Civil 3D and pressure systems

- [Instructor] In this video, let's take a look at how Civil 3D handles pressure systems. We'll start with how do you create them. If I go to the Home tab of the ribbon, you'll see on the Pipe Network menu, there's a separate set of tools for creating pressure networks. And we can create them from a tool bar. We can also create them from objects. Also create them from what's called an Industry Model. So that's where you'll find the tools for creating pressure networks and notice that they're separate from these tools which are gravity networks. The editing tools you'll find by clicking on a pressure pipe object in the drawing. And what's interesting about these tools is that it's actually two sets of tools. With gravity pipes we only have really only one editing tool set. But with pressure pipes we have two. If I go to Edit Network, I have got Plan Layout Tools and Profile Layout Tools. And what you'll find is that Profile Layout Tools are a little bit more robust. There's more that…
