AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pressure Pipe Deflection In Profile View

Feb 7, 2013

I created a pressure pipe with no bends since my alignment is fairly straight. However, I'm changing the elevations on the pipe using a combincation of the profile view snaps and elevation edits in the properties and it doesn't restrict my deflection to my deflection settings not does it add any bends.

Is this still a missing function in Pressure Networks? Or is there something I'm missing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Remove Deflection In Pressure Pipe In Profile View

Dec 9, 2013

I clicked on a pressure pipe in profile view and selected "Edit Pressure Network in Profile...". The panel that came up has a button that says "Follow Surface". I did that and selected all of my pipe and entered 4 feet below surface for my water main and it put alot of deflections in my pressure pipes. How to remove the deflections?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Curved Pressure Pipe Straightens After Profile Creation

Aug 22, 2013

I created a pressure pipe network with curved pipes.  After I created the profile and told the pipe to follow the surface, all of my curved pipes had turned into straight segments.  I wasn't able to convert them back to curved.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Diameter In Profile View

Feb 4, 2013

As it stands, if you view a pipe network in a profile view with no vertical exaggeration, you expect to see what is essentially an accurate long section in all directions.  However, rather than being applied perpendicularly from the center line (or arguably the invert), diameter is applied strictly vertically.

Now, this made sense in the days of hand drafting when it was far easier in a vertically exaggerated profile view to simply measure the dimension vertically rather than determining how the exaggeration affects the perpendicular distance.  But with the computer doing the measurements, is this really a problem anymore?  I've debated that to some degree it's strange to consider that the crown of the pipe may be at a (slightly) different station than the invert, but this is simply fact in the field.  And I've also thought that it's nice to be able simply measure vertically in an exaggerated profile, but I can't remember the last time I dug my scale out of the drawer.

All the theory aside, the real problem appears when you try to profile a vertical, or even a near-vertical, pipe.  The fact that the diameter is applied vertically means that the vertical centerline is shifted the length of the pipe radius downward and upward.  In other words, rather than seeing the invert and crown of the pipe, you just see one line, though it's really two lines on top of each other.

I wrote this off for the last 4 years of basic Pipe Networks because I acknowledge that storm/sanitary outside the building is rarely designed vertically, but with 2013's release of the Pressure Pipe Network, I really expected Autodesk to change the way the profile views represented pipes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Perpendicular Pipe In Profile View?

Dec 9, 2013

I have my alignment running up the page, it is the red line. I can show the profile of the  pipes and structures that run with the alignment but I want to she the elevations of the crossing pipes, not just the circle in the structures where they cross but the elevation of the crossing structures and pipes, (str 102-103 and 104-105). Almost like a profile that is cut and looks north (up) instead of the cut looking east west.Can I turn my profile view or take a view at a certain station or do I need to make alignments that run east west to do this? I have included a pedicure for reference.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Structure Not Correct In Profile View

Sep 6, 2013

Every structure for my Sanitary pipe network is showing up properly in the profile view except the last 2.  They're showing as rectangles when they should have the cone on top.  I've checked the properties of the correct ones and the incorrect ones and they're the same style.  I looked at the parts and I couldn't see anything wrong with them.  In the screenshot you can see that the 3 manholes on the left are the correct kind with the cone whereas the 2 on the right are just rectangles.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Structure Won't Show Up In Profile View

Feb 22, 2012

I've been having a problem with a pipe structure not showing up in a profile view.  I have a single pipe network with everything (pipes and other structures) showing up in the profile when I select them, right-click, and click on "Draw Parts in Profile".  Like I said, this works for all the other pipes and structures in the profile except one.  When I select the structure individually and try to draw it into the profile, it still won't work.  A friend told me to make sure that the structure is within the surface, and it is.

I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network - Crescent Road - Profile View

Jul 30, 2011

If I have a Crescent Road (P - shape) where the Alignment returns to itself, when i draw pipe network parts in profile, the pipe network gets drawn wrong, ie. the tie-in structure at the intersection is drawn at the wrong station.

My understanding is that the structures will get drawn at the station closest perpendicularly to the alignment, so the structure is going to the end station as opposed to the beginning simply because the end segment of the alignment is closer.

Is there any way to make a structure use a different perpendicular station (without shortening the alignment)?I don't want to move alignment or structure.

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 :: New Part Builder Pipe Displays Incorrectly In Profile View?

Dec 31, 2013

Using part builder, I created a new pipe part for an odd-sized CMP arch pipe.  In plan view, the pipe looks good.  At first glance, I thought the pipe was drawn correctly in a profile view, but I realized that the pipe was displayed with the invert located at the wrong place in the profile view.  I thought this was because the insertion point of the new pipe part that I had made was placed at the incorrect location in part builder.

