you could import the pipe csv into civil3d as polyine/3dpolyline (will require script or maybe the survey module can draw it. Then create pipe network from it

Shashirekha,

In your <<<Other Thread>>> Drazen created the shapefile linework in Urbano. (I've never used Urbano.) I don't see any easy way to create linework from CSV in any program. (And I've really looked.) The most promising in QGIS is to use the <<<PointConnector Plugin>>>, but I was not able to make it work with your data.

Shashirekha,

OK, here's one way. You can use a <<<Script>>> to draw 3D Linework in AutoCAD. Then Save as a DXF file. QGIS will import the DXF file and then you can create the Shapefile of Pipe Lines.
