Get Invert Elevations and coordinate of all Pressure Pipe

[NoelRico]

Hi Everyone,

I got Civil3d 2023 drawing from designer that contains pressure pipe.

I want to collect all the start/end coordinate and invert elevation of all pressure pipe so I can draw a 3d polyline on it and give to surveyor for staking in the field.

I'm currently creating profile by tracing the bottom of pressure pipes and fittings in the profile view then create featureline from alignment, but its taking time. Please send me any C# code to automate this process.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Noel

Hi @NoelRico 

For best answer , can you attached example drawing

Note , can you use this code with some changes

Hi Alaa Hosney;

Thanks for the Code. I have already code for Pipe Network. I need only some properties of Pressure Network, please see below image.

Thanks,

hi @NoelRico 

try

public void InvertElevationscoordinates()
        {
            CivilDocument doc = CivilApplication.ActiveDocument;
            Editor ed = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;

            using (Transaction ts = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                ObjectIdCollection pipeNetworkIds = doc.GetPressurePipeNetworkIds();
                foreach (ObjectId pipeNetworkId in pipeNetworkIds)
                {
                    PressurePipeNetwork oNetwork = ts.GetObject(pipeNetworkId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as PressurePipeNetwork;
                    ObjectIdCollection pipeIds = oNetwork.GetPipeIds();
                    foreach (ObjectId pipeId in pipeIds)
                    {
                        PressurePipe oPipe = ts.GetObject(pipeId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as PressurePipe;

                        ed.WriteMessage(" " + System.Environment.NewLine);

                        ed.WriteMessage(oPipe.Name + System.Environment.NewLine);

                        string ContentText = string.Format("{0} StartPoint.X {1} StartPoint.Y {2} EndPoint.X {3} EndPoint.Y" +
                            " {4} Start Invert  {5} End Invert          ",
                            oPipe.StartPoint.X, oPipe.StartPoint.Y, oPipe.EndPoint.X, oPipe.EndPoint.Y, oPipe.StartElevation -( oPipe.InnerDiameter / 2 )
                            , oPipe.EndElevation - (oPipe.InnerDiameter / 2) );
                        ed.WriteMessage(ContentText);

                        ed.WriteMessage(" " + System.Environment.NewLine);
                        

                    }
