Xpipe: Pipe Solid 3D (LISP)

samoh21 — Wed, 08 Jan 2020 14:09:10 GMT

There is this LISP routine from CADTUTOR wich creates 3D Pipe Solid from af 3D polyline.

I want to the XPIPE LISP routine to create 3D Solid from the invert elevation instead of the centerline with these steps:

1. Create a feature line with Invert elevation

2. Explode the FL and create 3D polyline

3. Use XPIPE to create 3D pipe Solid

Can anyone help modify the code or have any suggestion?

Using the C3D Pipe network catalog is not an options, as it has to be useable in AutoCad

Do you use Civil 3D? I saw it in the tags of your initial message. Or do you use only AutoCAD?

If yes (you use Civil 3D), there is a standart command CONVERTTO3DSOLIDS

which creates 3D Solids from Civil 3D Pipe and Preesure Pipe Networks.

Let me know please if you need more support it this post.

Also to make possible to read (not edit) Civil 3D objects (including Pipe Networks) in AutoCAD you can install Civil 3D Object Enabler.
