In this video, we're going to kick off our discussion of pipe networks and pressure networks.
00:09
Before we create anything in civil 3D,
00:12
we need to go over some basic definitions of specific entities that are associated with pipe networks and pressure networks.
00:17
These items are part catalogs and part lists.
00:20
A Civil 3D part catalog contains definitions for all pipe network parts that you can insert into a drawing.
00:26
It's organized into two basic domains.
00:29
One for pipe parts, such a cylindrical or rectangular pipes; and another for structure parts, such as head walls, catch basins and so on.
00:38
The catalog is located in a folder on your computer or a server where you access your Civil 3D settings.
00:43
It's not contained inside your drawing, kind of like all your survey user settings.
00:49
The parts catalogs do not reside in specific drawing. So, they transfer across the program as a whole.
00:54
Parts lists contain a set of pipe networks parts, pipes and structures that you can use in a pipe network.
01:01
You have parts lists so you don't have to navigate through the entire parts catalog looking for a specific pipe network part that you need.
01:08
You can create your own parts lists to suit the needs of each project.
01:12
Parts lists are unlike parts catalogs and that they reside in the specific drawing you're working in,
01:16
and do not transfer between drawings unless you copy them or have them as part of your template file, similar to description key sets.
