Adding & Modifying Pipe Sizes in Part Builder in Civil 3D

In this tutorial titled "Civil 3D: Using Part Builder to Add Custom Pipe Sizes", Civil3D.TV demonstrates how to expand your pipe network options by creating and modifying pipe sizes in Part Builder. Learn how to add custom pipe sizes and ensure they’re available for use in your drawings.

What You’ll Learn:

Accessing Part Builder (10:16): Open Part Builder to modify existing pipe sizes or add new ones.
Adding a Custom Pipe Size (11:57): Create a pipe size not available in the default list, such as a 72-inch concrete pipe, specifying inner diameter and wall thickness.
Saving the Part Family (12:59): Ensure your new pipe size is saved and available for use.
Adding to Active Parts List (13:59): Include the newly created size in your active parts list so it can be used in your drawing.
Swapping Pipes (14:38): Replace an existing pipe with your custom size within the pipe network.
Adjusting Display Styles (6:28): Change the visual style of pipes and structures for clearer visibility.
