I using Civil 3d 2104 and have a pipe layout. Structure are Null, with a style.
I plan view, I'm trying show the structuce as a 45 degree bend. I have created a block of the 45 degree bend.
I created a new style (45 bend),
in Plan,
User define part is my new block.
Size options, use fixed scale from part size ( I want the block size base on the pipe size).
Fixed scael is 1 1 1. I have ckect enable part masking, since I want the block to trim the pipes.
all is good EXCEPT the block is distored and do not match the pipe size. I have also try using this sytel with other structure but they are also distored.
If I use "Size option" useing a fix scale, the block show a plan correctly, except that I would need to create a block for each pipe size.
I have look at the pipe part, but I didn't see anything about XYZ values.
so what wrong
After this I will do the same for wye, reducers and others fittings.
Are there pipe catalogue with fittings for gravity systems piping.
Thanks
This will likely save you lots of time:
