Fix an issue with random missing pipe and structure labels in profile view bands.

Civil 3D alignment station equations are extremely useful when different station values are required along an alignment. However, difficulties arise when trying to display station equation values in a pipe network profile view or a structure table.

Labeling pipe network parts may require access to properties that are not available in the pipe or structure properties. In these situations, User Fields available in the pipe and structure properties window can be used.

After completing a pipe network design in Civil 3D, you may receive an updated design surface. When this happens, the pipe network...

There may be situations where you need to determine the total water demand of your reticulation network over a specific period. The...

We wanted to determine how long it takes to swap 300 structures using Devotech iDAS, considering structures with varying numbers of size parameters, in both Civil 3D 2022 and 2026.

Rounded pipes and structures may appear faceted in Civil 3D with the "Realistic" visual style. Changing the "Rendered object smoothness" improves the appearance.

Before creating pipe networks from polylines, it is best practice to pre-process the polylines to ensure accuracy (no gaps between...

The video below provides a step-by-step guide on sizing a water reticulation tank in Autodesk Civil 3D with Devotech iDAS. In this...

If you print the pipe network profile views with the hydraulic and energy grade lines (HGL and EGL) turned off, you might see some lines...

In some drawings, you may experience an issue where pipe network structures are visible in plan view but they are not visible in 3D view,...

If there are question marks in the pipe network longitudinal section (profile view) instead of ground-level values, you need to set the...

If you import a new band set in the pipe network profile view, Autodesk® Civil 3D® resets the Data Source (under profile view...

If there are question marks in the pipe network longitudinal section (profile view) instead of station values, you need to set the...

Creating structures from COGO points is almost the same as creating structures from a CSV file, because the COGO points can be exported...

When importing pipe networks from a SHP file with the standard Civil 3D functionality, the available options may not be sufficient for a typical pipe network. Common challenges include: Multiple pipe and structure materials Pipe diameters or structure sizes that do not match available parts Missing invert or rim elevation data Missing structures Multiple network types stored within a single shapefile If you have iDAS 12.4 Update 1 or a newer version, you can instead use iDAS

How to export results from running a successful water network analysis in the Devotech iDAS Pipe Manager: OPTION 1 Go to Report -...

The video below illustrates how to import new pipes to the part list from the catalogue. The workflow in the video can also be used for...
