Panorama: Pipe Sample. Sample VBA

This document provides instructions for adding a sample VBA macro called "PipeSample" to the Civil 3D toolbox. It describes browsing to the VBA file location, selecting the "PipeSample.dvb" file, and setting the macro name in the properties. Once added, the macro can be easily accessed from the toolbox without modifying other parts of the Civil 3D interface. The document also briefly introduces the Panorama window as Civil 3D's interface for tabular editing and feedback for tasks like profile views, pipe or structure information, and volume analysis between surfaces.

way you work.

Panorama
The Panorama window is Civil 3D’s feedback and tabular editing mechanism. Designed to be
a common interface for a number of different Civil 3D–related tasks, you can use it to provide
information about the creation of profile views, to edit pipe or structure information, or to run
basic volume analysis between two surfaces. For an example of Panorama in action, change to the
View tab, and then select Palettes  Event Viewer. You’ll explore and use Panorama more during
this book’s discussion of specific objects and tasks.
