### **How to Draw a Pressure Network in Profile View in Civil 3D** br br In **Civil 3D**, you can display a **Pressure Network** in a **Profile View** to visualize pipes, fittings, and appurtenances along an alignment. Follow these steps to draw a pressure network in **Profile View**: br br ---br br ## **Step 1: Create or Select a Pressure Network** br 1. Open your **Civil 3D** drawing. br 2. If you haven't created a **Pressure Network**, go to: br - **Home tab Create Design Pressure Network Creation Tools** br - Choose **From Parts List** or **From Object**. br 3. If a **Pressure Network** already exists, ensure it's assigned to an **Alignment**. br br ---br br ## **Step 2: Create a Profile View** br 1. Click **Home tab Create Design Profile View Create Profile View**. br 2. Select the **Alignment** associated with the Pressure Network. br 3. Follow the wizard to generate the **Profile View**. br br ---br br ## **Step 3: Project Pressure Network to Profile View** br 1. Select the **Pressure Network** in the **Plan View**. br 2. Click on the **Pressure Network contextual ribbon** and choose: br - **Draw Parts in Profile View** br 3. Select the **Profile View** where you want to display the network. br 4. Click **OK**, and the pipes, fittings, and appurtenances will appear in the Profile View. br br ---br br ## **Step 4: Adjust Pressure Network Elevations** br 1. Select the **Pressure Network** in the **Profile View**. br 2. Open the **Pressure Network Editor** (Modify tab Edit Pipe Network). br 3. Adjust the **Pipe Elevations** by: br - **Manually dragging nodes** in Profile View. br - Using **Edit Pressure Pipe Elevations** to set values precisely. br 4.
