JerryG Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 We are installing allot of Hdpe Water pipe and want to show the pipe with a Vertical and Horizontal curve as opposed to just straight pipe with bends. (plan view is easy) We know we can do it manually in the profile. Is there a way to get the Pipe Network to follow a Vertical curve in the profile? Quote
CyberAngel Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 As far as I know, Civil 3D forces you to run pipes between structures, i.e. straight lines from point to point. I'm not saying you can't have a curved pipe, just that I don't know how to do it. Quote
BIGAL Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Sounds like a 3d polyline question or a series of straights and arcs but with the arcs rotated about an axis 300mm rad 90 bend inclined 45deg to left, remember a rotated bend from plan view is shorter now if not 90deg when viewed in plan Could be done but not in civ3d pipe. it would be fairly simple to write a lisp to enter the details and "rotate3d" the object.
