Lynda – Civil 3D: Designing Gravity Pipe Systems

Gravity pipe systems are a part of almost every civil engineering project. In AutoCAD Civil 3D, that means working with a pipe network, which represents the pipe and structure objects that form the basis of your systems. In these tutorials, Eric Chappell shows engineers and project designers how to use pipes and structures to draw 2D and 3D models of underground piping systems, such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and more. Along the way, he shows how to edit, split, and merge pipe networks; annotate your drawings; create detailed parts lists; and analyze the pipe network. Plus, learn how to view and edit pipe network in profile view to achieve more accurate designs.


Topics include:
Understanding structures, pipes, and parts lists
Creating pipe networks
Creating pipes and pipe structures
Drawing a pipe network in profile view
Editing structures and pipes with grips
Swapping parts
Splitting and merging networks
Editing pipe networks with properties and panoramas
Controlling the display of pipe networks
Annotating pipe networks
Creating and managing a parts list
Analyzing a pipe network
