Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013

Chapter 14

Pipe Networks

In this chapter, we will look at pipe networks (gravity-based systems) and pressure networks. First, we will look at the setup needed to use these networks successfully. Planning is a key part of the process.

In this chapter, you will learn to:

• Create an alignment from network parts and draw parts in profile view
• Label a pipe network in plan and profile
• Create a dynamic pipe table
