Place a pressure pipe network in a profile

00:05

Now that we've created our own pressure network in plan view,

00:08

we're going to go ahead and take that pressure network and project it into a profile view.

00:13

In order to do that, what we're going to go ahead and do is navigate to our Prospector tab in our Tool Space.

00:19

We're going to expand out our Pressure Networks and we're going to Right Click on Dev_H2O, and choose the Select option.

00:26

Once we selected the entire network, what we're gonna go ahead do is Draw Parts and Profile.

00:31

So, Civil 3D is going to prompt us to select the profile view.

00:35

So, we're gonna go ahead and select the profile view that we want to place this network into.

00:41

We want this into this network here because it's associated with our sewer line that our pressure network kind of follows along with,

00:50

and it's associated with our design alignment.

00:52

So, we're gonna go ahead and place it in this profile view.

00:55

So, once I do that, what you can see here is that we have a pressure network place,

01:02

that has some minimum cover conditions probably right in about this area here and then maybe in this area right here.

01:11

And so if these were not acceptable and you needed to modify these, you can modify them just like you did with your pipe networks.

01:19

You would go ahead and select the pipe or the fitting that you want to modify and then go to your Pressure Pipe Properties.

01:27

And inside of the Properties, you have all of the options to change your reference surface, change your reference alignment,

01:35

modify your starting and ending northings and eastings, change your elevations of your start center lines, your end center lines,

01:42

your start invert elevations, your end invert elevations,

01:45

and then you can see all the other informations grayed out that's associated with the part time that you have selected.

01:52

In addition, if you wanted to, you could go ahead and go to your Dev_H2O, Right Click and choose Select,

01:59

and then you could go to Edit Network and Plan Layout tools, and then you can go to your Panorama window,

02:05

and you could see your tabs for fittings and all of the insertion and size information,

02:12

and your pressure pipes with all of its starting and ending elevations and locations.

02:18

So, I would recommend sticking with those two methods for modifying.

02:23

You do have the grip edit options again.

02:26

But just like we discussed for the parts networks,

02:30

pressure networks also tend to have a problem with grip edits because you lose the ties to the fittings.

02:39

So, if I was to move this fitting, I would lose the connection,

02:45

not necessarily because they're not tied to each other anymore but because they have gone past the allowable deflection angles.

02:53

And so the 90-degree bend doesn't necessarily work anymore.

02:56

I might need to switch out my fittings and that kind of stuff.

02:59

So, grip editing for pressure networks is not my preferred method for editing pressure networks.
