Linetype for Storm Sewers?

[chulse]

What kind of linetype does everyone use for Storm lines? Do you use unique linetypes for each pipe diameter?

[lpseifert]

3 polylines, the middle is dashed2 with a width= pipe diameter

Thanks,
Is there an easy way to do this if the centerline already exists? OFFSET or a Multiline maybe? Does LDD have anything special on this?

[lpseifert]

Try this... I can't take full credit, I edited the RRL.lsp found here

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Hey that works pretty good! That will definitely cut down on time.

I use a few different ones, depends on the mood I'm in.

Most of the time I use a multi-line with a centerline of the pipe along with the inside and outside of the wall as shown. Other times I'll do like lpseifert says.

As I get better with Civil 3D and more involved with the pipes in it then I'll do them with the proper C3D tools, but until then...

[russell84]

any way you guys could expand this further and show me how to convert the initial polyline into a stormwater pipe but also into a dynamic block with a visibility option and able to change pipe sizes with just 2 clicks?

[Alan Cullen]

Hey, big ask. Looks like rustysilo has it all worked out, with cline and ID and OD for the pipes. Maybe he can point you in the right direction. As for a 2 click conversion, that may mean setting up buttons for different pipe diams.
