Create pressure pipe networks by layout

00:04

The two blue circles in the drawing represent the existing fire hydrants.

00:10

And we're going to draw a pipe network to represent the existing network

00:15

from surveys.

00:16

We've been told that the existing pressure pipe network has a 6 ft cover distance

00:22

from the existing ground level.

00:24

And we've been given the layout of the pipes represented by the dashed red line

00:30

to start drawing the pipe run.

00:32

We're going to right click on pressure networks from within the prospector tab

00:37

and click create pressure network by layout,

00:41

we can then name the pressure network.

00:46

Pick a parts list,

00:48

choose a reference surface

00:50

and add the 6 ft cover level.

00:53

We can then click OK. To start drawing the network,

00:58

we click once to start a pipe

01:01

and then wants to add a new joint.

01:04

As you'll notice you're restricted to the angles that you can draw pipes at

01:09

these angles are determined by the joints that you have within your parts list.

01:16

When we get to the curve,

01:18

we can type C and press enter which will then allow us to draw a curve.

01:23

We then click once to set the start angle

01:28

and we click again

01:29

for the end of the pipe,

01:32

we can then press s which will then allow us to go back to drawing straight pipes.

01:40

Once we've finished our pipe run, we can press enter to finish the run.
