Multi-barrel pipes

[boberdorf]

What the best way to draw multiple parallel pipes that cross a corridor.  In my example I have a track with 4 pipes crossing the track corridor on slightly different alignments (from perpendicular to skewed).  I have drawn the pipes on as individual pipes under the same network following advice I found on the forum.

Hwever I cannot get them all to display on the profile.  I have tried "Draw Parts in Profile" but it seems to bring up only 1 pipe.

I would appreciate any guidance on managing multiple pipes.

Thanks

Select Profile View>Right Click>Profile View Properties>Pipe Networks Tab.

Are pipes 1-4 all checked to display here? This is where the profile display options are managed.

If they are checked for display please post a screen capture of the pipe layout in plan view in relation to the corridor.

Thanks Jay,

I appreciate the response.  I am an amatuer on C3D and overlooked that setting.

Out of curiousity, is this the correct way to manage parallel pipes based on your experience?

If your main goal is to draw and label the pipes I don't think it matters much if you have 4 disconnected pipes in one network or create 4 separate networks.

The reason you only had one pipe display is there are 2 options to draw pipe networks in profile view
Draw part in Profile.
Draw Entire Network in Profile.

My personal preference is to draw a single part in profile. Once this is done in a file for 1 initial pipe network,
any additional networks will also appear in the listing on the Pipe Network tab of pfl view prop's.

If a busy network is drawn using entire network option there's a bunch of pipes or structures that I end up
turning off anyhow.
