Pipe Network Structure Label Pipe Install Note

Using Civil 3D 2010, I have my Storm Water structure label as follows:

 

Northing, Easting

Reference Alignment, Stationing

Construct Storm Sewer Structure

Storm Sewer Structure Size

Top Elevation

Install Length of Invert In Pipe

 

Does anyone know how to show the length of pipe, material, and direction of the invert in pipe in a structure note?

 

If it involves putting together an expression, does anyone of any ideas? I'm kind of lost.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Clayton-

 

I think the "text for each" component will get most of these for you. Add that component and then drill down into the text contents to see what options are available to add to your label.

Hope this helps!

Here is what is available when adding "text for each" and the pipes connecting to a structure.

There is nothing available for the length of pipe connected to the structure.

This one is a BIG pain for us. You cannot get the pipe length from the structure labels.

 

So, instead of having it part of the structure note (like we have for years) we are now creating pipe tables with this information.

You do get the direction and material, however you are correct; length is not present. Unfortunately I do not know of any method to get the length to populate a structure label.

 

I would suggest you request this functionality by visiting Product Feedback
