To create a pressure network from objects in the drawing, follow these steps: One disadvantage to this method is that the same parts are used for pipes and fittings throughout the entire network.
This command will create pipe networks from Civil 3D alignments and feature lines as well. This approach works quite well because Civil 3D provides a command that will convert these basic entities to pressure networks: the Create Pressure Network From Object command. Creating a Pressure Network from ObjectsAt times, you will find it easier to start with AutoCAD commands to sketch your pressure network using basic entities. The specialized ribbon tab (see Figure 15.4) is launched by using the Pressure Network Creation Tools command. One difference with pressure networks is that the layout tools are housed in the ribbon rather than on a toolbar. Another is to create the pressure network using layout tools. The first is to lay out the pressure networks using basic AutoCAD® entities such as lines or polylines and then convert those objects to a pressure network. As with gravity networks, pressure networks can be created in one of two ways.
