Comments(2) A guy that I work with shared a tip with me on how to combine two pipe networks in Civil 3D. I hear you can do this natively in Civil 3D 2012, but I thought I would share a workaround in case you are using an older version of Civil 3D.
- Export the network you want to put into another pipe network to a LandXML file.
- Next delete the just exported pipe network and rename the remaining pipe network to the name of the exported pipe network.
- Then import the xml file back into the drawing.
- The two pipe networks will now be combined into one (this also works with pipe networks in different files).
When you do this make sure the pipes and structures have different names or change them after you do the import. Having pipes or structures of the same name will most likely cause problems in the drawing.
this is precisely what i was looking to do. Ill check it out next time i need to make something lie this happen. Thanks.
Split/merge networks was introduced in 2011. 2010 and earlier require this work around.
