Anders Blomberg Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I often work in close collaboration with especially the Civil engineer doing piping of different kinds (not to sure of the English terms here), for stormwater, sewers and freshwater, including retention solutions and calculations. Attached below is a drawing of what a typical drawing might look like. I started my own little firm a year ago and work has been steady so I'm considering hiring the engineer to be able to offer a more complete package. Typically the engineers I've worked with do this very old school with non-intelligent objects in 2D, in AutoCAD. Some have ventured into more advanced modelling in Civil 3D or NovaPoint but it's rare. So I'm contemplating wether anyone here has any experience in Vectorworks being used for this type of work? I guess for regular "dumb" line models in 2D I know what's available but I haven't ventured into the piping parts of the software, although I've noticed there are some tools for this.

Miguel Barrera Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I am a civil/traffic engineer and although there are no native tools to do my line of work, vectorworks can be adapted to do just about anything. Since there are no tools, I have developed my own with vectorscrip plug-ins 3 Quote Link to comment
