Civil 3D Pipe Networks for Designers

Pipe Networks are one of the most powerful, yet misunderstood processes in the Civil 3D world. Even experienced users struggle with proper configuration and use of these functions daily. Join ZenTek Consultants for this one-of-a-kind class that will show you the true power of Pipe Networks.

This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.

Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk AutoCAD 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 AutoCAD Civil 3D.
