In the synchronization of gravity and pressure pipe networks, the transfer of data between MiTS and Civil 3D is a selective process.
The software is designed to copy particular physical attributes to maintain consistency in the model’s geometry while leaving some properties unaltered.
The table below presents properties involved in the data exchange.

Location X | Structure Easting for Gravity Pipe Networks (Sewerage & Drainage) Insertion Point Easting for Pressure Pipe Networks |
Location Y | Structure Northing for Gravity Pipe Networks (Sewerage & Drainage) Insertion Point Northing for Pressure Pipe Networks |
Ground Level | Surface Elevation At Insertion Point for Gravity Pipe Networks (Sewerage & Drainage) Insertion Point Elevation for Pressure Pipe Networks |
