Exercise 1: Defining the New Part in the Structure Catalog In this exercise, you will begin creating a vault structure in Part Builder by creating a new part chapter, and a new part family within the Structure catalog. You will also configure work planes in the Part Builder parametric modeling environment so that you can proceed with modeling the part in the subsequent exercises. Because you will work in the Part Builder environment, you do not need to have a drawing open to begin this exercise. However, in Exercise 5, Using the New Part, you will be instructed to open a drawing (Part Builder-3a.dwg) and use the part in a pipe network. The AutoCAD Civil 3D tutorial drawings folder (page 819) includes a drawing that contains the completed part-in this case, a vault manhole structure. If desired, before or after completing this exercise, you can open the Part Builder-3b.dwg file to see what this finished part looks like. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Understanding Part Builder. 1 Click Home tab ➤ Create Design panel Part Builder Started - Catalog Screen dialog box is displayed. .
