I am stuck with LDD 3 (2000) and civil design 3.0 as my company will not upgrade. I am lloking for some help from anyone who has used the pipes portion of Civil Design 3.0. I am trying to use it to design water, sewer and storm systems within a subdivision design and I keep hitting road blocks with things it doesn't seem to want to do. Is this a useless portion of the Civil Design package or can anyone help me.
I have problems when i try to run the storm system on a loop subdivision. what I mean is, on a loop subdivision the centerline road alignment intersectis itself. I end up with a manhole at the intersection which is forced onto the end of the alignment. Where this really causes a problem is in the profile drawing since the manhole shows up at station 28+76 yet is also located at station 9+00. when it draws the pipes in it runs a pipe from the manhole at 10+00 all the way to the manhole at 28+76 then back to the manhole at 7+00. this is bad. If anyone vaguely understands what i am trying to do and a solution to my problem or maybe needs a little more explanation, PLEASE help. I would hate to think Autodesk put out a program with useless sections to it.
Thanks for the help.

I know what you're saying, but I'm not sure how to work around it as I've never been faced with the situation. I'm thinking you may be able to "trick" it by creating two separate pipe runs out of it.

You might try www.theswamp.org for better help.
