Drawing a Pipe Network in a Profile view
Viewing a pipe network in a profile view is critical to performing an accurate
design. The depths, slopes, and elevations of an underground pipe system are
every bit as important as the horizontal location of each component on the plan.
Civil 3D enables you to represent a pipe network in profile view, which is the ideal
way to visualize and modify the vertical aspect of a pipe network design.
You can use the Draw Parts In Profile command to draw an entire network in
profile view or to draw select parts. When this is done, the pipes and structures
shown in plan view are the same pipes and structures shown in profile view. Any
change or addition to the pipe network will be visible in both views.
If you haven't already
done so, download
and install the files for
Chapter 14 according to
the instructions in the
Introduction.
