Civil 3D Slope Across Pipes App

Have you been looking for a better workflow in assigning slopes to pipes, especially when they are not needed to be analyzed in Storm Sewers or Storm and Sanitary Analysis? There's a new app for that on the app store now!!

Check out Slope Across Pipes here.

This app allows for quickly setting the slope of a number of pipes within a common pipe network and applying pipe drop across each structure. The app allows for selecting pipes/structures in plan view or pipes/structures in profile view and offers two modes - by slope and by inverts. When selecting parts in profile view, the app also provides the ability to extract the selected point elevation from the profile to apply to the pipe network. For both modes, the app does not care if the upstream or downstream end is selected, nor does it care if the start and end points of the pipes are in the same configuration throughout. When applying pipe drops in structures, the app checks to see if the structure is not a null structure before applying.
