You can use the Draw Parts In Profile command to draw an entire network in profile view or to draw select parts. When this is done, the pipes and structures shown in plan view are the same pipes and structures shown in profile view. Any change or addition to the pipe network will be visible in both views.
To draw the pipe network within a profile view, complete the following steps:
- Open the drawing named Drawing Pipe Networks in Profile View.dwg located in the Chapter 14 class data folder.
- In the left viewport, select the new storm manhole near the western corner of the Common Area, and then click Draw Parts In Profile on the ribbon.
- Click one of the grid lines of the Jordan Court profile view. The manhole is drawn within the profile view.
- Press Esc to clear the selection of the manhole, and then click the pipe that connects to the manhole from the southeast.
- Click Draw Parts In Profile on the ribbon, and then click the grid of the Jordan Court profile view.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the inlet located north of station 2+40.42 (0+073.28).
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the pipe that begins at station 2+40.42 (0+073.28) and ends at station 5+50 (0+170).
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the inlet located to the west of station 5+50 (0+170). Now there are two pipes and three structures drawn in the profile view (see Figure 14.10).
