Workflow Processes:

• Pipe Network Layout

  This process includes the tasks necessary to create existing or a pre-determined design pipe networks. This Process is for the network layout, modification and refinement but does NOT incorporate Part Rules or Interference Checks.

  Common terms used throughout this process:
  Network – A collection of interconnected structures and pipes.
  Pipe Run – One or more structures and/or pipes that are connected in series. Also known as a pipe reach.

  Although these tasks are recommended as a best practice for a typical pipe layout, some variances may be warranted for unique circumstances.

  Note:
  This process assumes that Network Parts and all associative styles have been defined. This includes all the object and label styles plus the default command settings for Gravity Network Pipes and Structures.

• Pipe Network Creation with Rules and Interference Checks

  This process includes the tasks necessary to create existing or a pre-determined design pipe networks. This process will incorporate the network layout, modification and refinement PLUS the application of Part Rules or Interference Checks.

  Common terms used throughout this process:
  Network – A collection of interconnected structures and pipes.
  Pipe Run – One or more structures and/or pipes that are connected in series. Also known as a pipe reach.

  Although these tasks are recommended as a best practice for a typical pipe layout, some variances may be warranted for unique circumstances.

  Note:
  This process assumes that Network Parts and all associative styles have been defined. This includes all the object and label styles plus the default command settings for Gravity Network Pipes, Structures, Interference Checks, and Rules.

• Pipe Network Setup for SSA or Storm Sewers

  This process will establish the settings for the parts of a gravity pipe network in Civil 3D to create a Storm Sewers project, or to create or add to a SSA (Storm and Sanitary Analysis) project.

  Assumptions:
  This process assumes that a Gravity Pipe Network has been defined.
