AutoCAD Architecture :: Creating Elevations / Sections From Curved Solids
Nov 27, 2013
I designed an upholstered furniture with curved surfaces. When I generate sections or elevation I'll see the invisible edges on curved surfaces! Is there a way to get the same result as the object viewer hidden line (or shaded with edges)?
2nd question. is there a way to control how many steps the surfaces are tessellated? The outline is not very smooth!

Elevation (too many edges visible)
Result of the object viewer.

Using Architecture 2012 and seem unable to get a column grid to show automatically in elevation views. Looks fine in plan view, bubbles etc all working once we sorted out annotative setting .

I'm new to AutoCAD and I'm having trouble in one of my designs. I've attached the photo so you can see it. The problem is, I need the line that currently defines the left edge of my curve to follow the curve of the cylinder. I want it to be flush with the surface so that the line becomes a twist.

I am facing the following problem:
I’ve got a 3D model with some blocks inserted. These blocks won’t show up in 2D or 3D sections or elevations.
When I leave only the blocks on and freeze the rest of the drawing, no section is created at all (“There are no solids or surfaces that can be projected”).
None of the geometry is on the Defpoint layer. The objects are printed and DO show up in the live section preview.

I am working on laying out data for some survey crews along the centerline of the road. I have a BC and EC elevation, but the vertices along the CL are at different elevations, which were the original elevation of the poly line before being transformed into a 3D polyline. Is there an easy way to make the full line follow the slope from BC to EC other than manually shifting the vertices?

have a good style to label cross sections at profile grade, top of curb, bottom of curb, grade breaks, and back of walks? Do I set a point or something in my assembly to use to label those points?

I'm trying to set up a height label for sections and elevations. I then want to update it with a shortcut.
I already tried it with a field that shows me the y coordinates, but it won't show me the "+-"0.00 sign,when I put it to zero level. It only writes "0.00".

I have a series of curved feature lines in Civil 3D where the elevation varies along the length of the curve. When I export the file in AutoCAD the feature line elevations are 0. In my previous version of 2010 civil 3D this did not happen but now I am running 2012 version and I can't find a way around it.
Why does 2012 Civil 3D not export feature lines the way it did in previous versions and retain the elevations?

I want to create sections and plans showing interior finishes. As walls are all of the same structure I used the split face tool. When applying 'paint' to the face it only gives me the options of materials not fill patterns i.e. hatches. How do I get it to apply hatches or is there a visibility setting that i need to change.

I just download my Revit 2012 and the Project Browser does not show options for Elevations and Sections.It only shows Floor Plan and Ceiling Plans.When trying to bring Windows or Door, it says it is not loaded. It asking if I want load it. Well! The next step has 20 something options but nothing to do with Windows or Doors. How to get out of this Nightmare?

I recently found a command on the internet that enables only solids in a .dwg to be exported to a seperate autocad .dwg, muggins here didnt take a note of the command and I have searched google ten times over to find it again but to no avail.

I am a tech illustrator taking our engineering models and creating dumb solids for architects to drop into CAD drawings. When I take an assembly and try to shrinkwrap it (with the Solid Bodies option) the file still has all the internal ribs and fillets and stand-outs. I have created extrudes to fill gaps and holes and even tried to create single pieces to assemble later to no avail.

I am currently working on a project with an architect and I have some elevations that are in the current floor plan sheet. During the last project review he wants to move them off the floor plan sheet and onto another sheet. No Problem. However when i went back to regenerate the elevation to copy to another sheet, I noticed that there were a flashing boxes where the old elevations were. Is there something there that needs to be purged somehow. I tried using the purge command and they are still there.

changing series of elevations, which are currently flat like plans, to an up right position. I just want to change the plane of the elevations essentially. This is being done in autocad 2011

I'm using "horizontal section" to make plan drawings of 3D circular columns in an xref-ed drawing. In the x-ref the columns exist as 3D solids made from extruded circles.
Regardless of my VIEWRES setting, the resulting 2D circle discretion is way too coarse and is presented as a polygon on my drawings.
The same applies to solids made in the same drawing, by the way, so I don't think the xref-ing has anything to do with it. Is there a to adjust this for sections?

