What do you do for gentle bends (<<11.25 degrees) in a 3" rigid forcemain? I have a 1000 ft long arc that traverses 33 degrees total (radius is 1850 ft). If I use tangents and 11.25 degree elbows I'm going to blow my easement, but I have been advised that the pipe is too rigid to bend to match...
Parts of Nashville, TN had >10" of rain in 24 hours with the storm lasting 36 hours or more. (100-yr/24-hr rainfall depth for Nashville is 7.53 in.) There is widespread flooding and a state of emergency has been declared.

Do you score your projects on the BIM-CMM? If so, how do you interpret some of the scoring criteria? How do you define a "model?" Is it just the 3D model or does it include other data components like spreadsheets, external databases, GIS maps, etc.?

I'm creating corridors in Civil 3D and one of my corridors is giving me the error "Point not on entity" for a 150' segment of the alignment. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
I'm using Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 version Z.77.0 with service pack HF2 on WinXP SP2.
I've been through the forum and haven't seen a single thread about TransCAD, so I hope I'm not shouting out in the dark here.
I'm working on an existing file, but unfortunately when I opened my Route Systems geographic (.dbd) file, it did not open the Route Systems layer. No problem -- add...
Can anyone rank the Civil & Environmental Engineering grad schools in Tennessee? I'm tied to TN until my husband graduates with his bachelors degree, so an awesome grad school out of state is no use to me.
I'm considering a PhD track, but haven't yet got my masters' and the fields I'm...
