Exercise 2: Creating a Pipe Network by Layout

In this exercise, you will create a pipe network using the AutoCAD Civil 3D
pipe network layout tools. The pipe network is associated with a surface and
alignment, and uses parts taken from a standard parts list.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Creating Pipe
Networks Using the Layout Tools.
This exercise continues from

1 Open Pipe Networks-1B.dwg, which is located in the
(page 819).
This drawing contains an existing ground surface, an alignment, and
existing ground and layout profiles for the alignment. It also contains a
surface exported from a corridor that uses the alignment as its baseline.

station 7+00 and 11+00.
3 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Pipe Networks collection,
then right-click Networks. Click Create Pipe Network By Layout.
Alternatively, you can click Home tab
Network drop-down
4 To select the surface taken from the corridor, in the Create Pipe Network
dialog box, in the Surface Name list, select ROAD1_SURF.
5 In the Alignment Name list, select ROAD1.
6 Click OK.
The new pipe network is added to the Toolspace Prospector tab, Pipe
