Editing Pressure Networks in Panorama in Civil 3D allows you to efficiently manage and modify pressure pipes, fittings, and appurtenances within your network. Panorama is a dynamic data table where you can view and edit multiple properties of a pressure network in one interface.
What is Panorama in Civil 3D?
Panorama is a multi-purpose dialog box used to display and edit data for various Civil 3D objects, including pressure networks. It provides a tabular view where you can quickly update attributes like pipe sizes, materials, elevations, and connection points.
Steps to Edit Pressure Networks Using Panorama
1. Open Panorama for a Pressure Network
Select a pressure network in your drawing.
In the Ribbon, go to Pressure Network Tools > Edit Network.
From the drop-down, select Edit Pressure Network in Panorama.
Alternatively, right-click the pressure network and choose Edit Pressure Network in Panorama.
2. Understanding the Panorama Interface
The Panorama window typically displays a grid-like table with columns representing attributes of the pressure network. These columns include:
Part Type: Indicates if the part is a pipe, fitting, or appurtenance.
Part Size: Displays the diameter or size of the part.
Material: Shows the material assigned to the pipe or fitting.
Start and End Elevations: Allows editing of the vertical placement of pipes.
Station and Offset: Displays the alignment position of parts in relation to the alignment.
Connected Parts: Lists connections between pipes, fittings, and appurtenances.
3. Editing Attributes in Panorama
Modify Sizes:
Click the Part Size cell for a pipe or fitting.
Select a new size from the drop-down list.
Change Materials:
Click the Material cell and choose a new material from the options available in the Parts List.
Adjust Elevations:
Update the Start Elevation and End Elevation cells to change pipe slopes or maintain hydraulic requirements.
Reassign Alignment Stations:
Modify the Station and Offset values to reposition parts along the alignment.
Update Connectivity:
Check the Connected Parts column to ensure proper connections between pipes, fittings, and appurtenances. Fix disconnected parts if necessary.
4. Validate the Pressure Network
Check for Errors:
After making changes, use the Validate Pressure Network tool to identify issues such as disconnected parts or incorrect sizes.
Resolve Errors:
Fix any errors directly in Panorama or in the drawing by selecting and modifying the affected components.
5. Save and Exit
Once you’ve made all necessary changes, close the Panorama window.
The edits will automatically apply to the pressure network in the drawing.
Tips for Efficient Editing in Panorama
Sort and Filter:
Click column headers to sort data (e.g., by size or material).
Use filters to focus on specific parts of the network.
Batch Edits:
Select multiple rows in Panorama and apply changes to all selected parts simultaneously.
Zoom to Part:
Right-click a row in Panorama and choose Zoom to to locate
