Click the copy button and then select the cell in pipe unit column with the <empty> label and
click the paste button. And a new pipe unit will be added to the profile. Follow the same
method for the remaining pipe units. This only copies pipe unit view data so you are required to
enter the elevation profile data for the remaining three pipes as given below.
