Water Pipeline Profile generating

[chotarae]

Does anyone have an idea of generating a profile similar to this with all its information?

I get my water pipe in the profile, do any vertical editing, then draw a profile along the top of the pipe. we give grades for minimum depth to top of pipe - once you have the top of pipe defined you can copy that profile to anything else - invert of pipe, trench bottom, whatever. in the profile view you can define the band (labels) to use whatever profiles you want (ground, invert, trench, etc.) and label according to your labeling preferences. it isn't necessarily easy to set up, especially in the form you show, but I'm pretty sure you can make it look any way you want if you take the time to set it up properly.

@chotarae,

What you would like to achieve? To make such kind of profile in Civil 3D (as similar as possible)? Or you are searching for any application which can do the same (or similar)?

Believe (as @Anonymous explained) that geometry (elevations, depths...) can be managed with Civil 3D. But specific hydraulic data probably not (steady state head, design flow, offtake...). Not sure, but do not believe that angular deviations (ver and hor) can be included in the profile.

Hi Drenaud, Thank you for the idea, I will surely try it out. I was informed that the said profile was generated using a lisp extension that was uploaded, but it only produced the fields that have been populated.

Hi drazen.galic, Either of the above as long as all the fields shown in the example are populated. 

[chotarae]

And is there any other software that can perform the same function?

Hi @chotarae,

Yes, there is software Urbano Hydra, based on AutoCAD, from StudioARS which can do what you asked. I will prepare few pictures of plan and profiles to show you that (to be as similar as you attached). In mean time you can watch YouTube videos about Urbano Hydra on next link:

Maybe the most informative is complete overview on next link:

Hi @chotarae,

There are the pictures (both profile and plan). On purpose I excluded a lot options in the profiles to be as similar as your initial picture:

The only data which we don't understand is "Horizontal alignment".

That's awesome. Did you use Urbano Hydra software?

[drazen.galic]

We are producing it. I am the head of development.

Horizontal Alignment is just stating which side of the road the pipe has been laid, i.e RHS/ LHS

Hi @chotarae,

Then it is not a problem to include that in the table bands.

And where can I get this software?
