A structure was created at each polyline vertex within Pipe Networks Civil 3d. How do I change this default setting for a created pipe network?
Thanks.
I have the same question, this worked back in 2008 or 2009, when converting a polyline with vertices it would come in as one pipe with vertices. Now using Civil 3D 2014, there is a structure inserted at each vertex. We have a lot of curved pipes saved in GIS that are drawn as polylines with many straight segments, so this is a very important feature to us.

@birthdefect, Nick, I just opened up an old laptop for the first time in years. It still has C3D2008 installed so tried to duplicate what you describe and see no way of creating a single pipe with multiple vertices. Perhaps you used a tool to convert the segmented pline to one with radii prior to converting to a pipe network? I don't recall a pipe being anything other than one with start and end points, and a radius for a curved pipe.
Hi Jeff, thanks for checking, it turns out I had done as you suggested and used a curved pipe. It was so long ago I had convinced myself I did it the other way!
