Dimensioning a Pipeline


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've got a surveyed pipeline in Civil 3D 2010. After I connected the points with a 3D polyline, I want to get the slope distance between each point. Since the slope between each point is on a different plane, and there's about 130 different slope lines, I can't switch the UCS every time I need a slope distance.

 

Anyway, the only way I know how is to draw a separate 3D poly between each point and then find the length in the line's properties. Drawing a separte line between each point is obviously tedious and a little annoying.

 

Is there and easier way to do this? File is attached.

If you merely want to see the slope distance between each point, have you tried the Inquiry - Distance. That gives the 3D length amongst other info.

 

Or copy the 3D polyline to just alongside, explode it and then List each line.

Turn the 3D polylines into featurelines.

 

You can add line labels to display the slope. And anything else you would want to display.
