Join Eric Chappell for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding a part family, part of AutoCAD Civil 3D: Designing Gravity Pipe Systems.
- Now that we have a parts list,…we'll look next at populating it…with parts we can use.…We'll break this down into two sections:…pipes and structures,…and we'll begin with pipes.…Let's see how it's done.…I'm going to right-click the Residential Storm parts list…that we created in the last video…and I'll select Edit.…And I'll go to the Pipes tab…and right-click the very top line…or the single line that's there currently,…and select Add Part Family.…So that's where I need to start.…
I need to add a part family and then…within that part family will be a list of sizes…that are available or that I want to allow…to be available as part of the parts list.…So let's start with Concrete Pipe,…because we know we're going to need that.…So I'll check the box for Concrete Pipe and click OK.…So it kind of adds a node or a branch to the tree,…but there's nothing currently contained in that section.…So next, I need to add some sizes.…So I'll right-click and pick Add Part Size.…
So, when you're adding these sizes,…you'll want to decide whether you want to add…
