Adding Pressure Pipes

[caleyjag]

Hi guys,

I've been reading over the forum to see how people are using pressure pipes in C3D, and I was looking into creating my own catalog for work we do here.

I've been able to publish and then import valves, flange adaptors etc. with no problem, but if I create a flanged (metric) pipe using the Content Catalog Editor and then draw the pipe in C3D it shows blank ends, no flanges. I've split the pipe in the drawing to see if that forces flanges to appear, but nothing.

Are flanges something that just won't show? Do I need to create the flanges seperately and then add them to the end of pipes?

I'm using Civil 3D 2013 if that's any help.

you have to create flange item in the catalog, i put mine under the coupling category

Pipes will not show a connector, you'll have to add that as a fitting as mentioned already.

Additionally, if you are going to use pressure networks, I would HIGHLY recommend you upgrade to 2014. There is no way to data reference pressure networks in 2013. And, there's some additional functionality in 2014.
