    Pipe network profile views

    I am using C3D 2012.

     

    I have a storm water pipe network and a sanitary pipe network. In the profile view I am displaying both networks. My question is in the profile view the storm pipes are in "front/foreground" of the sanitary pipes. Is there a way to "trim" out the sanitary pipe profile lines where they pass behind the storm sewer.

     

    Kind of like a display order so looking at the profile I can tell which pipe and in foreground and which are in the back ground.

     

    Any reply is appreciated

     

    Thanks

    I haven't done this but I might try to turn on the pipe hatch in the pie style, color it white and use display order to hide pipes behind the view.

     

    If this didn't work I would try wipeouts.
