Model a 3D Culvert

[rmk]

Can someone explain how to draw a 3d culvert to be utilized in plan, profile and section views?
I don't necessarily need a pipe network, just a simple 3d hollow pipe that can be placed at elevation and location.
Or point me in the direction of a good youtube video.

I tried using the 3d modeling workspace, but am totally in the dark.

thanks

Draw a of the right outside diameter diameter @ 0,0
Draw a circle of the right inside diameter diameter @ 0,0,-1

Extrude the first (outside Circle) the desired length
Extrude the Inside Circle the desired length +2

Switch you view to NW Isometric

Use the command SUBTRACT

Pick outside circle FIRST

Then pick the inside circle and it will be subtracted from the other solid.
This forms your pipe.

Use 3DROTATE command to flip it around the X-axis

Also look into changing your UCS if you want to model out of the WCS.
You set your UCS so Z is pointing in the direction of the pipe extrusion.

Further, you can slice the pipe ends if the pipe is beveled.

Also a plan view of the head wall can be exrtruded to show that in your isometric view as well...

Samples to follow.

thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Inlet Floor slab - Extrustion to Thickness

Pipe Sliced using Face of Headwall/3Points to define the slicing Plane

i am looking for a 3d model exactly like this for a long time and Thanks for your clean and clear explanation.
