Introduction

When a Civil 3D pipe network is created using the Create Network or Multi Create commands, Civil Site Design stores a record of the Civil 3D pipe network name and settings applied to create the pipe network.  Manage Networks provides the ability to edit the exchange settings and enable/disable the synchronisation and dynamic update of the pipe networks.

Process for Deleting a Pipe Network

The process to remove the link between a Civil Site Design and Civil 3D pipe network and delete all Civil 3D objects is:

  1. From this form, use the Remove Selected command (detailed below) to remove the link between the Civil Site Design network and the Civil 3D Network
  2. Delete the pipe network from the drawing via the Civil 3D Toolspace > Prospector tab
  3. Delete the created alignments, profiles and profile views from the drawing
