creating encasement pipe

[MKH-VB]

is there a way in C3D to create an encasement pipe.  Basically a pipe inside a larger pipe.  Both pipes would have to have the same slope, so they look parallel in plan and profile. Thanks

thats a great tutorial, but I am looking for more of a "conduit" type encasement pipe.  Where a pipe is inside a pipe.   Thanks again.

Thanks Paul...what a fantastic article. I'm diving into that as soon as possible...bravo!

You can just draw a pipe in plan using a larger dia for the encasement & then project that to your profile & adjust the invert elevations (graphically) to center the encasement pipe over the pipe in profile

We just did this last week or so and there are a few ways

is there a way to cross hatch the entire pipe, not just the walls?  Thats how I typically show my encasement.  Thanks

Sure, create a pipe size with a small inner diameter and real thick walls.
