Click OK to exit the Edit Part Sizes dialog box. Lists of values are now
available for SRZ1 and SBH.
18 Save your part.
Additional customizations can be made to the geometry of a manhole
such as this one using the principles learned in the vault structure tutorial
exercise, as well as other part building exercises.
19 Exit the Part Builder utility, click the small X in the upper right corner
of the Part Browser. (The Part Browser is the left pane portion of the Part
Builder application window.) If you are prompted to save the part, click
Yes. Part Builder closes.

Tutorial: Creating a Drop Inlet Manhole Structure

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Part Builder to create a drop inlet
manhole structure. It will go through the steps to define the new part in the
structure catalog, define the manhole geometry, create profiles, and then
establish parameters to control the sizing and dimensions of the manhole.

Exercise 1: Defining the New Part in the Structure
Catalog
In this exercise, you will begin creating a drop inlet manhole structure in Part
Builder by creating a new part chapter, and a new part family within the
Structure catalog. You will also configure work planes in the Part Builder
parametric modeling environment so that you can proceed with modeling
the part in the later exercises.
This exercise uses a different process than the process that was used in the
previous tutorial.
Because you will work in the Part Builder environment, you do not need to
have a drawing open to begin this exercise. However, the AutoCAD Civil 3D
tutorial drawings folder
