00:09Now we're going to continue in this drawing and check for clashes between the storm and
00:14sanitary networks. From Prospector, under Networks, right-click on Interference Checks
00:21and choose Create Interference Check. In the drawing, pick a part on the storm network
00:28and then pick a part on the sanitary network. In the Create Interference Check dialog,
00:36click on 3D Proximity Check criteria. Apply 3D Proximity Check should be selected. The
00:45used distance should be set to one foot. This will check for parts that are closer together
00:50than one foot. Click OK and then click OK again. Civil 3D will run the Interference Check and then
01:02display a message showing how many interferences were found. In Prospector, select the newly created
01:09Interference Check. In the Item List view, click on the first interference, right-click and choose Zoom
01:17to. Review the Interference. Repeat this for the second Interference Check.
01:28This time, there's not a hard clash, but it's a proximity clash.
01:33You could now adjust the networks to remove the interferences.
01:38Now we'll create a table in the drawing from our storm network. From the Annotate ribbon tab,
01:44Labels and Tables panel, click on Add Tables, then Pipe Network, then Add Structure.
01:53In the Structure Table dialog, set the table style to Structure with Pipes.
02:00Buy Network is selected and the network should be set to Storm 1. Click OK to create the table.
02:08Place the table in the drawing away from the design. The table displays the structure information as well
02:16as details of both the incoming and outgoing pipes. Note that the structures are not displayed in any
02:24order. To sort the table, select it, then right-click and choose Edit Table Style.
02:33In the Table Style, on the Data Properties tab, select Sort Data and ensure the sorting column is set
02:41to 1 and then click OK. The table in the drawing is now sorted properly.
02:48Finally, we'll create a report from our networks. In the Toolspace, click on the Toolbox tab.
02:57Expand Reports Manager, then expand Pipes.
03:02Select the Pipes and Structures report. Right-click and choose Execute.
03:08In the Export to XML dialog, deselect everything. Then scroll down and select Pipe Networks and then click OK.
03:20Set the report type to HTML and enter a name for the report. Click Save.
03:28The report should open in a web browser.
03:33It contains information about the structures and pipes for both the store and the structure in the
