AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Display Vertical Pipes In Profile View?

Apr 30, 2013

How I have come to this question is through the process of trying to realistically show a hydrant in profile view. First off it it possible to create a completely vertical pipe in C3D? Also if you can, is it possible to show that in profile view? Basically, what I am trying to avoid is representing a fire hydrant pipe by creating some sort of custom cyclinder part in partbuilder. I have done this, but do not like the results.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipes In Profile Display - Size Changes

Apr 19, 2013

I've got a weird problem with pipes in 2014.  When I edit a pipe (right-click Pipe Properties) and make a change, when I press OK or Apply, the pipe SIZE changes?  It's still listed as a 300mm PVC, but it's being represented as a 410mm?  Look at the attached image.  The storm (green) shoes a 300mm pipe and 375.  The 375 is smaller?  The pipe style (as you can see int he image, is set to display the inside pipe walls.

Nothing is unique here about the pipe sizes, this is a stock pipe catalog. But the size doesn't really change, only how the pipe is drawn in the profile.  I've never seen something like this before.  It measures .418m instead of .3m.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipes In Profile Display - Straggling Lines

Sep 17, 2013

I have drawn in essentially a sewer pressure pipe (using gravity part network because I don't have time to setup the other) and I am using PVC pipe and null structures at the joints.  I created the pipe network from a feature line with verticies at the grade breaks and every 10'.  As you can see in the picture the pipes are lining up but I have these straggling lines on the profile.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipes In Profile View?

Apr 5, 2013

Is there a way (and I'm just missing it) to have a pipe from a pipe network only be shown 'cut-off', with the typical 'cut-off' shown on the profile view?  see the screen shot of sketch of what I'm referring to.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Single Line Manhole And Pipes In Profile View

May 31, 2007

I remember seeing an article or web cast on how to create a style to display a single line for a manhole. It may have been about using the parts create tool. But for the life of me, I can’t remember where I saw it.

Also I had created a style in C3D2007 to display the pipes in profile as a single line. This was done by drawing the flow arrow in a non printable colour over the top of the pipe.In C3D2008 this is no longer possible. So now what?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Self-intersecting Alignment - How To Show Pipes In Profile View

Feb 12, 2013

Run profile on a self-intersecting street?  The one I'm dealing with is a dead end 'P' shape.  Logically, there are manholes in the intersection of the 'P', and logically to me, these structures need to show up in two places in the same profile view.  Of course, C3D doesn't realize that I want a certain structure to show up twice, and I'm not sure how to communicate that information to it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parallel Pipes And Crossing In Profile View Disappeared

Oct 8, 2013

My colleague added parallel pipe networks and crossings to multiple SD profile views yesterday.  Today, he came in, turned on AutoCAD, opened the drawing, and the parallel pipes and crossings were gone.  The working folder had reset itself to nowhere so we reset the working folder and Data Shortcuts Folder, but that didn't bring them back.  We can go into the profile view properties<pipe networks tab and turn the pipes and structures back on and override the styles, but that is basically redoing everything we did yesterday.  Is there a way to avoid having to redo everything?  Is there a way to avoid this from happening in the first place?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Mark Items In Alignment View To Display In Profile View?

Dec 20, 2012

I was wondering if after drawing an alignment, creating a profile, and profile view, is there a way I can mark items along the alignment so they could show up in the profile view.  I am laying out a pipeline and want to have the profile display a marker for items such as tees, elbows, reducers and other items.  The marker I would like to use will be something like the vertical style grade break markers.

Also on a side note, as each of these items will have a different name, is there a way that I can add these markers and then have each one with a unique name?

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

May 7, 2012

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 :: Crossing Pipes In Profile?

