AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Pipe Network From Object

Sep 11, 2012

I have an alignment that I want to create a pipe network from using the "Create pipe network from object" command. I am able to create the pipe network, but it only places a structure at the beginning of the alignment. How do I get it to create structures at all of the vertices?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Structure Not Showing In Object Viewer

Mar 6, 2013

I've been using pipe network in Civil 3D for some time now and all I can say is I can't wait for them to rewrite it!

I've had acouple of problems with some of the default parts for the UKIE template which I have managed to fix manually but there is stil one problem I can't seem to solve. For some reason my type E manholes show up in plan and section but don't show at all in object viewer. I've even tried to create a new drawing and place a new network but again the same thing happens.

I've tried going into part builder, validating it and saving it, reload the catalog etc. just incase.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Pipe Network From Multiple Objects?

Dec 14, 2012

Can I create a pipe network from multiple objects?

For example, I have 10 feature lines that I want to use to create one pipe network. Instead of creating 10 pipe networks one at a time, can I create one pipe network all at once?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Rules For A Pressure Pipe Network?

Jun 29, 2012

I was wondering if you can create rules for a pressure pipe network similar to the rules that you can create for a pipe network.  I would like to create a cover and length rule for my system.  So far I saw that you can set a cover before drawing out the pressure network but I do not know how to edit that after the pressure pipes are drawn in.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Default Pipe Network Layer (Not The Structures Or Pipes The Network)

Dec 7, 2012

I am using Civil 3D 2013. I work in an office where we have a few different flavors of Autocad (LT, MEP, regular vanilla AutoCAD etc...) and versions (2010 LT, 2011, 2012, 2013).

For the most part there isn't much inter-office drawing coordinate that has to happen, but there is the occasional project where multiple disciplines (Structural, Mechanical and Civil Site) have to share drawings.

The specific problem I am having is when I share my 2013 Civil 3D drawing with a user using 2011 MEP. He gets the typical rectangle for the proxy objects (in my case, my pipe networks for sanitary and storm drain). We've tried downloading and installing various object enablers, but there doesn't seem to be one for a 2013 to 2011 scenario. So I setup my parts to be on layers that he can just turn off. HOWEVER... the actual pipe network (not the structures, parts, labels etc... the network itself) ends up on layer 0. For this specific project, I do the old (ssget "x" '((8 . "0")) search to select all objects on layer 0, add those objects to a selection set (pselect), then in my modify objects dialog I filter for pipe networks, then change the layer to something other then 0.

While this is a workaround that works for me, what I really want to know is if there is a way that I can change the default layer that the network (again, not pipes, structures or text, the actual network) so I don't have to use the workaround. Any thoughts?

P.S. It's killing me that I had to create a new Autodesk login and now all my AutoCAD "street cred" is lost

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Pipe Network - How To Trim Pipe That Pass Through Manhole

Also I "insert" manhole every 400' per local code requirements using the command "network layout tools; structures only. My problem is I couldn't find the tools how to trim the pipe that pass through the manhole. Please see attached pdf file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Labels

Mar 22, 2012

I have multiple profile views with a pipe network. In a number of cases, I have a pipe that extends to the end of one profile view and continues on the next. I can label the pipe on one profile but not on the other. Is there a way to add two labels to the same pipe - one label on one profile view and another label on the other profile?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Not Showing Up?

Apr 10, 2013

I have lost the ability to create a pipe network in a single drawing. Sorta. I can create a pipe network, and label it, and see it in my toolspace, but it won't display it for any style in any format. I can bring in a data reference and label those, but can not see pipe or structure outlines or anything to that end. I have tried to recover, audit, purge. I am at the end, currently creating the pipe network, data referencing it in, and then just drawing lines between the labels.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Labeling

Jun 11, 2013

I have a drainage model, the data for which has been imported from microdrainage into Civil3d (.sws file) .

The engineer working on the project is playing around with the Invert and Cover levels so I reload the same updated .sws file into my model almost daily expecting the information shown in the labels of the pipes and manholes to simply change. Instead mine seem to disappear and I have to relabel the whole network again.

