New pipe network editing tools allow you to automatically export Civil 3D Pipe Network objects for editing in both Storm Sewers and Storm and Sanitary Analysis.
Both commands are located in the Design panel of the Analyze tab of the 2012 release as well as in the Pipe Network contextual ribbon tab that appears when a pipe network object is selected. When used, these buttons automatically launch the application, export the pipe network data from Civil 3D, and import the model for editing. Once editing is complete. Users are able to export the data and re-import the changes back into their Civil 3D drawings.
Also included in the 2012 release are enhancements to Ground Data Analysis. Along with the original Water Drop and Catchment Area commands, new options have been added allowing users to create flow paths and catchment areas from surfaces and objects in the drawing.
These commands can be found in the Ground Data panel of the Analyze tab, under the Flow Paths and Catchments drop down lists.
