If you have "Standard" shapes, you can use AutoCAD to create the shape, and
then create a Subassembly from the linework. There is a command in the menu
Corridor -> Create Subassembly from Polyline which should be used to create
subassemblies from AutoCAD entities. Using the Corridor model, you can the
attach this Subassembly to an Alignment and extrude it along the alignment.

I've considered drawing a cross section of one of these structures,
extruding the wire frame and then aligning the object to know elevation
data. I can't think of how to attach this to an alignment to sample the
surface and create these sections. These sections should also reference
utility conflicts, i.e., other pipe alignments. Are atypical sections
possible?
