How to Create Appurtenances by Layout & show labels property's in AutoCAD in civil3d

Creating appurtenances by layout in AutoCAD Civil 3D and displaying their labels involves a series of steps, including setting up a pipe network, adding appurtenances (such as structures and fittings), and configuring the labels. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Appurtenances by Layout and Showing Labels in AutoCAD Civil 3D

#### Step 1: Set Up a Pipe Network

1. **Open Civil 3D and Prepare the Drawing**:
- Open your drawing in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

2. **Create a Pipe Network**:
- **Ribbon**: Go to the `Home` tab, find the `Create Design` panel, and click `Pipe Networks` `Create Pipe Network`.
- **Command Line**: Type `CREATEPIPE` and press Enter.

3. **Define Pipe Network Properties**:
- In the `Create Pipe Network` dialog box, enter a name for the pipe network (e.g., `Water Supply Network`).
- Select a parts list that includes the appurtenances you need (e.g., `Water`, `Sanitary`).
- Set the surface and alignment, if applicable.
- Click `OK` to create the network.

#### Step 2: Add Appurtenances by Layout

1. **Access the Pipe Network Layout Tools**:
- **Ribbon**: Go to the `Home` tab, then to the `Create Design` panel, and click `Pipe Networks` `Pipe Network Creation Tools`.

2. **Select Network and Parts List**:
- In the `Pipe Network Layout Tools` toolbar, make sure the correct pipe network and parts list are selected.

3. **Add Appurtenances (Structures and Fittings)**:
- In the `Pipe Network Layout Tools`, you can add structures (e.g., manholes, valves) and pipes.
- To add a structure, click on the `Structure` drop-down menu and select the desired appurtenance.
- Click in the drawing area to place the appurtenance at the desired location.
- Repeat the process to add additional structures and connect them with pipes as needed.

#### Step 3: Label the Appurtenances

1. **Add Labels to the Appurtenances**:
- **Ribbon**: Go to the `Annotate` tab, then to the `Labels & Tables` panel, and click `Add Labels`.
- In the `Add Labels` dialog box, set the `Feature` to `Pipe Network`.
- Set the `Label Type` to the desired type (e.g., `Structure Labels`, `Pipe Labels`).

2. **Configure the Label Style**:
- Select the label style you want to use from the `Label Style` drop-down menu.
- If necessary, click the `Edit Label Style` button to modify the style or create a new one.

3. **Place Labels in the Drawing**:
- Click the `Add` button and then click on the appurtenance you want to label in the drawing.
- The label will be placed next to the appurtenance, displaying the properties defined by the label style (e.g., structure name, elevation, type).

#### Step 4: Customize and Adjust Labels

1. **Move and Adjust Labels**:
- Select the label in the drawing.
- Use the grips to move and adjust the position of the label as needed.

2. **Modify Label Properties**:
- Select the label and right-click to access the `Properties` palette.
- Adjust the properties as needed to change the displayed information or appearance of the label.

#### Step 5: Review and Finalize

1. **Review the Layout**:
- Ensure all appurtenances are correctly placed and labeled in the drawing.
- Make any necessary adjustments to the layout and labels.

2. **Save the Drawing**:
- Save your drawing to preserve the changes.

Summary

By following these steps, you can create appurtenances by layout and display their labels in AutoCAD Civil 3D. This process involves setting up a
