I'm not a lisp guy, but I think this could be done with a little lisp code.
Maybe someone with more lisp experience my chime in. It could be done in .NET, but it would take more overhead for a right click menu than what I think should be necessary. The trick is turning the part in profile view into the parent pipe or structure and then run the apply rules to it.
Effort wise this should be a 4 hour task plus QA/QC and adding it to the right click menu. A really light weight change.
I don't know if Steve Hill (Red Transit Consultants) ever shows up on this particular forum, but he's pretty well cracked the code on getting all pipe network functionality to work from both profile and plan view. He's got the .NET code written for it, and he may be able to use it to apply to the out-of-the-box pipe network commands. I'll forward this on to him.
Yea, I'll add this to my list for merge Pipe Network Productivity Tools - all of which work from plan or profile. This has been something I've suggested for years for ALL commands... And honestly the code is not all that intense to make it happen as @Civil3DReminders hinted at.
@ceethreedee.com the problem arises when you want to apply the pipe rules along a run of pipes. Sure you can apply it to one pipe or structure in profile view, but once you try to do more than one then Civil 3D gives us the big middle finger and says you have to pick the pipes and structures in plan.
From the command line if you type in ApplyRules at the command line:
"Select up slope part in plan (Pipe or Structure):"
It really makes no sense on why you can't do this. A simple error message could be provided letting you know the start and ending structure don't connect.
Since the pipe rules are usually best used along a run of pipe so the pipe inverts match when going through a structure applying them one at a time has limited value.
