Parts Builder Wizard

[Civil 3D Wishes]

Summary: 1.) I wish I could add connection points and or penitrations to structures created in parts builder on the fly. These connection points and or Penitrations should have the ability to be added on the fly and relocated if need be. This allows connections at the wall and elevation, giving the ability of true inside drop structure design and pump station design.

2.) Also the ability to rotate the cone section of the model part upon insertion or after the fact when field varified witout changing connection point locations.

2.) Also the ability to rotate the cone section of the model part upon insertion or after the fact when field varified witout changing connection point locations.

How Used: 1.) This will allow me to add new systems to old deisgns under expansion projects. Also it will cut down on custom configured manholes, chambers, pump station vaults etc...
This will allow me to make the pipe connection at wall of structure rather than center of structure. This will help on not needing to create multi-configurations of manholes. Worst case: A 4 pipe run with 4 drop structures in one manhole.

2.) The location of a lid is important under design so as not to position the manhole lid in the area of the road where it will get the most abuse.

Feature Affinity: Pipes

Great idea. This will help increse productivity by not having to create multiple structures because of differant connection points.