Mar 12, 2012

I have two pipe networks and two profile views, one for storm and another for sanitary.  I would like to show the crossing pipes on each of the profile views.  When I select the profile view, add a pipe and change the style to crossing the style is change to crossing on the other profile view (ex. on sanitary profile view I set storm pipe 3 to crossing style, on the storm profile pipe 3 changes to crossing style and does not display).  Isn't there a way to display the styles for pipes different in each profile view?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Pipes In Profile

Sep 17, 2013

How to do profiles in Civil3D and I have created a profile from the surface utilizing a miscellaneous alignment. I have also taken one 12"RCP and made it part of a network along with the catch basin and manhole at its start and end. When I click "draw parts in profile" it places both structures and the pipe, but in reality only a portion of the pipe crosses the alignment. I'd like to only display portions of pipes that cross the alignment at a fixed width form that alignment, say 2' to each side of it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Data Bands For Pipes?

May 15, 2012

In order to have a data band at the bottom of my profile label the station and invert of my sewer pipe I just created a profile along the pipe and then have a data band in my profile that labels that profile.  I have that profile style set to not plot so this way I can leave it on all the time.  This is all fine and well.  I have labels every 100' that label the station and invert elevation but at times I want to label miscellaneous locations along my pipe such as a bend or something.  How do I add an addition data band label to achieve this?  Everything I have found only lets me have these labels at a specified increment set in the band style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Hatching From FG To Top Of Pipes - 2013

Feb 28, 2013

Is there a way for C3D 2013 to automatically hatch (with a style) in the profile view the area from the FG to top of pipes (Sanitary, Storm or Water). Currently we go old school with isolating the linework in the profile and hatching it manually. The interesting thing is the hatch still recognizes the grid in the profile view even though we've frozen the grid and other linework. AND we must put a line on the top of the pipe, or the hatching goes to the next "grid" of the profile.

Would be nice to get it to generate the hatch much the same way it does for the profile view with Cut area or Fill area or Multi boundaries.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Partial Parallel Pipes In Profile

Sep 6, 2013

I have a water and sewer line that run parallel for the most part. The sewer starts at 10+00 runs west and then turns north about 10+80 and parallels the waterline from that point on.

I want to show the sewer in the water profile as beyond and to reference the sheets to see for P&P information. This works fine.

When i go to show the waterline in the sewer profile it does not show up correctly it only shows up in the initial 80 feet of the sewer profile. Is this because the two alignments are not parallel with each other until that 2nd manhole?

See attached profile PDF.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linetypes For Pipes In Profile (Top And Bottom Line)

Requirement is to display pipes in profile with the same linetype ON TOP as shown in plan view, but bottom line of pipe must be continuous linetype.

Same problem as described here, 5 years ago [URL].......

I still do not see a way to control top and bottom pipe linetypes independently - using 2011.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Display Order Of Connected Pipes In Structure Label

Dec 29, 2011

A way to change the display order of pipes connected to the structure in a structure label? (plan and profile) Say you have a 10", 6" and 12" pipe connected to a structure, modeled in that order, so label would place them 10, 6, 12.  we would like the label to display the order as 6,10, then 12 without having to drag the pipes off and then having to re-input inverts.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipes - Label Entire Network Profile / Want Crossings Only

Dec 5, 2012

I have pipe crossings shown in my profile.  Only crossings (NO PROJECTIONS).  So many elipises.  I want to label them.  Setting the label style at the pipe network does not work (will not override whatever label style was assigned at the pipe creation).  I have accepted this (although it sucks).

Now, to get around it, I go Pipe>Add Label>Add Pipe Network Label.  Label type is "Entire Network Profile".  When I do this, it labels not only the crossings but all projections.  So I have a million labels chilling out in space, where I have no crossing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 Pipes Don't Displaying In Profile / Works Correctly On 2 Computers

Mar 23, 2012

We are currently using 2012 Civil 3D, and we have a issue with a drawing that not all the Pipes from the pipe network are displaying in the Profile, and even the pipe properties display box the lengths show up way too long and the stationing does not display correctly in this pipe properties box either.

The Big Twist is that we have 2 machines in the offices that will display the drawing correctly, in profile view and pipe properties display box has correct lengths and stationing. So we know it is not styles, etc.

Direct support has suggested we un-install all Autodesk products and reinstall them all again, we tried the repair, however this did not work. Any other way before we have to go through all this work, as we are looking a huge amount of downtime, and we do not think this is the issue. Perhaps a Civil 3D variable or Autocad variable is different?
