To Export Storm Sewers .stm Files From Autodesk Civil 3D

You can export one or more pipe networks into an .stm file. You must choose entire pipe networks. You cannot export individual parts, or a set of connected parts within a pipe network.

The .stm file can then be opened by the Hydraflow Storm Sewers extension for analysis and editing. After editing the file in Storm Sewers, you can import it back into Autodesk Civil 3D. Changes made to the file while in the Storm Sewers extension are recognized in Autodesk Civil 3D.
