AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Invert Labels In Profiles?

Oct 15, 2012

I am trying to place my pipe invert labels at the actual point of the invert. When using the pipe label style composer, I have selected Anchor Point to be "Bottom Inner Diameter". Why is it that the label style still imports into the center of the pipe? No matter which anchor point I choose the label still inserts to the middle of the pipe. Is there a hidden setting that I am missing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Depicting Both Slice And Cross Cut Pipe Profiles Of One Pipe

Jan 8, 2014

One of the things I seem to struggle with is being able to depict a single pipe when it needs to be shown in one profile as a crossing pipe, and another profile where you you show a lenghwise slice through the pipe.  I end up tracing the pipe with eliptical objects where I'm cutting across the pipe and setting up more for the lengthwise/sideview of the pipe.  Is there a way to have two different styles for the same pipe, one for a cross cut and one for a lengthwise slice?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Removing Extra In And Out Invert Elevation From Labels

May 9, 2013

Is there a way to remove the extra (In) and (out) invert elevation from my labels? If the IN or OUT (I.E.) is the same there is no need to label them twice. So, can I remove them?  If you can remove them, how do you do it?

This is what I have

NEW CATCH BASIN A-11
TOP=427.30
I.E.(IN)=421.60
I.E.(IN)=421.60
I.E.(OUT)=421.60

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Set Height Between Invert Out Pipe And Rim Level

Mar 1, 2013

I need to know if there is a way (like an expression) to get de height between invert out pipe and rim level?

My question is about a structure with 2 or more pipes at different level and needed to define the height for each one to the surface level (rim level).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Invert Depth Band?

Jan 23, 2011

I'm currently setting up a band set and want to include a band "pipe invert depth" i.e. basically trench depth.

There are properites in the band label style composer for "pipe invert level" and for "cover" and for "pipe diameter" but not pipe invert depth.Is there a way to display the pipe invert depth relative to the reference (design) surface/alignment?

A secondary question to this is can you use basic arithmetic in the band label style composer? eg pipe cover + pipe diameter?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Find Invert Elevation Or Top Of Pipe?

Sep 7, 2011

I'm creating pipe networks to represent existing utilities and am still a novice of Civil 3D. 

I am creating sewer laterals that need to connect to the sewer main that I have already created.  My problem is that I can't find a way to find out the invert elevation of the sewer main at the specific point that the sewer lateral will be tying in to.  I no longer have an alignment or profile for the sewer main and I hope that I don't have to re-create them.  I just want to pick a point on the pipe and have it tell me that vital information.  Is there any way that I can do this in plan view?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Storm Drain Profile View Invert Labels?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Show Pipe Invert In Profile View

Jun 6, 2012

I cannot find a way to only have pipes in profile view to only show the invert (bottom) of the pipe. All my pipes are running around the same elevation and the profile is pretty busy with both invert and crown of pipe shown.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Profile Style That Shows Invert Only?

Jun 14, 2012

I'm dealing with a city that based their drawings on LDD, and they chose to show pipes as just one line on a profile, representing the invert line.  In LDD, they pretty much left their pipe profiles as "draft profile" or whatever is used to be called.  Now I have to mimic their standard, using Civil 3D.  There isn't a handy-dandy style setting that I can find, to do this.

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 :: Adding Pipe Network Invert Line To Profile View

Mar 2, 2012

We have a big piping job coming up and as Civil3d still lacks some of the labelling abilities we want in the profile view bands. I am updating some old vba that adds a profile line of the invert of a pipe network to a profile view effectively tracing along the bottom of the network like I know a lot of people do by hand.

My original code works on assuming that the start and end structure are at the start and end of the alignment in the revised code I want to allow for situations where this is not the case.

Leading to my question is there and easy way to find the distance a profile view part is drawn along the parent alignment or do I have  look at writing my own function possibly extracting a polyline from the alignment and finding the distance using intersectionwith and distancefrom functions with the structure.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adjust Invert Elevations Of Pipe Based On Cover Depth

Dec 20, 2012

Simple program that will adjust invert elevations of a pipe based on the cover depth.

I have a existing uitility maps that only label the the cover depths. I have to show these utility crossings in my profile views. I have different rules set up for various depths when laying out my crossing pipes in plan, but I need the ability to to edit the various cover depths  more quickly. I am using Civil 3d 2012 only.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Band Style In Profiles - Staggering Labels?

Dec 12, 2013

When I generate a band and the points that need to be labelled are very close to each other there is the possibility to stagger the labels (left, right, to both sides).

This works as I would expect it to.What I haven’t been able to determine is whether it is possible to adjust or influence the spacing between the staggered labels.

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?

How do you get pipes to show on the profiles when there is a side pipe from a different alignment that enters an inlet?

I went to Profile View Properties / Pipe Networks and checked the side pipe to draw and changed the style overide to crossing, but nothing shows in the profile.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Straightening Pressure Pipe Profiles?

Apr 24, 2012

I'm slowly getting familiar with the new pressure pipe tools. So far I like the layout compass but I'm finding the rest to be rather cumbersome to work with.

One problem I have is how to straighten portions of a pipe in profile after fitting it to a surface profile. Each pipe ends up segmented according to it's cut length property. Typically after fitting it to a surface profile we want to straighten the pipe between critical points along the profile. I don't see any way to do this aside from dragging each segment. Is there a way to remove, add or adjust the length of individual segments?

I don't see any other than the videos provided in the new features catalog.

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 :: Pipe Labels Display 180 And Mirror Image?

Nov 19, 2013

I created a project from scratch.  I created some pipe labels showing our companies arrow block in label the and set it to Grade Check.  It worked great.  It point in the downward slope and at the end of each pipe.  No issue.  I copied the label style to an existing project I inherited and did not set up.  In that project, certain variables for pipe and structure labels display  backwards or mirror image.   I can't figure it out.  I copy those  same structure and pipe labels to a new project and they display fine.

Also when I create a profile view the numbers for my vertical elevations in the profile are backwards (but plot fine).  The labels mentioned above do not plot fine.  I have also copied items from another project and they came in mirror image including the text.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Band - Spanning Pipe Labels

Mar 30, 2012

I was looking at placing pipe information into a Profile Band. I see that I can include the following properties in a pipe label in the profile band:

<[Total Slope Across Span(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[Number of Pipes in Span(GC|UN|Sn)]>
<[Drop Across Span(Um|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>

Only problem is they don't actually give me the information of a spanning pipe, only a single pipe. I see no way of choosing which pipes will be spanned. Am i missing something in the creation of the profile band that allows me to choose the spanning pipes or is this broken?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Labels Disappear In Section View

C3D 2009. I have a style that labels the pipe diameter in section view and the type of pipe. When I label the pipe everything shows up fine. Save the drawing and re-open and my labels are gone. I can see them when is opening but after it regenerates, gone. All layers are on display set to true. Tried too many different things and no success. This issue only happens in two drawings.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slow In Selecting Grips For Structure / Pipe Labels

Jul 15, 2009

I have a pipe network that has labels for structures and pipes. To be able to read the information better, I click on a label and try to move by the grip. The problem is that it freezes the cursor for approximately 10 seconds before I can move it to grip the label and relocate it to another place. Did I miss any setting. Since this is slowing me down in plan production.
