Interference Check Between Pipe Network and Pressure Network?

[smccull91]

Hello all,

Is there any way to run an interence check between a pipe network (my sanitary line) and a pressure network (my water line).  I have the waterline data referenced into the sanitary file.  I'm using Civil 3D 2014 Imperial.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

The Civil 3D Interference check only works for gravity pipe systems right now.  I know it's been suggested to Autodesk that they add in the ability that you're looking for, so we'll get it in 5 or so years....

While there is no automated way to run your interference check, I've had good luck just using the Object Viewer and 3D Orbiting around my pipes to see if they physically intersect.  You can select the entire networks in the prospector and then right click and go into object viewer to get a good view of it.

If you have access to Navisworks Manage (it's available in the Ultimate Suite), you can run clash detections between Pipe Networks and Pressure Networks.

Does anybody know if this functionality has been added to Civil 3D 2018 yet?  The ability to check interference between gravity and pressure pipe networks?

I am using 2018 C3D. Still cannot run interference checks between Pressure and Gravity pipe networks.

Almost 5 years later, still no interference check between pressure and gravity networks...

Question: Is it also possible in Navisworks to perform Clash detection on multiple utilities at a time?

What is the way forward.

Thanks and Regards.

I haven't used Navisworks in a long time but you should be able to do a clash between any objects in the model.
