Pipe/Structure Table

[Anonymous]

See attached pic.



We currently use Excel as our table of choice and then OLE it into CAD. Looking at the table, I feel confident I can recreate most of this in C3D seamlessly. but there are some issues that I have questions on.

1. We are specifying Inlet to Inlet. I'm not sure how to accomplish this as the network looks at Structure-Pipe-Structure. How does it know what structure is next and downstream? An IF THEN expression?

2. Top is Rim elevation - no problem

3. Inv In and Inv Out - again, no problem

5. Horz. Len., Slope, size, type - I guess I can steal those components from the pipes and use them in a structure table.



Mind you,I haven't sat down and actually did anything with these yet - its all conceptual. But the inlet to Inlet thing seems to me the hardest part. Anyone have any ideas?

This is very simple to accomplish with a pipe table. See attached. Since you know what you want to include it's just a matter of choosing the correct pipe properties and adding them to the text component editor in each section of the table. Those familiar with the pipe properties should have no difficulty creating the pipe table style. This is just another great tool that makes our lives better!
