Exercise 3: Adding Parts to a Pipe Network

In this exercise, you will add to your pipe network by creating pipes and
structures that connect to existing structures.
Whenever you are laying out a pipe network, you have the option of
connecting to existing pipe network parts. AutoCAD Civil 3D gives you visual
cues when the pipe or structure you are creating will either connect to an
existing object or break a pipe to create a junction.
In the previous exercise, you used the Draw Pipes And Structures tool to place
structures and pipes simultaneously. In this exercise, you will add catch basins
using the Draw Structures Only tool, and then connect the catch basins to
network using the Draw Pipes Only tool.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Adding a Part to
a Pipe Network.
This exercise continues from
(page 635).
NOTE This exercise uses Pipe Networks-1B.dwg with the modifications you made
in the previous exercise, or you can open Pipe Networks-1C.dwg from the
drawings folder
