I've been trying to get this effect of metal pipes for a website interface but i'm stuck ! i've searched for some tutorials but all i found were normal metallic pipes (straight) and/or none-metallic pipes...so i'm posting here hoping maybe someone can help me out... Code:

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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe idea goes like this: I want to animate a set of pipes where the top half of a pipe will become gradually transparent (invisible) in the middle of the animation, allowing users to see the liquid flow inside them.
So let's say we have an animation consisting of a total of 300 frames. On frame 100, the top half of the pipe will be at 0% transparency. On frame 101, transparency is at 10%. On frame 103, transparency is at 20% etc. This goes all the way until the transparency is at 100%, where the liquid is visible within the lower half of the pipe.
Can this be pulled off in 3D Studio Max?
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs 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.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy 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.
View 9 Replies View Relatedfind 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?

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.
