Adding fittings and appurtenances to a parts list in Civil 3D involves customizing your pressure network catalog and configuring your parts list to include the required components. Here's a step-by-step guide:<br /><br />1. Open the Parts List<br />Go to the Toolspace panel and select the Settings tab.<br />Expand the Pipe Network or Pressure Network collection, depending on your project.<br />Right-click on Parts Lists and choose Edit or Create New Parts List if one doesn’t already exist.<br />2. Edit the Parts List<br />In the Parts List dialog box:<br />Switch to the Pressure Network tab (for pressure networks) or the relevant tab for your parts list type.<br />Under the Parts List tree, expand the list to locate the category where you want to add fittings and appurtenances (e.g., pipes, bends, tees, valves).<br />3. Add Fittings and Appurtenances<br />Add a New Part Family:<br />Click Add Part Family to create a new category for fittings or appurtenances.<br />Select a family type (e.g., Bend, Tee, Reducer, Valve, or other appurtenances).<br />Choose Specific Parts:<br />Highlight the newly created part family and click Add Size.<br />In the dialog box, choose the specific sizes and types of fittings or appurtenances to include.<br />Configure Properties:<br />Customize the part name, material, and other parameters in the Part Properties table for clarity and consistency.<br />4. Verify the Pressure Network Catalog<br />Ensure the parts you want to add are available in the current Pressure Network Catalog:<br />To check or change the catalog, go to Home > Create Design > Set Pressure Network Catalog.<br />If your desired parts are not available, you may need to update or install an appropriate catalog.<br />5. Apply Changes<br />After adding the parts, click OK to close the Parts List dialog box.<br />Save your drawing to ensure the updated parts list is preserved.<br />6. Use the Updated Parts List<br />When creating or editing a pressure network, select the updated parts list in the Pressure Network Creation Tools dialog box.<br />The newly added fittings and appurtenances will now be available for use in your design.<br />Tips:<br />Custom Catalogs: If you need additional parts not included in the default catalogs, you can create a custom parts catalog using the Part Builder.<br />Organize Parts List: Group fittings and appurtenances logically to make them easier to find during network creation.<br />Validation: Test the new parts list by creating a small pressure network to ensure the added fittings and appurtenances work correctly.