This wouldn't be much of a problem because labeling only takes a few minutes but with this particular scheme, the client wants the labels shown in a box with a leader. When I relabel, the boxes automatically snap to the center of the manholes without a leader and i then have to drag each one away from the manhole to get the leader to show up.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network NOT Applying Rules

Dec 5, 2012

I'm creating a utility template.  Earlier in the day, I'm able to assign pipe and structure rules to a network and create the network based on these rules.  Within the past 30 minutes, however, it completely ignores the pipe and structure rules while creating the network.

I make sure there is a surface assigned to the network.  I make sure the pipe rules are set correctly in the parts list.  I'm using no null structures.  NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE POSITION OF THE MINUTE AND HOUR HANDS ON THE CLOCK! It's like the Civil 3D went out to lunch and forgot to tell me that it's going to lunch.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Parts Not Visible

Nov 27, 2012

I have a user having an issue with drawing pipe networks. When they draw the pipe, the structure is not visible. A label shows up, and the structure can be found in the prospector, but is not editable in the plan view (see attached image).

I have a feeling it may be an issue with our pipe networks parts list and pipe catalog location. We have found an issue with our install that defaluts our pipes catalog to our local drives, but our parts list were created using a network drive. Several users have had an issue creating pipe networks when this has happened. However once we switched the pipe catalog to the netowrk drive the issue was resolved.

When we changed the pipe catalog location, it did not resolve the issues.FYI - I have tried the basics (layers on/thawed, pipe structure style layers on/thawed, audit and purge).We are using Civil 3D '09.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Insert Structure In Pipe Network?

Dec 14, 2013

I am working on an existing Pipe Network.  I have a location where I have already placed a pipe and filled in the correct parameters for this pipe.  But I realize now that there is a concrete headwall near the end of the pipe.  So I was trying to insert the structure at the midpoint of a line I have created for OSNAP reasons so it would create the structure at the specified location.  The problem is when I move the structure to create at this location, the "Break Pipe Marker" goes away and only shows when I am at a different location along the pipe.  So I wanted to see if there was a command or feature to use to tell the software I want to place this structure at a specified location along this one section of pipe. 

I wanted to see what my options were.  I know I can grab one end of the pipe and move it to the location and then add the structure and pipe from there.  But I did this insertion under different circumstances and it broke the pipe into 2 sections while still keeping the same and adding a (1) after it, which is pretty useful when reading printouts and showing that this is actually one pipe instead of 2 pipes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Won't Show Up In Profile?

May 15, 2012

I am using civil 3d 2012. 

I have a network that I showed in a profile view and, to creat my proposed pipes network I simply copied the pipes and structures and used network split.

Now I have two networks, but when I project those pipes and structures into a profile they are not visible. 

If I check the profile view properties and look at the pipe networks tab, all the pipes are shown as drawn.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Data Shortcut

Jul 9, 2012

I have run into a problem with my Pipe Network data shortcut.  When I am in a drawing that is referencing my Pipe Network not all of my structures are showing up.  I confirmed this by going to the prospector tab/pipe networks/storm/structures.  According to the list It is obvious that not all of my network structures are making it to the new drawing.  I've double and triple checked the source drawing to make sure that all the structures actually exist and they do.

I've deleted the data shortcut and recreated it and still nothing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Not Drawing Pipes

Jun 18, 2013

I have a sanitary pipe network as well as a storm network. Now I need to extend the sanitary network one extra section. I go to edit the network, and choose the correct parts for structure and pipe from my catalog.

When I choose the draw; pipe only, structure only, pipes and structures it highlights like normal, and in the 'command' box it says to choose an insertion point. When I click an insertion point (either to an existing structure or a new place on the screen) the draw button that was highlighted becomes unclicked and nothing gets drawn. However this is only an issue when pipes only, or pipes and structures is picked. When I choose structures only It works fine.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate Cut Generated From A Pipe Network?

Oct 11, 2013

Is there a way to have C3D calculate your cut generated from a pipe network? I have a site with storm, sewer, and water lines. All of which are on 3 seperate pipe networks. I also have my finished grade surface established.

I know you can get the volume difference between two surfaces (EG&FG) but you would think you could do this for the pipe networks as well...
