Now You Know
Now that you have completed this chapter, you understand pressure networks and how they differ
from gravity networks. You're able to create pressure networks by converting objects already in
the drawing or by creating them from scratch using the layout tools. You know several methods for
editing pressure networks, including the use of grips, Plan Layout Tools, and Profile Layout Tools.
You're ready to begin creating and editing pressure networks in a production environment.
