Understanding Part Builder
Topics in this section
- About Part Builder
Part Builder lets you create and modify pipe network parts that are available in Autodesk Civil 3D part catalogs. - About Parametric Parts in Part Builder
Parametric parts give you the flexibility to create pipe network parts that are dynamically sized according to size parameters. - About Part Builder Terminology
Understanding the following key terms will help as you begin using Part Builder. - About Part Configuration in Part Builder
Defining the part configuration is the first step in creating a part. - About Modeling a Part in Part Builder
Modeling a part involves configuring a variety of part features. - About Using Work Planes in Part Builder
Use work planes to define a part, position geometry, and define relationships between part features. - About Defining Geometry in Part Builder
Geometry features are the basic building blocks for defining the size and shape of the model. - About Dimensions in Part Builder
Add dimension information to specify the length, diameter, or rotation angle of geometric elements in the model. - About Constraints in Part Builder
Add constraints to create rules that control how a part can change in shape or size. - About Creating Profiles in Part Builder
Create profiles to define a two-dimensional (2D) outline of a part’s geometric shape. - About Using Modifiers in Part Builder
Use modifiers to create three-dimensional features of the model. - About Placement Points in Part Builder
Use the Autolayout Data option to define the part placement point in the drawing. - About Model Parameters in Part Builder
Configuring model parameters enables you to control the model’s shape and size by establishing relationships between defined parameters. - About Size Parameters in Part Builder
Part sizes are controlled by size parameters that set the dimensions of the part size.
