Gravity Feed Networks for Civil 3D I

Gravity pipe networks are a powerful feature in Civil 3D, yet they’re often misunderstood or underutilized. This course breaks down gravity network configuration and layout, showing you how to properly set up catalogs and parts lists, create networks, and edit pipes and structures in plan view. You’ll gain the practical skills needed to confidently design and manage gravity-fed utility systems in Civil 3D.

This course is delivered in 2 two-hour sessions. A live instructor explains the detailed functions and addresses questions as the class progresses.

​Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk Civil 3D 2026. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version.

Prerequisite: Students should have a working knowledge of Autodesk Civil 3D.

Recording: Registrants for a course will receive access to a recording of each session for 7 consecutive days. Access will start the next business day after the session ends.