I have a existing surface. I want to create a proposal surface so I can know the volume between boths. This proposal surface is represent for a disposal area that can be filled up to a elevation. I have a bottom of P-surface as a feature line at EL 1608, and I want top of P-surface to EL 1613.

I have a 3D model from a floor of a building, with 20 rooms on this floor. I have 3D blocks inserted as furniture for each of the rooms and want to create elevations from inside these rooms looking at the 4 walls to show the layout.
How can I position the viewports within each of the rooms to give me a 2D Elevation?

I would like to create sections from my 3D model that would directly associate the layers cut from the model. In other words, I would like the line work in the section to be on the same layer as entities in model.

I'm slowly trying to make the transition from AutoCAD to AutoCAD architecture.
The main thing that is confusing me is how to organise the project so that plan, section and elevation sheets will all update from the original construct whenever it is changed.
I'm confused about plans and sections...should I draw my section lines from the annotate panel directly onto the 'construct drawing' and then use that as my plan or should I create a plan view of the construct (...how?) and then draw the section lines over that plan?

I am trying to produce some longsections from a DWG Format Drawing i downloaded from a mapping website (promap) at the moment im going through the process of using a 3d polyline, snapping it to every contour i need, then viewing it from the side and drawing a longsection table around it (Pretty amatuer im sure) How is it possible to produce a longsection automatically using Civil 3D/AutoCAD (The contour map is made up of 3D Poly lines).

I am trying to generate my quantities by creating sections with template to do the cut and fill, however after i create the corridor and the corridor surface which should use the bottom of the curb, instead it is using the top of the curb. How can i change it so that it uses the bottom of the curb. It is a road crossection which i used from toolpalette, CIVIL3D 2012

I have a curtain wall I need to make, but I need it to be curve on elevation. Its an arch. I can do it on sketchup but I need autocad precision to establish the modules. I have this division settings, horizontal 3.111 vertical 3.559m.
The profile arch has a 40.062m radius. 27.741 arc length. and a total angle of 39.673.
My question is, how can I bend the curtain wall??? I can make a flat curtain wall to follow my referenced base curve, but I need tu curve it in elevation. Here is a demo view from sketchup.What i'm trying to do is the coloured face.

I have xref-ed two .dwg files into my drawing. They are on top of each other, and now I want to make horizontal sections from several smaller areas containing both files. However, when I do, all lines turn olive green and I loose the original layer structure (in the section, that is, not the original x-ref).
Is there a way to make these sections and keep the original layers in the sections? I'd rather not use xclip.

Is it possible to create manual points from a cross section.
For example, I want to create a surface from a sketched (hand drafted) proposed cross section by clicking on the different points on my cross section and having a point created in my plan view.
I am working with an ancient engineer who swears by hand drawing data into the cross sections, and then wants me to produce proposed contours based on this data. I am trying to get out of writing down the Station, offset, and elevation, and then manually creating points and having to type in the offset and elevation again.
Stuck on Civil 3d 2011 (until the end of this construction season)

I have some cross sections showing existing and finished grade. The finished grade is a channel and floodplain with slopes to catch existing ground. I’d like to create a report of the offset and elevation at each grade break for the finished grade. Optionally, it could be offset and cut or fill at each grade break. I’ve found the tool to create annotation for the offset and elevation info, but the cross sections are too small on the drawings to accommodate all that text. Is there a way to generate a report for the section view group or even each section view that would contain that information?

We have an interior space built out for a commercial project incorporating curved walls in 3D. We need to generate a 2D drawing to be turned over to the on-site architect. Generating a 2D section yeilds a faceted wall. AECFACETDEV has no effect on the curve quality. Is there a control for Horizontal section? Walls do not show up using flatshot so that is not an option.
