How to Gravity Part-2 How can Add Structure Part Rules in Civil 3d

In AutoCAD Civil 3D, adding gravity pipe rules is essential for ensuring that your pipe network meets design standards. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add and apply gravity pipe rules using the InfraWorks BIM Academy methodology:
Step 1: Access the Pipe Network Creation Tools
1. **Open AutoCAD Civil 3D**:
- Launch AutoCAD Civil 3D and open your project file.
2. **Create a Pipe Network**:
- Go to the "Home" tab on the ribbon.
- In the "Create Design" panel, click on "Pipe Network" "Create Pipe Network".
- Follow the prompts to specify the type of network (gravity), name it, and set the surface and alignment references.
Step 2: Access the Pipe Rules
1. **Open the Pipe Rules**:
- In the "Prospector" tab within the Toolspace, expand the "Pipe Networks" category.
- Expand the specific pipe network you are working on.
- Right-click on "Parts Lists" and select "Edit".
2. **Edit Parts List**:
- In the "Network Parts List" dialog box, select the parts list you want to edit or create a new one.
- Click on the "Pipes" or "Structures" tab, depending on which rules you want to apply.
- Select a part type (pipe or structure) and click "Edit".
Step 3: Add or Modify Rules
1. **Access Rules for a Part Type**:
- In the "Part Properties" dialog box, go to the "Rules" tab.
- Here, you can add, remove, or modify rules.
2. **Add New Rule**:
- Click "Add Rule" to create a new rule.
- In the "Select Rule" dialog box, choose from the available rules (e.g., cover, slope, velocity).
- Set the parameters for the rule (e.g., minimum and maximum cover, minimum slope).
3. **Modify Existing Rules**:
- Select an existing rule and click "Edit Rule" to modify its parameters.
- Adjust the parameters as needed to fit your design requirements.
Step 4: Apply Rules to Pipe Network
1. **Apply Rules to Pipes and Structures**:
- Once the rules are set, they will automatically apply to the parts within your parts list.
- To ensure the rules are applied correctly, select the pipe network in the drawing.
- Right-click and select "Apply Rules".
2. **Verify Rule Application**:
- You can check if the rules are correctly applied by selecting individual pipes or structures in your network and reviewing their properties in the "Prospector" or "Properties" palette.
