Add and modify parts

00:06

In this video, we're going to talk about setting up our parts lists for our pipe networks.

00:10

So, now that we have set our parts catalog by going to our Set Pipe Network catalog,

00:16

and selecting our Imperial Pipe catalog and imperial structure catalog,

00:20

what you can go ahead and do is navigate to the Settings tab underneath Pipe Network, underneath Parts Lists.

00:27

And what you'll see here is there's three currently in the drawing: Sanitary Sewer, Standard, and Storm Sewer.

00:33

So, to create a new parts list, you would go ahead and Right Click on the Parts List folder, and click Create Parts List.

00:39

Inside of the Parts List Creation window, you have the information tab of what you're creating.

00:44

Then you have the option of pipes, structures, and then the summary with the information about what is included inside of your parts list.

00:52

So, under Pipes, to start creating a new set of pipes in your parts list,

00:59

what you're going to go ahead and do is Right Click on the New Parts List and Add Part Family.

01:03

Inside of Add Part Family, you have the options for choosing circular pipes, egg-shaped pipes, elliptical pipes, and rectangular pipes.

01:10

And these folders correlate with the folders inside of your catalog.

01:13

So, if you want to add in specific types of pipes, you would go ahead and check the ones that you want,

01:19

and Civil 3D will show you what they look like over here.

01:24

And so moving on from here, once you selected all the pipes you want to use, you're gonna go ahead and click "OK".

01:31

And then you can expand down and see the types of pipes that you have available to you.

01:35

And then from here, you can Right Click on which pipes you want to add.

01:40

You can add a part size, and then inside of the part size, what you're going to do is you can choose which diameter pipe you want to use.

01:48

And when you select that based on the catalog information inside of Civil 3D, it will update your wall thickness,

01:55

it will also have your Material and your Manning's coefficient and all of your other information about the pipe inside of these tables.

02:03

So, once you selected your pipe size, you can go ahead and click "OK".

02:07

And then once you drop down into Corrugated HDPE Pipe, you'll see a 48-inch Corrugated Hdpe Pipe, which is what we added.

02:15

If you want to modify this 48-inch corrugated pipe, you could Right Click on it and click "Edit",

02:19

and then you can change the pipe diameter and go back in.

02:24

The only problem is that it doesn't update the title of what the type of part is.

02:28

So, once you go into here and "Edit", it will be at 8-inch diameter pipe, but it will be called a 48-inch Corrugated HDPE Pipe.

02:35

So, I don't recommend doing that.

02:37

If you didn't want this part and you were trying to get an 8, then I would just delete the part and then Right Click and add a new part in.

02:46

Go up to the pipe diameter, select the pipe you bend to choose and then click "OK" so that it is appropriately named inside of your parts list.

02:54

Same thing with structures. You can start with structures.

02:58

Usually when you create a new parts list, you're always given a null structure.

03:03

Basically, this is just so that when you create a network and you go part to structure creation method,

03:10

then you have at least one structure to work with, which is a null structure,

03:14

which is just basically a blank structure that allows you to call out what the invert elevation is that you're trying to.

03:21

So, from here, what you can do is Right Click and select Add Part Family.

03:25

You can choose a part family that you want to have added into your drawing.

03:29

You can click "OK".

03:31

And then inside of the parts list now, you should see additional parts.

03:39

So, we have box, culverts, headwalls, and wing walls.

03:42

So, you can Right Click on that, add a part size, and select your information for your structure that you want to add in.

03:49

Click "OK". And then that will populate a part inside of this parts list.

03:54

So, as you can see, it's very tedious to create a whole parts list all by itself.

03:59

So, I often find myself using the ones that are already created inside Civil 3D because we have sanitary sewer here and storm sewer here.

04:08

And then you can Right Click, "Edit", go into Pipes dropdown, select the concrete pipe that you want.

04:14

You can also always still add apart family, select when it's not currently in there and add those in.

04:20

But then you can work from here and you have all of the pipes already inserted into the parts list here.

04:28

And you can just edit it by adding additional parts as needed.

04:32

If you don't mind wading through lots and lots and lots of information,

04:36

there is also an option for creating a parts list with every single part that is inside of your part catalog.

04:42

You can do that by clicking on the create design dropdown and click on create full parts list.

04:48

And so by doing that, you will create a parts list with every single part that is inside of your catalog.
