kind of library from which you can select parts for the different components in
your pipe network. Most companies have several parts lists, each one containing
parts for a certain type of system such as storm, sanitary, or water. Parts lists
can be stored in a template file so they are available in each new drawing that is
created from that template. Figure 14.3 shows an example of a very basic parts
list that would be used for storm sewer design.

Creating Gravity Pipe Networks
Gravity pipe networks can be created in two basic ways. The first is to create a
pipe network from one or more objects that have been drawn beforehand, such
as lines, arcs, or a polyline. With this approach, all the pipes and structures are
created at once. The other approach is to create the pipes and structures one by
one. This is referred to as creating a pipe network by layout.
