    Default Underground Duct Banks/Cable Trenches

    Summary: Add the capability to design Underground Duct Banks/Cable Trenches Functionality in the future releases of AutoCAD Civil 3D!

    Description: As an Electrical Designer&Engineer I'd like to see Underground Duct Banks/Cable Trenches Functionality in the future releases of AutoCAD Civil 3D!

    For example, the Intergraph PDS 8 (Plant Design System) application has an 'Electrical Raceway Module', which has the possibility to lay out and design underground Duct Banks, Cable Trenches, Electrical cable Trays and Conduit systems, and Junction boxes.

    For more information please see the last paragraph from page 2 from the following PDS Product Sheet PDF-file:
    http://www.intergraph.com/assets/pdf/PDS.pdf

    How Used: Designing Underground Concrete Duct Banks is my everyday task.
    The Underground Duct Banks Functionality will be used to show in the drawing the different types of Manholes, the number of Pipes between the Manholes with their characteristic (material, diameter and etc.) and etc.
    Between every 2 manholes over the Underground Duct Bank must have the possibility to be made cross-sections showing the Duct Bank Configuration - the Pipes configuration, the pipes Depth, Dimensions and etc.

    Feature Affinity: Other

    I have the same problem with regular pipes, which are supported, I need to show dimension to prove I have sufficient mandated separations between different types of utilities. Could you create a square pipe to do the duct work? Good luck.
