During the integration of utility designs between MiTS and Civil 3D, users may encounter discrepancies in the terminology used to describe utility components between the two. To alleviate confusion, a comparison table has been created to align the terms used by both software programs.
Utility Components Terminology #
Civil 3D | MiTS | |
Drainage | Pipe Network | Running Network |
Gravity Pipes / Pipes | Drain / Pipe | |
Structures | Node | |
Water Reticulation | Pressure Networks | Running Pipe |
Pressure Pipes | Pipe | |
Fittings / Bends | Node | |
Appurtenance | Valves / Hydrants | |
Sewerage | Pipe Network | Running Network |
Gravity Pipes / Pipes | Pipe | |
Structures | Node |
Utility Properties Terminology #
Civil 3D | MiTS | |
Drainage & Sewerage | Start Structure | From Node |
