### **How to Draw a Pressure Network in Profile View in Civil 3D** <br /><br />In **Civil 3D**, you can display a **Pressure Network** in a **Profile View** to visualize pipes, fittings, and appurtenances along an alignment. Follow these steps to draw a pressure network in **Profile View**: <br /><br />---<br /><br />## **Step 1: Create or Select a Pressure Network** <br />1. Open your **Civil 3D** drawing. <br />2. If you haven't created a **Pressure Network**, go to: <br /> - **Home tab > Create Design > Pressure Network Creation Tools** <br /> - Choose **From Parts List** or **From Object**. <br />3. If a **Pressure Network** already exists, ensure it's assigned to an **Alignment**. <br /><br />---<br /><br />## **Step 2: Create a Profile View** <br />1. Click **Home tab > Create Design > Profile View > Create Profile View**. <br />2. Select the **Alignment** associated with the Pressure Network. <br />3. Follow the wizard to generate the **Profile View**. <br /><br />---<br /><br />## **Step 3: Project Pressure Network to Profile View** <br />1. Select the **Pressure Network** in the **Plan View**. <br />2. Click on the **Pressure Network contextual ribbon** and choose: <br /> - **Draw Parts in Profile View** <br />3. Select the **Profile View** where you want to display the network. <br />4. Click **OK**, and the pipes, fittings, and appurtenances will appear in the Profile View. <br /><br />---<br /><br />## **Step 4: Adjust Pressure Network Elevations** <br />1. Select the **Pressure Network** in the **Profile View**. <br />2. Open the **Pressure Network Editor** (Modify tab > Edit Pipe Network). <br />3. Adjust the **Pipe Elevations** by: <br /> - **Manually dragging nodes** in Profile View. <br /> - Using **Edit Pressure Pipe Elevations** to set values precisely. <br />4. Click **Apply** and **OK** to finalize changes. <br /><br />---<br /><br />## **Step 5: Customize Display & Labels** <br />1. Open **Toolspace > Settings > Pressure Network** and modify the **Profile View Styles**. <br />2. Go to **Annotate tab > Add Labels > Pressure Network Labels** to add elevation and station data. <br /><br />---<br /><br />### **Final Tips:** <br />✅ Ensure the Pressure Network is assigned to the correct alignment. <br />✅ Use **Edit Pressure Pipe Elevations** to align pipes with existing infrastructure. <br />✅ Adjust **Profile View Style** to improve visibility of pressure pipes and fittings. <br /><br />Would you like a **video demonstration** for better clarity 🚀
