    Default Inside Wall Proxcimity Vilolation

    I would like to see the ability to apply a restriction on the distance between the inside of a structure and the outside of a pipe. As long as the outside of the pipe remained within the restriction boundaries no error messages would show up, once the boundary limit was exceeded an error message would prompt an evaluation of the structure size vs pipe size relationship.

    Hi Fred,
    What you don't want to try and have the contractor put a 48" pipe into a catch basin that is only 30" wide?

    That is the general idea, and to take this idea one (1) step further, maybe a report on the total violation distance, and the violation distance on each side. With the distances known maybe offsetting (from center) the pipe within the structure, can eliminate the need for a larger structure.

    Can you offset a pipe in Civil 3D? Maybe that is another wishlist item?

    We use Cast-in-place junction structures for almost all of our JS here just for that reason. If it is a standard pass-through or anything under our "Standard" precast sizes then we call out our Standard for that type of Box or JS that already has the sizes defined by pipe size and type in a table. All contractors are required to have a copy of these Standards Onsite during construction. Makes plans much easier and a lot less details required.
