Tutorial: Changing Pipe Network Properties

This tutorial demonstrates how to add parts to your pipe network parts list.
You will also learn how to change the surface, alignment, and design rules
that are referenced when you are laying out a pipe network.
In the previous tutorial, the storm system parts you used were designed for a
roadway design and took their placement and elevation from the road surface.
In this tutorial, you create a branch for the pipe network that travels off the
road surface into unfinished terrain, using manholes to connect the pipes and
terminating in a headwall.
In addition to selecting different structures, pipes, and layout modes, you can
also use the Network Layout Tools toolbar to change the configuration of your
pipe network as you work. As you create your design, you can switch to a
different parts list, add parts to the parts list, or change the referenced surface
and alignment.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Editing Pipe Network
Settings.

Exercise 1: Adding Parts to the Parts List

In this exercise, you will add a new part to the parts list by selecting a part
family and size from the pipe network part catalog.
This exercise demonstrates how to access your parts lists from the Network
Layout Tools toolbar. You can also create, view, and edit parts lists using the
Toolspace Settings tab.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Part Catalog and
Parts List.
