AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 Edit Pipe Networks Set Inverts At Inside Edge Of SDMH

Apr 26, 2013

I created a pipe network from a object (alignment wLpolyline) I want to set my inverts at the inside edge

of my SDMH not the center. I go into Edit Pipe Networks then the vista (table). I don't see a option to do that.

Is there a setting in the SDMH structure style or somewhere else?

As an example I come in at 6250.0 at inside a 48" MH and go out at 6251.0 at other side of MH.

I wanted to use a catch basin that shows the depressed curb & lip like the one in the Pipe Network Video

but it not in my parts Library even when I create a full parts list it still isn't there. Is ther a way to go on line and download part structures?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Raising Pipe Inverts

Jan 7, 2014

I'm drawing existing SD pipes and trying to put in rim and inverts of the existing structures. Sometimes it won't let me raise an invert to where it really is. It only let's me raise it so far. It may be a rule but it doesn't seem to be a rule I can change.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Edit Material In Pipe Properties 2012

Aug 5, 2011

I created a pipe network using Civil 3D 2011 and we upgraded to 2012 in the middle of the process.

I've always been able to edit the MATERIAL of the pipe for (I like to add class and type in this column)

It worked fine in 2011 as you can see in the first image.

But in 2012, the material changes that I added in 2011 chow up, but I can't edit them or revise them.

it causes me to have to label my pipes in the label editor instead of assigning the material property in the pipe properties with-in my pipe network.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Data Shortcuts Incorrect Inverts

Oct 10, 2013

I have a source drawing with a proposed surface, alignment, and pipe network.  When I data shortcut these objects into a new drawing, everything comes in correctly except the pipes.  The inverts are incorrect.  The pipes maintain correct slope, just the inverts on both ends are off.  The structures they are attached to have the correct rim and sump.

I have included a screen shot of the properties box for the same pipe in the source and referenced file.

I'm at a loss.  I have made sure the parts list and rules are identical in both files.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Duplicate Pipe Networks

Nov 28, 2012

Somehow I copied something and now when I open my drawing I have deplicate pipe networks with one being named something like Pipe Network and the 2nd being named Pipe Network(1).  Pipe Network(1) does not show up in the toolspace.  It has duplcated every pipe network in the drawing.  I deleted all the pipe but when I close and reopen the drawing it comes right back.  I've attched a pic.  The single line is the original, the double line is network(1).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Pipe Networks For Utilities

Jan 10, 2013

On a waterline that I am currently working on, we have existing utilities (gas, fiber, electric, etc.) surveyed and need to display those on our profile.  Typically we will determine the crossing locations and offset those x' below the existing ground.

The problem I am having is that in a mile and a half of waterline, there are 100+ crossings.  Creating a pipe out of each of those, applying the correct pipe type and display, naming the pipe network, etc, is too time consuming.  It's faster to draw them on our profile manually.  Also, with 100+ pipe networks, it slows down the drawing considerably.  And if we create data shortcuts, then we have to create a reference to 100's of pipe networks in our plan and profile sheets.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing Labels And Pipe Networks

Aug 15, 2013

On my drawings when I want to edit a label, I click the label, the ribbon changes and gives me options for that label, I click "edit label group" then a dialog box for that label style pops up and gives me more options.

Same drawings on another employees workspace, after clicking the label the ribbon changes, "edit label group" is selected from the ribbon, the command line then asks to pick a label you would like to edit even though you already selected a label. 

What is the issue here? Does a system variable need to be set to "1" instead of "0" somewhere?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modifying Pressure Pipe Networks

Jul 23, 2013

I layed out a pressure netowrk horizontally using 6" pvc pipe.  It includes some 45 degree bends and such and even some curved pipe.  Now the engineer wants to adjust the alignment in the area of the curved pipe.

First of all the modify area in the ribbon on the plan layout tools for pressure pipe is an absolut joke.  It lets me break a pipe (which deletes one end of it), move a pipe (but the attched pipes don't move), or slide a pipe (whatever that's supposed to do).

If I grip edit a curved pipe, this will not work.  The curved and tangent pipes will now no longer be tangent to each other and when laying out an alignment on the pipe itself, the curves will not work correctly when going to stake it out.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Networks In Cross Sections

Jul 24, 2012

I am having an issue with the pipe networks drawing the pipes incorrectly in the cross sections. Whenever there is a crossing pipe running parallel with a structure, the pipe shows as a large ellipse instead of showing the pipe walls.

Some of the pipes are not running exactly parallel with the sample line, but they are pretty close. I know in the profile view you can change a setting to make a pipe show as a pipe end or as a regular pipe. Is there a setting for the cross sections as well? If not how do I get the pipes to show correctly?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Networks - Connect To Part

Jun 5, 2013

I have a 18' x 10' special structure where I'd like to be able to connect the pipes as shown to the structure but I'm not aware of any way to force the Connection point of the pipe to the desired location along the structure.

