This tutorial demonstrates how to create a pipe network using the specialized layout tools.
You create a pipe network by selecting start and end points for pipes and locations for structures. You can connect pipes to a structure or to another pipe. The types of pipes and structures you can create in the pipe network are specified by a parts list. A parts list is a subset of the entire pipe network part catalog.
When you create a pipe network, you can associate it with a default surface and alignment. The placement and sizing of parts is adjusted as you lay out your pipe network using the surface data and the design rules for your pipe network. The alignment is primarily a reference for pipe network labeling.
