AutoCAD 2010 :: Point Grid To Surface
Mar 21, 2012I have a grid of around 100 points which are spread reasonably evenly.
I need to turn them into a surface as to see the height change between the points more clearly.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Using Break Switches Off Snap (Grid) For First Selected Point
Oct 6, 2011I set a snap for ease of use, e.g. if my intended output scale is 1:50 I will set my snap to 25, this makes drawing lines fast and simple.
When I used the break command in previous versions (I skipped 2011) the break would keep the snap on so I could break either side of a line with a perfect unit gap.
In 2012 when I select the first point it disregards the snap and just puts the break wherever I select on the line meaning the gap is not neat. Is there anyway to put this back the way it was?
AutoCad 2D :: Create Point On A Grid
Apr 16, 2013the autocad can create points on grid? I must stipulate the points to be sampled in the field / map, and would be a nice increase for the company. I'm sending a map, and I need a point every 2500 m square. I managed to do manually. I picked a line and divide segments of it with the command point. But I had to use the "copy" in each row of dots and copy down.
The attachment is a map with 32,81 ha ( 328100 m 2). That is, I need 4 points per hectare (10,000 square meters) in total 131 dots ( points )
In short, it is possible, in this map make a grid of points 2500m square from each other?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Slopes On Grid
Nov 20, 2013I was wondering if it's possible to add surface slopes on grid (similar to how there is a tool for adding spot elevations on grid). I can do them individually at a grid spacing but that's tedious, and considering you can add spot elevations on a grid, I'm not sure why this wouldn't be possible.
If there isn't a built-in tool for this, would it be possible to make a block of a bunch of one-point spot slopes and you simply choose which surface & the insertion point when you insert the block?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grid Surface Simplification Tools?

May 30, 2012how to match up certain points. I have imported 2 point clouds and have tried to use the 'align' tool to specify three points from the source object (cloud) and three points from the destination object (cloud). When doing this, it does not properly align them. The point cloud makes it difficult to select the exact point I would like to align, since there may not be a point at that exact location, but close to it. Does AutoCAD require the points in alignment to match up perfectly or is it capable of doing a best fit?
Also, is AutoCAD capable of creating a solid 3D piece from the point cloud? I would like to take all of my points and make a smooth object.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Surface And Data Point
Feb 11, 2013I'm working on a topo survey and the contours are crossing each others (See attached pic) and what I did was edit the surface by adding points. I know that these points are fake, but how does this affect the terrain surface for design point of view? I did try swapping edge and deleting lines but makes it worse. Also as you can see in the pic, I don't see the added points like it did back C3D 2008.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Surface Not Using Correct Subassembly Point

May 10, 2012I'm currently working on a site layout and came across a problem. The drawing that I have has the site layout with all the points and contour lines included. However, the drawing is exploded. Now, I want to get the point properties and surface properties from this file, but it seems like it isn't the original file and it has been edited. This file also does not come with a point file or surface file. Is there a method to get the point, surface or elevation properties from this drawing?
Also, I have heard that you can create a new drawing and create a surface to read the surface properties of the drawing. Is that possible?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Limitation On Creating Surface From LAS Files
Jun 6, 2013I am having a problem using 2014 civil 3D. When I import las files and create a point cloud, and go on to make a surface from those points, it is limiting the "number of points added" to 340134. I am using the lidar las files which each tile or file has an average of 12 million points, and I have tried to create a surface using one file, and up to 28 tiles (where there should be 340 million points). Regardless, one of the files contains 12 million points and I do have the "point density" set to 100, and the "real time density" set to 100. Why will it only use 340,134 points? I have tried all options from "point cloud extents" to "window" and same result. All the points from the cloud are there and displaying fine, it just seems civil 3d is limiting the number of points used for surface.

Surface does exist as we can see the triangles/contours or whatever we choose to display. When we run the Water drop command, we are getting a message saying that the point is outside of the surface. We have selected a valid surface by both picking it visually and selecting it from the dialogue. All layers are on and thawed and we are picking well inside of the surface.
Why it would be telling us that the point is outside the surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Updating Surface To Recognise Modified Point Cloud
Dec 13, 2012I have a surface based on a point cloud. I decided to add a few more tiles of data to the point cloud and was expecting that the surface would update (after rebuilding) to include the new extents - but there was no change. The surface doesn't have any boundaries or breaklines but does have edits.
Do I need to add points to surface again? Will this duplicate the orignal point data or would it just add the new data. I didn't want to lose my edits if possible.
