Understand gravity pipe networks and their design, focusing on structures and pipes, inlets and catch basins. Explore asymmetrically pipe network and ensure gravity-driven flow and proper relationships for stormwater management.
Create gravity pipe networks in Civil 3D from objects or by layout. Use object-to-pipe or layout tools to assign pipe sizes (15, 18, 24 in) and view in profile.
Edit gravity pipe networks in AutoCAD Civil 3D using grips, groups, and editing tools to adjust alignment, elevation, and diameter. Use properties and tools to merge and edit networks.
Explore the fundamentals of pressure pipe networks, including fittings, pipes, elbows, and ordinances, and how elevation, access, and bends differentiate gravity from pressure design in Civil 3D.
Master creating pressure pipe networks in Civil 3D by converting objects to a pressure network or using layout tools, setting cover, size, material, and fittings.
Learn to edit pressure pipe networks in AutoCAD Civil 3D using grips, plan layout, and profile tools, perform design and depth checks, and connect new pipes and fittings.
Explore displaying pipe networks with structure and fittings styles to differentiate gravity and pressure systems across plan, profile, and 3d views, using style overrides to change appearance.
Annotate pipe networks in plan view with accurate horizontal locations, elevations, and depths, rename pipes and structures, and create readable plain view labels using style edits.
Create and edit pipe network labels in profile view using the Air Label Together Box, choosing single part or internal profile options, and adjust placement with dimension anchors.
Learn to create pipe network tables and labels in Civil 3D, linking drawing features to table data for manholes and pipes to improve readability and coordination.
About the Instructor
I am a professional Engineer with degree in Transportation Engineering. Working in a multinational Consultancy Firm as a Senior Highway Design Engineer. I have been a part of many Mega projects of National and International Importance.
As a Highway Design Engineer, AutoCAD Civil 3D is my primary design tool. I have excellently developed my skills on AutoCAD Civil 3D over a period of many years, working on several Highway Design projects.
Key Features of This Course
One of the most comprehensive AutoCAD Civil 3D online course on Pipe Network Design.
Video lectures for your extensive learning.
All lesson files included for download.
Taught by a Professional Engineer having extensive hands-on experience of AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Course is based on a real life example Residential Land Development Project.
Project-oriented Course
The course lessons are project-oriented and all of the tools and commands are taught with their real-world applications. As you work your way through this course, you are going to take a journey through the completion of a residential land development project from start to finish. The topics are presented as though you have never touched a CAD program before. Whatever you learn and practice in this course will be relevant to the real life practices.
Which version of AutoCAD Civil 3D is used?
I have used AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 for recording this course but it is equally good for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 and later versions. But it is recommended that you have at least installed AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 on your computer as the practice files are compatible with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 and higher versions.
What Topics are Covered in This Course?
This course is organized to provide you with the knowledge needed to master the essentials of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This course is divided into three (03) chapters/sections and a total of ten (10) lectures as described below:
Section 1: Designing Gravity Pipe Networks Demonstrates how to design underground gravity pipe systems for a residential land development project while focusing on the pipe network functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating and editing pipe networks.
Section 2: Designing Pressure Pipe Networks Demonstrates how to design underground pressure pipe systems for a residential land development project while focusing on the pressure pipe network functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating and editing pressure pipe networks.
Section 3: Displaying and Annotating Pipe Networks Demonstrates how to control the appearance of pipe networks (both gravity and pressure) and provide annotation while focusing on AutoCAD Civil 3D pipe styles, structure styles, fitting styles, appurtenance styles, and pipe network labels. This Section covers displaying pipe networks in profile view, creating pipe network labels, and creating pipe network tables.
The course is easy to follow; all of the resources needed are posted in the course content. What are you waiting for....! Register Now.
