Tile Terrace Pipe Network

Hi there, 

 

I am looking at adding some agricultural tile terrace, pipe parts for a pipe network in C3D 2021. How difficult is it to find these parts somewhere online? From there, how difficult is it to add them to the parts library? I've attached several screen shots of some of the typical inlets....it'd be really nice to get these parts added so that I can automate out most of the elevation and labeling. 

 

I have A LOT of experience building pipe networks in C3D, but mainly on the engineering side. I've always had a CADD person to build out our libraries, so I'd really appreciate any guidance you have!

I doubt if you will be able to find these online.  To create them yourself, you have two options, Part Builder in Civil 3d or the Infrastructure Part Editor (IPE).  IPE requires you to also have inventor which most Civil 3d people don't have access to.

 

I would research either one in Autodesk University sessions to check into if you want to go this route.  Personally, if I didn't ABSOLUTELY NEED these modeled in 3d, I wouldn't go this route.
