Understanding Pressure Network Styles in Civil 3D is essential for effectively visualizing and documenting pressure pipes, fittings, and appurtenances in a water, sewer, or gas distribution system. These styles control the appearance, labels, and behavior of the pressure network components in both 2D and 3D views.br br Key Components of Pressure Network Stylesbr A pressure network consists of several elements, and each has its own styles for controlling the display:br br Pressure Pipes: Styles define how pipes are displayed in plan, profile, and 3D views.br Fittings: Include elbows, tees, and reducers; styles control their shape, color, and size in views.br Appurtenances: Represent valves, hydrants, and other accessories; styles define their symbols and 3D geometry.br Labels: Control the annotations for pipes, fittings, and appurtenances.br 1. Pressure Pipe Stylesbr Pressure pipe styles determine the visual representation of pipes in:br br Plan View: Pipe thickness, line type, and color.br Profile View: How pipes appear in vertical sections.br 3D View: The material and appearance of the pipe in the model.br Editing Pressure Pipe Styles:br Go to Settings Pipe Network Pressure Pipe Styles in the Toolspace.br Right-click a style (e.g., "PVC Pipe") and choose Edit.br Adjust the following tabs:br Display: Set how the pipe appears in plan, profile, and 3D views (line type, color, and layers).br 3D Settings: Control the material, thickness, and rendering appearance of the pipe.br Size: Specify dimensions for different pipe diameters.br 2. Fitting Stylesbr Fittings include components like elbows, tees, and reducers.br br Editing Fitting Styles:br Go to Settings Pipe Network Fitting Styles.br Right-click a style (e.g., "Ductile Iron Elbow") and choose Edit.br Adjust these tabs:br Display: Configure how the fitting appears in plan, profile, and 3D.br 3D Settings: Control the fitting's shape, material, and level of detail in 3D views.br 3. Appurtenance Stylesbr Appurtenances include valves, hydrants, and other special components.br br Editing Appurtenance Styles:br Go to Settings Pipe Network Appurtenance Styles.br Right-click a style (e.g., "Gate Valve") and choose Edit.br Key options include:br Plan Symbol: Define the 2D representation of the appurtenance.br Model: Control the 3D appearance, including dimensions and rendering material.br 4. Label Stylesbr Labels are used to annotate pipes, fittings, and appurtenances in plan and profile views.br br Editing Label Styles:br Go to Settings Pipe Network Pressure Pipe Labels or Fitting Labels.br Customize these settings:br Text Content: Define the information displayed, such as pipe size, material, or pressure class.br Text Placement: Set offsets, rotations, and leader line options.br Profile Labels: Configure how pipes and fittings are annotated in vertical profiles.br 5. Assigning Styles to Pressure Network Componentsbr When creating or editing a pressure network, you can assign styles to its components:br br Select the pressure network in the drawing.