Normal behavior is to connect all pipes to the same insertion point or center of structure.how to go about maintaining pipe connection orientation to reflect the design requirements?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pressure Pipe Networks In 2013?

Aug 2, 2012

So I wanted to put my existing 2d linework for a water main into a pressure network.  I have done quite a bit of reading about pressure networks and the lack of different pipe materials and apputenances to choose from.  It seems as though the fittings are all there for the most part.

The way I understand it is the only pipe material that is shipped with C3D is Ductile Iron and if you want PVC or something else, you open the content catalog editor and change the dutile iron pipe to polyvinyl chloride (PVC).  Am I on the right track here?

As far as appurtenances go, when I open up the Content Catalog Explorer there is nothing for hydrants, valves, wyes, etc......  Is the only thing I can show then bends?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Imported DEM File And Changes All Of Pipe Networks

Jul 19, 2013

I have been working on a site layout, and the engineers changed the final topo. I have imported a DEM file, and changes all of my pipe networks to reference this final grade. But all of the pipes I have placed do not reference this surface, but all of the networks do. Other than changing all of the pipes individually (which is what I have started to do through Pipe Properties) is there a quicker and easier way to have all of the pipes reference my new surface, and also is there a quicker way to apply my rules to this new surface other than the same way (through Pipe Properties changing my rules, and right click to apply rules).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting Pipe Networks To Setting Out Engineer

Jan 10, 2013

I have created a complicated 3D utilities model using pipe networks. All the clashes have been ironed out, the 3D DWF looks great when rotated, the client is happy. Now It is time to hand it over to the contractor to build. He hasn't got Civil 3D and isn't going to get get it. He either want's the information as an x,y,z, text format or a 3d polyline. I cannot see anyway of doing this with the tools available.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Networks - Invert Display Order

Feb 1, 2012

We are in the process of updating our pipe network structure label styles. The styles are displaying the inverts in a random order (Please see caption)  & we'd like to show the inverts in descending order from highest pipe as first text string & lowest pipe as bottom text string. Is there a way to globally tell civil 3d to always use a descending invert order? Only fix we've found is to disconnect & reconnect the parts in order to adjust invert order.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Labeling Pipe Structure On Profile With Multiple Networks?

May 7, 2013

I have an existing pipe network and a proposed pipe network.  When I label a structure in my profile view, how do I combine the different network information?   (Or do you usually have one network for both proposed and existing?)

For example, I have an existing pipe that will remain, but I will replace the structure and connect it to new pipes.  On my label, I want to label proposed structure, pipes, and existing pipe using italics.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 Pipe Networks Reference Surface Amended

Sep 9, 2013

I have designed a pipe network in Civil 3D 2013, first I created a rule set for both structures and pipes, then I created a parts list, next I built my network.

Where more than two pipes connected to one structure, I found 'applyrules' couldn't align everything appropriately, so I had to manually amend the levels in 3D to ensure the pipes connected correctly (soffit to soffit / top invert to top invert).

My problem is that after doing all this, the surface model has been amended! I have changed the reference surface in the network properties and in the vista. The rim height of my structures seems to have been adjusted in the most part but my pipes have not.

In areas where the surface has gone down, my minimum cover is violated. Is there a way to move the pipes back down to minimum cover, without using 'applyrules', as using that command would change the gradients to the minimum, some gradients have changed during my manual adjustments.
 
Furthermore, where the surface model has reduced in level significantly, my pipes are now above the surface and the manhole has stayed there too.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Wall Thicknesses For Pipes In Parts Lists In Pipe Networks

Dec 24, 2013

How Autodesk came up with the wall thicknesses for pipes in their parts lists under pipe networks in Civil 3D? I found that for DIP the wall thicknesses for pipes was way greater than anything commercially available; and that for PVC the wall thicknesses were way thinner than what's commercially available.

Are most client's modifying these lists to conform to pipe specifications or ignoring these discrepancies?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Combine Pipe Networks From Separate Files Into A Single File

Jul 16, 2013

I need a way for 2 users to work on a pipe network at the same time.  I was thinking about creating Data Shortcuts, but I’m looking for a better way to accomplish this.  For example, can I export a pipe network created by another user into a master file? (which contains all my networks consolidated together).   I want to work on one part of the network while another user works on another part of the network then combine into a single file so that I reference everything into our P&P sheets.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Ends Inside Of DI In Profile

Jan 8, 2014

I'm working in Civil 3D 2012 and I have an alignment going through 3 DI's and a MH. When I say to draw this in profile view the pipes end inside the DI sometimes. Not at the middle but inside it even though my DI has a near 0 wall and floor thickness. The place where the pipe ends is where the edge of the DI should be but it is being shown outside that for some reason. What can I do? I inserted an image. The piece that I drew that is supposed to be a DI in profile view is rotated wrong.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Pipe Network In Plan

How can I edit (graphically) my pipe network in plan view without losing my elevations every time I move a node? Every time I move a node I have to re-enter my invert elevations. Is there some way to "lock" my inverts? It may be useful to know my pipes have no structures linking them (water line).
