baldema Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Does civil 3d 2011 have the capacity to model a pipe network that consists of flexible pipe such as HDPE? I am doing a plan for a force main sewer system that uses 2",3" and 4" HDPE pipe and the only way I have been able to represent it in my profile view is by using straight pipe segments. I want to show a vertical curved pipe as it would be installed in the field. What am I missing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_CV3D Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 hey! Civil 3d doesnt have the capability to draw vertical curved pipes, the only way u can do that is to split it in short straight segments and gradually change grade for each segment to make it look like its a vertical curve. I havent tried for myself but there may be a chance that u can manage that by doing a vertically curved alignment by adjusting the curve in a profile and then create a feature line from this alignement. Then u give the feature line PI:s with about 1 m distance and create your pipe from this result. But im just guessing. Hope someone else can give som clarity to this!

SLW210 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 You need to start a new thread in the AutoCAD beginners section. This is the Civil3D & LDD section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