So, I swapped out the incorrect pipe size for another one that I knew was correct, and then deleted the incorrect pipe from the pipe parts list, and  went back to part builder, and placed the insertion point at the invert of the pipe; then saved the edited pipe part, ran partcatalogregen, added the "corrected" pipe part to the pipe parts list and swapped in the new corrected pipe size to the pipe network.  However, the pipe still displays incorrrectly on the profile view.

The pipe data is correct in the pipe properties: the invert is stated to be located at elevation 20.  The overall height of the pipe , 38" (3.1667') is correctly displayed on the profile view.  But the actual location of the pipe invert is not shown at the correct location, elevation 20, on the profile view.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Assign Pipe Network To Profile View Band In 2011

Mar 21, 2013

I'm trying to add assign a Pipe Network to a profile view Band in Civil 3D 2011. I was using COM to add profiles to bands because I couldn't figure out how to do it in .NET. But when it comes to pipe networks I don't see how you can do that with COM. How the .NET implementation is supposed to work? Here's the code I have that works for COM, except for the pipe networks. I essentially need to assign the correct pipe network to the band.
 
public static void AddProfileToBand(this ProfileView profileView, ObjectId profObjId, List<BandItemInfo> bandStyleInfosFromSet, ObjectId profileBandSetId){
using (Transaction tr = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipeworks Pipe Styles - Display Setting Not Working In Profile View

Header says it all. For example, if I set a pipestyle to display the inside walls with linetype Continuous, it works ok in plan view, but not profile. 

When I select the pipe top edit its style (right click context menu), it is in the Profile View, but the changes are happening in the plan view.

Where I should set it to display how I want in the profile view?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pressure Pipe Content

May 31, 2013

I'm in the process of creating content for "pressure Pipe networks". I have created a number of pipes (HDPE, PVC and steel, sizes ranging from 20mm to 200mm). I have also created a number of Tees (Equal and reducing).

My question is.

If you draw in pressure pipe say 90mm ø and the insert a fitting say a 90x75x90 reducing Tee into the line. Then you wish to extend the pipe from the 75mm ø branch, it does not pick up it should be a 75mm pipe but defaults back to the setting (90mm) that you drew the original pipe line in, you have to change the default pipe type to 75 before extending the 75mm pipe from the Tee.

Below I have included a couple of screen shots.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pressure Pipe Alignments

May 1, 2012

Loving Pressure Pipes so far, taking us a bit to get them setup to work the way we want.

Using Pressure Pipes to design two water mains, the first main is a straight run, and the second one starts off of a Tee that I added to the first. This part seems to be working fine, now when I go back and use the Create Alignment from Pressure Network to create the alignment for the first main everything seems fine, but the second one is where I am running into my problem. When creating it, if I don’t select the Tee that I used as the starting point the two alignments don’t intersect, however if I do select it something crazy happens, my start point for my second alignment snaps to 0,0 instead of the Tee. I have tried a couple of different times with both Tees and Crosses. I get a little bit of a different result with Crosses, if the cross is the start Point of the alignment it behaves the same as a Tee, snapping to 0,0, however if the alignment goes through the Cross it is created correctly.

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 :: 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 :: Pressure Pipe Data Reference

May 4, 2012

I was so excited to hear about the new pressure pipe networks that I had to get into the software.  What I have found is both promising, and a little bewildering.  The promising aspects are that the pressure pipes appear to act and function effectively, and in a manner consistent with real world design that is easy to understand and use.  Kudos to Autodesk!  

That being said, I do have a couple of complaints.  First, the pre-loaded fitting and appurtenance libraries are very limited when it comes to sizes and materials that are more commonly found in the land development arena I work in (8" PVC is our bread and butter).  Hopefully, additional resources are forthcoming - they usually are.

Second, and more importantly, I can't figure out a way to data reference a pressure pipe network. If we can't data reference the pressure pipe network, then we really can't use them at all, which would be very disappointing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: New Pressure Pipe Parts Not Working

Apr 26, 2012

I want to create some custom parts, but before I can even get that far, every time I create a new pipe it doesn't work in cad. I want PVC at the end of the day, but I tried to create 3" ductile iron with all the same options as the other pipes in the catalog and it won't draw in CAD. It will let me add the pipe size to the parts list and I can select it when I try to draw the pipe, but when I click in the drawing it goes to 0,0 and won't add any pipes to the drawing.
