Introduced in Civil 3D 2013, Pressure Networks have been an options for everyone needing to model water distribution or other pressure networks. Choose the IDF curve, set the properties of the parts in the network, and then review the results.Īnalyze Gravity Network Swap Pressure Network Parts You’ll need to create catchments and assign them to the appropriate structures and then run the command. The Analyze Gravity Network command now allows you to run a HEC-22 Analysis directly in Civil 3D with your pipe network. In the v1 Enhancements, there are now tools to run a simple analysis directly within Civil 3D. Storm and Sanitary Analysis or Storm Sewers).

We’ve been able to compute runoff and flow in pipes for a long time with Civil 3D but we’ve always had to leave the program and open another (i.e. Property Sets Data in Labels Analyze Gravity Network The order we will use here is 1) Outside surface 2) Buffer surface 3) Inner surface. The order you paste them in is very important as whatever is within the border of the incoming surface will completely overwrite everything inside it. Select the surfaces you want to paste in. On the Prospector tab, expand out the new surface, expand out definitions, and choose “Paste”. I typically will create a new surface (see step four for the steps to create a new surface). I would much rather have the outside surface remain intact in case I need to use it for something else. You can past them into the original outside surface but I’m not a fan of that. Now, that you have done all that, we are ready to paste them all together. Select the offset 3d polyline and apply the breakline settings as desired.Īnd that’s it. On the prospector, expand out the new surface, expand out the definition, right click on Breaklines and chose, “Add”.Set any other settings you want (the style really doesn’t matter – I would probably choose something like, “No Display” if it’s an option). Name it appropriately (I would call it something like “ Pasting Buffer”.On the Home tab of the ribbon, on the Create Ground Data panel, expand out Surfaces, and select the first option, “Create Surface”.Create a surface from this object.Īgain, pretty simple but here are the steps.

Your new 3D polyline now follows the outer surface exactly and we’re ready for the next step. Select the surface and on the ribbon expand out “Extract from Surface” and choose “Extract Objects”.Make sure the surface you want to extract the border from is using a style that actually displays the border (you can’t extract something if the surface isn’t dislaying it).

You probably already know how to do this but, in case you don’t, it’s pretty simple.
