Topic: Not so Civil 3D Pipes

[mjfarrell]

I almost can not believe what I had to do to draw real 3d pressure pipes to go to my pump station....

The reason being I'm trying to show value of actually modeling the pump house in 3D...and thus the need to get the pipes to come up vertically through the floor of the pump house and then into the pump assembly...really it should not be so obnoxious to do this.
However it is...

yeah...this is really NOT a very friendly application of 3d pipes...

WHY do they work sooooo much better in Autocad MEP?

Still cool man...looks like fun

Are you saying everything to should work the same across all the platforms? lol

No I'm saying that PIPES in ALL Autodesk Products should work, and secondly should at least work similarly, as good as, or better than
PIPES in any other Autodesk product...such that IF a PIPES function is available in an application that it works sufficiently to actually model PIPES.
And if there is then some other product purported to be for a particular industry and it too offers a PIPES function it then should work better than
the other application that is not industry focused.

What -- you seriously expect the different groups at the Desk to talk to each other?  Man, I don't think that's ever happened, not even when John Walker was around.

Next thing you'll want the C3D guys to talk to the Map people.

I know that does not work...

Been asking for that for over a decade!

I know that does not happen (ever!)...
