5 In the Add Labels dialog box, click Close. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 3: Editing Pipe Network Parts in a Profile View (page 649). Exercise 3: Editing Pipe Network Parts in a Profile View In this exercise, you will edit the pipe network parts drawn in a profile view using editing grips and by directly editing the part properties. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Editing Pipe Networks Using Grips. This exercise continues from Exercise 2: Adding Labels to Pipe Network Parts (page 646). Grip edit pipe network parts in profile view NOTE This exercise uses Pipe Networks-3.dwg with the modifications you made in the previous exercise, or you can open Pipe Networks-3B from the tutorial drawings folder (page 819). 1 In the profile view for ROAD1 (PV - (1)), click Pipe - (4), which connects the structures that are offset from stations 11+00 and 12+50 on ROAD1. 2 Click the square editing grip at the center of the pipe to make it active. Click a new vertical location for the pipe so the start invert elevation is approximately 650 feet. NOTE The horizontal grid line immediately below the pipe indicates 650 feet. As you move your cursor, the tooltip displays the current elevation of the active grip. 3 Click the triangular grip at the start (downslope) end of the pipe to make it active. Click a new position for the pipe end so that it aligns with the end invert elevation of Pipe - (3), which is between stations 11+00 and 9+50. Parametrically edit pipe network parts in profile view 1 With Pipe - (4) still selected, right-click. Click Pipe Properties. Exercise 3: Editing Pipe Network Parts in a Profile View | 649
