The one disadvantage of this method is that you must launch the Pipe Properties or Structure Properties command separately for each pipe or structure that you want to edit. This method provides extensive information about the pipe or structure, much of which can be edited to change the design. To use the Civil 3D method, you select a pipe or structure and then click Pipe Properties or Structure Properties on the ribbon. There are two ways to access the properties of a pipe or structure: the Civil 3D method or the AutoCAD method. All sanitary sewer networks have been merged into one therefore, only one sanitary sewer network is listed in Prospector.Įditing Pipe Networks Using PropertiesMany of the values that you need to change when editing pipes and structures can be found within their properties. Repeat steps 11 through 13, this time selecting Sanitary-3 in the first dialog box.Note that the Sanitary-2 network is no longer listed.
In the second dialog box, click Sanitary and then click OK.When the process is complete, a network of this name will no longer exist. Here, you are selecting a network that will be merged into another. In the first dialog box, click Sanitary-2 and then click OK.Click one of the sanitary sewer pipes in the drawing, and then click Merge Networks on the ribbon. Close the Network Layout Tools toolbar, and press Esc to clear the previous selection.In addition to the Network Layout Tools toolbar, there are several commands located on the ribbon and within a context menu that give you even more functionality. To launch the toolbar in editing mode instead of creation mode, you use the Edit Pipe Network command. The sump elevation of the structure is raised slightly, but Civil 3D will not allow the sump to be placed above the lowest connecting pipe.įigure 14.12 Editing the sump elevation of a structure using grips.Įditing Pipe Networks Using Editing ToolsAnother way to edit a pipe network is to use the Network Layout Tools toolbar, which is the same toolbar that you used initially to create the pipe network. Click the triangle grip at the bottom of the structure, and drag it upward until a symbol appears that is a red circle with a slash through it (see Figure 14.12).Click the Dynamic Input icon to turn off that feature, and then click the structure farthest to the left within the Jordan Court profile view.
