When creating a gravity pipe network in Civil 3D, if you have not sketched the pipe design,
00:09
or if you want more control of the design as you go, you can use the Pipe Network Creation Tools.
00:15
From the Home tab, in the Create Design panel, click Pipe Network and select Pipe Network Creation Tools.
00:23
In the Create Pipe Network dialog, add the following information for this example:
00:29
Network Name: Network 2
00:31
Network parts list: [C] Storm Sewer
00:35
Surface name: Select a surface to connect to the pipe network. VO-SM
00:41
Alignment name: Select an alignment to connect to the pipe network. LONG CT
00:48
Structure label style: [C-Plan] Storm ID [0.08]
00:55
Pipe label style: [C] Storm [0.08]
00:59
Click OK.
01:01
In the Network Layout Tools dialog, select a structure and a pipe from the catalog lists:
01:07
For structure, choose the 24x24 inch Rectangular Structure
01:12
For the pipe, choose an 18 inch Concrete Pipe
01:17
Lay out your network from upstream to downstream using the Pipes and Structures command.
01:25
In the Toolspace, open the Prospector tab.
01:29
Expand Pipe Networks > Networks, and then the pipe network name.
01:35
In this example, Network 2 is selected.
01:38
This displays the structures and pipes you just created.
01:43
Use the Object Viewer if you want to look at the network in 3D.
