I have a problem with lines that begin and end outside the Z is zero, and polylines with elevation outside the Z zero. The difference is very small, for example, -0.00000112, or 0.00000078. I checked the possibility of using the Flatten command but does not always work, even though there hatches in the drawing. Polylines and Blocks also cause problems with the command by flatten.
View 7 RepliesHow can I fixing ( for example) attachment DWG contains too many elevation levels for ( Lines, Dim, Text & Layers) quickly, from all elevation levels into zero elevation level.
To explain more : When I am looking on top view it's good plan, but when I am looking on other Isometric view it's shown many levels . I need to fix every things quickly to zero level ?
I am trying to create a block with 1 attribute (ELEVATION) showing a finished floor level and another text (field) to show another level derived by the sum of the attribute value + and additional (fixed) number, say 100.
I have tried using fields inside an ATTRIBUTE or a simple DTEXT but the field does not update, it only picks up the DEFAULT of the attribute, not the user entered input. How can I do this?
attached is the block
I'm using the FILTER command to do this. I've added elevations 410, 420, 430, ect to the list, with a ** Begin AND at the start of the list, and a ** end AND at the end. Nothing gets selected.

I'm using the exporttoautocad command to convert a 3D drawing with a proposed surface (a TIN object) into a drawing with just contours (polylines with elevations). My original drawing is in feet and has a NAD83 state plane coordinate system.
Everything seems great in the exported dwg, except it is converting the elevation units from feet to inches!? A contour that was originally at an elevation of 7.0 feet, ends up at 7 inches in the exported drawing. Spatial coordinates are preserved.
I am working on an electrical plan and am having some issues setting the elevations on the lighting blocks that I inserted into the drawing. When I select all the lights at once to set the elevation (or Position Z, as there is no elevation option) to 14', they all go to different heights. I need them all to go to 14', which is the ceiling height. The lights that are recessed need to have the bottom at 14' and the lights that hang need to have the top at 14'.
Attached is the file for reference.
Is there a setting I can change so if I am drawing an object (line, polyline, etc.) if I am snapping to a contour line, the objects will NOT take on the elevation of the contour line?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an elevation label that will give me the spot elevation followed by the letters "TC" and then on the line below subtract 4 inches from the elevation followed by the letters "BC". It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue
i have some existing drainage pipe and structures in a base plan that i need to change the invert (which is the easy part) and the top elevation to the existing top elevation that does not meet the minimum presect in civil 3d 2012 is there a way to change these min. to match my exisitng elevation for example i have a catch basin invert is 15.45 top is 17.56 with a 18" rcp the cover will be less than 12" and i need to change this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI used the Volume dashboard to cal volume so when I view the surface in object viewer or 3D I see my TIN volumes surface at zero elevation is this right? I think the reason is because they want us to see both surface so they are not on top of one to another.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIts been a while since I have needed to change the elevation of a object.

Ive tried to use the CUI to find it but no luck.
View 5 Replies View Relatedmake a drawing to be flattened and set to elevation zero.
I do have the flatten command from express tools, and that works only to make everything to 2d, but i need a simple script routine to set all objects to elevation zero.
This is my current methodology
1. select objects
2. flatten
3. select same objects
4. explode
5. select same objects
6. explode
7. select same objects again
8. In property's, adjust Z axis to 0.
I fear that this is too long and bulky, and sometimes it wont work.
I also fear that any lisps routines are completely out of my league as i never used them before and my company never really had a need for them, but i am willing to give them a shot if it means that they will save me some time.
I am trying to make a autoamtic elevevation as attached. but still no luck, i dont know how to do it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAny way to label the elevation of an object where it is picked? For example, I'd like to be able to pick on the node of a feature line or 3D polyline (or any object really) and have a label placed that displays the elevation of the object at the point where it was picked. This could appear similar to the surface spot elevation label, but instead of getting it's elevation from a surface, it would come from the object where picked.
Alternatively, any way to create a label style, perhaps using the Note label, to display something like this? I don't even care if it is dynamic or not, static would be fine. However, I do need it to scale innovatively . Tool Pac has a feature that does this, but the label is just a polyline and text that is not annotative.

So I've got a Construct that is the building model. I also have a View file for my 2D extracted elevations. I've just 'Refreshed' one of the elvations based on some updates I did to the construct model. But when the 2D elevation refreshed, it's surface hatching (roof tiles) scaled itself down considerably. What controls this? I need to have that hatching scale back up and don't know how.
I turned the visibility of Elevation & Offset label off. How do I get it back. Not all just one spot.

I have a surface profile 1 and a corresponding water level profile 1 of a flood plain. Now I get an updated surface profile 2 and the engineer ask me to ajust the water level according to the difference of surface level 1 and 2.

I conducted 2 surveys on different days and somehow the second survey was off by exactly 0.9 (don't ask because I do not know). With the temperatures being -10C with a very high windchill. I said I would worry about it after the fact once I put it into CAD.
So I am on to Civil3D 2014. I imported the 2 .FBK files and was wondering how to do an elevation drop of 0.900m for just the one survey quickly.
In regular conditions de elevation of every object that I creat is Z= 0
Lines starting and ending points are at this level, circle centers -and circles as objects- polylines etc.

Second case: Just in case I rotate my UCS and having my drawing doing all my objects in the plane X-Z therefore my coordinate Y as default for every object, could I set up the Y coordinate as required?
