is drawn in building-grid coordinates and overlaid with the project's real grid axes — lettered and numbered bubbles with dashed extension lines and dimension chains in US survey feet — so it lines up with the 3D top view and your control. Without a tie, it falls back to a plain projected-coordinate grid. The sheet auto-orients to fill the page.
Labels stay off the geometry. Each drawn run and structure gets a short label
— a run shows its ID with size and material (W-1 · 6" DIP); a structure shows
its ID and rim (MH-1 · RIM 30.5). Labels are placed automatically with leader
lines so they clear the linework, the grid, and each other. A run or structure
with a noteworthy condition gets a flagged callout.
The schedule tables
Below the plan are two tables listing every filtered-in entity:
- Runs — type, label, material, diameter, and length in both meters and US survey feet.
- Structures — type, label, material, and rim elevation in both meters and US survey feet.
Every linear value on the sheet is dual-unit — the scale bar, the headline figure, and both tables — so the deliverable works whether the next reader thinks in meters or feet.
