Underground cable long section — power and telecom cable routes
How to draw the longitudinal profile of a buried power or telecom cable route: minimum burial depth by voltage class, crossings, protective ducting, warning tape and a DXF export — in the browser, no CAD.
District heating long section — preinsulated pipe in profile
How to draw the longitudinal profile of a district heating network with preinsulated bonded pipe: two diameters (carrier and casing), cover to the casing crown, leak detection, crossings, the profile table and a DXF and IFC export — in the browser, no CAD.
Water main long section to DXF — step by step
How to draw a water main longitudinal profile: minimum cover vs frost depth, pipe centreline levels, valves and hydrants, crossings, the profile table and a clean dual-scale DXF export — in the browser, no CAD.
What is IFC, and how to export a utility network to BIM (3D model)
IFC is the open exchange format for BIM models. We explain what it is, why utility designers need it, and how to export your network from Altivo as a georeferenced IFC and 3D DXF.
How to draw a pipe long section (plan & profile) without building it in Civil 3D
Generate a utility long section — plan and profile, or "profile view" in Civil 3D — straight from your data, then finish the sheet in CAD: title block, revisions, annotations. A faster split of the work, not a CAD replacement.
Online long section profile software — from data to DXF
How to prepare a utility long section in the browser: input data, levels, gradients, stationing, crossings, the profile table and DXF export for further CAD work.
Sewer long section to DXF — step by step
From field coordinates to a CAD-ready longitudinal profile of a gravity sewer. A concrete walkthrough: import, gradients, manholes, drop connections, dual-scale DXF export.
