View Full Version : 2011 Lateral curves in pipe networks?

Excuse me if my terminology is faulty. I will be creating a pipe network for a sanitary sewer. It will be a 10" sewer pipe and will need to have a 250' radius in some places. Is there a way to create a pipe network with radii in C3D 2001?
BTW, it is not vertical curves I am needing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to do what I have done in the past, which is to draw short segments of straight pipe. I that case I suppose I'll just draw the pipes in manually with polylines.

Assuming you are talking about horizontal curves in plan view, then yes.
The 2010 manual refers to curved pipe, so it's in 2011 also.

Worked like a charm, just like drawing polylines. I haven't created a profile yet, but I'm sure it will turn out right. I had looked in the help file before posting here, but I was searching the index instead of using "search".
