Pipe Network Alignments and Profile View Generator 1.0.1

CAD MAN Pipe Network Alignments and Profile View Generator is an application designed for Autodesk Civil 3D that automatically generates alignments and profile views for pipe networks directly from an Excel spreadsheet. The tool significantly simplifies and speeds up the process, eliminating manual effort by requiring only three columns in the Excel file: starting structure, ending structure, and alignment name. The application then automatically creates the necessary alignments and cross-section views.

This application is especially useful when you have pipe network data imported from other software (e.g. SewerGems) as shape files (.shp) into Civil 3D. Using the application, you can quickly create alignments, profiles, and cross-section views for the imported pipe network. The Excel spreadsheet used can be created by reading an SQL database from SewerGems or similar software, making for a seamless workflow.

Features

• In the general Civil 3D workflow, creating pipe network alignments and cross-section views involves:
• Creating an alignment from pipe network components using the Civil 3D "Create Alignment from Network Components" feature.
• Creating a profile from terrain surfaces along the alignment.
• Placing the pipe network into cross-section view, where pipes and structures can be adjusted using the grip editing functionality to modify elevation and slope.
