Part scaling

Hi all,

Fairly new to this and I know this is probably a simple solution but I just cannot figure out whats going wrong. I am trying to draw a pipe network, 1200mm structure with 300mm pipe. My drawing is in mm but for some reason everything is coming in way too small, my structures are around 1mm in size. I've tried annotation scale, changing units but nothing works and I'm out of ideas.

Car doored

Hi all,

To my excitement I ended up in my first ever accident yesterday driving round my estate. As I was driving past a parked car the rear passenger opened the door without looking straight into the side of mine and damaged the wing and door. They was parked mounted on a kerb and ahead of another car parked on the other side of the road, leaving me not much room to go through. They do also have a designated off road parking bay but didn't use it.

She has told her insurance about it and admitted fault on her behalf, of course I had to let mine know but have not claimed anything yet as they still need to find who's liable. I'm hoping with the above this should be relatively easy in my favour but with insurance I don't know.

I'm new to insurance and claims but I'm assuming even if the fault is theirs and I claim through it it's still going to affect my premiums? Any idea looking at the damage what this could potentially cost being repaired. Thanks!

Pressure Network

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to civil 3d and I'm testing the water with pressure networks. However, I've come to a bit of a point and stuck with modifying a pipe run.

I've currently made a run using an alignment, set up my parts list and set the deflection I need of 2 Deg and the segment length of 6m. I ran a design check for the deflection and managed to sort the issues vertically in the profile view.

However, my issue is trying to sort this in the plan along the alignment. I need to make adjustments ideally at the end of the 6m segments to use the 2 Deg deflection I'm allowed to run the pipe. Currently the alignment only allows me to edit the nodes at the middle of the pipe sections and the pipe fittings, these sections can be quite long so doesn't give the accuracy I need every 6m as the run is down a curved road.

I have also tried to do this manually but the compass will only snap to the standard pipe fitting parts angles(11.25,22,45,90), and won't allow me to offset the angles by the deflection.

Any advice or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated as I feel like banging my head against the wall!
