AutoCad 3D :: Pipes Won't Go Through Each Other
Jul 20, 2012
I've managed to reproduce it in 3D using AutoCAD 2007 (attached). I need to know what the cross section or the intersection ends of the pipes are. I'm planning to print the view paste it on an actual pipe and have it cut (sort of like sheet metal development). These pipes won't go through each other but be welded instead. I also have downloaded LITIO software to aid me in getting the development views but I am not sure if the angles I enter are correct due to the complexity of the design.

I am a mech design fellow designing mech parts like coupling, brackets etc.. recently i am tasked to draw pipes.. just pipes with 2 or 3 bends at different angles / axis..
so your assistance needed is in ..
(a) how to draw pipes with bend angles in 2d and dimension them..
(b) if possible, pl give some sample dwg files.

Take a look at these two pipes and let me know why they each have a different mass when they can be overlayed and appear the same?

I've been able to publish and then import valves, flange adaptors etc. with no problem, but if I create a flanged (metric) pipe using the Content Catalog Editor and then draw the pipe in C3D it shows blank ends, no flanges. I've split the pipe in the drawing to see if that forces flanges to appear, but nothing.
Do I need to create the flanges seperately and then add them to the end of pipes?

I am modelling a sewer pipe network in SSA. At some stages we use varies pipe materials with different wall thicknesses. So I want to know how can I assign inner diameter of pipes in SSA so I just deduct wall thickness from pipe diameter and then assign it to the pipe. Or is there any possibility to make a pipe list with specific properties like part builder in civil3d?

I have a 8'x7' Box culvert with manholes. The manhole needs to sit on top of the 8'x7' boxes. I also want to see the pipe drawn from center of manhole to center of manhole. not stop at manhole wall.

What the best way to draw multiple parallel pipes that cross a corridor. In my example I have a track with 4 pipes crossing the track corridor on slightly different alignments (from perpendicular to skewed). I have drawn the pipes on as individual pipes under the same network.
However I cannot get them all to display on the profile. I have tried "Draw Parts in Profile" but it seems to bring up only 1 pipe. managing multiple pipes.

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?

I have a profile with a couple of pipe networks in it. One of the pipes shown extends beyond the edge of the profile at some crazy angle. look at the picture for a better explanation.

When I try to make a pipe network the structures are visible but the pipes are not present. I thawed all layers with no success. This is a recent development because It was working last week.

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.

I have a number of tables which have all properties about the pipe network with the cooridnates and upstream/ downstream info. Can it import to C3D and automatically generate the pipe to 3D?

I'm a bit of a Civil 3D newbie. I've got a project that involves addition of storm drain to existing storm pipes. I'd like to be able to use Civil 3D to include existing and proposed pipes in the networks, but be able to show existing pipes differently than proposed pipes on plans and profiles, i.e. screened. I can't seem to figure out a way to do this--I can effect changes to all networks, but not invididual pipes.

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.

why I can't label certain pipes/structures? I can select the pipe or structure, rt click, add label and I get nothing. The layer is on cause I can see other labels. I also get the same result when I go to annotation, pipe label. This only happenes to certain pipes or structure, others in the same network label fine.

find the attached picture with sample blocks. If there is only bottom main pipe, there is no problem I can find the loads from a excel file and size the pipes, but when there are sub branches like a treeview how can I do the sizing?
The user will select the main pipe at the bottom and the program will find all branches linked to it and find all blocks linked to the sub branches and start summing the pipe diamaters from the outermost to the nearest.

i am using autocad civil 3d 2013 for modelling water pipes ,unfortauntley it can't do hydraulic calculation and if you do this calculation in any other program you won't be able to visual this information in section view ,
i wonder if autocad map 3d can do this in any way

how easy is creating pipes in sketchup I desided to try the same technique in plain Autocad (not MEP or PLANT).So, this is where I get confused. I am starting to draw a polyline, (which will be used as a path in extrude command for circle) but I cant to raise it in Z-axis. I need to change the ucs and then I can do it, which is an extra, and always confusing) step which I am trying to avoid. Also, I've tryed to use 3Dpolyline but it seems that I cant fillet it (elbow creation).what is correct proccess to create 3d pipes in plain Autocad?

How can I take simple measurements from the pipes on the image? Diameter, radius of bends etc? I realize I can export the pipe into Inventor and do it that way but I would rather learn how this is done in CAD.

I received some dwg files to show existing utilities from a local municipality. I thought the files would come as shp files, but they are dwg files. The drawings/dwg files show the layout of pipes, but the pipes are polylines. The polylines have data attached to them. The properties show material, size, length, slope, etc. I am trying to label the pipes/polylines and I can't figure out how to get the information from the polylines.

Back in 2010, I created several optional properties in pipes for labeling purposes.
The file I modified is: AeccPartParamCfg.xml
I have migrated this file to 2011, 2012, 2013 without any issue. In 2014, I am getting a run time error for one of the optional properties and therefore that option is no longer working.
Created optional properties and run into problems in 2014? Works fine in all my previous releases of Civil 3D using the same parameter file.
Attached is the Parameter file and error at start up.

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.

I have been unable to attach two pipes to a headwall. Tried to make the headwall wide enough but each pipe still overlapped. My current work around is to use two headwalls. Is there a way to get the double pipes with a single headwall? or am I stuck with two headwalls.

After testing a simple culvert and pipe, it appears that inlet control is not checked for pipes. Does this mean that I have to model all storm sewers in a network as culverts just to check inlet control?
