AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Elevations

Mar 25, 2013

We are running Civil3d 2012. When converting a line or 3d poly to feature line, or just creating one it adds elevation points where it crosses surface breaklines even if you do not assign elevations. We want the feature to just have 2 elevations. The beginning and end. Is this a bug? Or is there another setting somewhere?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Edit Elevations Of Feature Line

Apr 19, 2012

I Created a Feature Line from Objects (a polyline).  I added it to Site 1, gave it a name, layer.  Do I Assign elevations during creation (conversion options)?

I set the Elevation to 8.5  (NOT From surface)

Then I go to

Modify Feature Line -

Elevation Editor.

Why are the elevations locked?  I want to set them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Feature Line Elevations From Points

Sep 13, 2013

Given a feature line/polyline(FL/PL) and a series of points directly on the FL/PL, how can you assign the elevations of the points to the vertices of the FL/PL?

Without using a surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Break A Closed Feature Line

Jul 28, 2011

I often use feature lines for parking lots and ponds.  They're great when they work, but they drive me NUTS when they don't - which is a lot of the time.  For parking lots and ponds, my feature lines usually close back on themselves.  That's when I have trouble breaking the feature line.  When I use BREAKFEATURE, I choose two points and this should, in theory, leave a gap in the feature line between those two points.  That's not what happens.  I end up with a huge gap between the first point I picked and a vertex point 5 or 6 vertices away.  It doesn't matter where I pick the breaking points.

I've also tried TRIMFEATURES.  I draw lines across the feature line where I would have chosen the breaking points.  But the portion that I want to remove is the portion that always remains.  It doesn't matter where I select the feature line to be trimmed (inside or outside of the cutting edges).

I think there may something wrong with the feature line itself.  Sometimes, if I erase the original and draw a new one, it will trim just fine.  But that's such a headache, and it doesn't always work.  If I knew what was causing the feature lines to go squirrely,  I would aviod it.  Unfortunately, it seems like breathing the wrong way can screw up a feature line.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Edit Feature Line Elevations In Profile View

Sep 26, 2013

I have a finished grade surface and I have a feature line that is my waterline. I created an alignment and then recreated my feature line so they would be linked. I can then create a profile using my alignment and that shows my surface at that alignment. I can even add the waterline by using project objects to profile view. 

I need to be able to edit the feature line elevations in the profile view by creating and erasing PVIs so this will tie back to my geometry.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Feature Line Some Elevations Locked With White Triangle

Apr 23, 2012

I have created several feature lines from which I graded to distance or surface.  I am trying to edit all these feature lines raising them by 0.5 ft.  In a few instances, I need to keep some of the elevs while raising others by 0.5 ft.  I am changing the elevation of individual vertices.

Some of the features lines all me to change all the elevations.  But on a few of the feature lines, I can change all the elevations except for one.  The feature line station for which I cannot change the elevation has a white triangle in front of it in the Elevation Editor instead of a Green Triangle like most of the points.  It's clear that the White Triangle means something that is not allowing me to edit the elevation of that feature line vertex, but I'm not sure what or how to fix it so I can edit it like the others.

Also, the Raise Incrementally icon does not work on these points with a White Triangle in front of them / does not change the elevation of them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Elevations Disappear When Plot?

Jun 24, 2012

Using C3D 2010.  Drawing looks fine in model and paper space.  When I try and plot (or plot preview) contour labels are gone!  How frustrating.  They will not show up again unless I restart C3D and open drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Breaklines Giving Wrong Contour Elevations?

May 19, 2013

I'm somewhat new to Civil 3D 2013 and have never encountered this problem before. I've got a top slope standard breakline (dark green line) and bottom slope standard breakline (light green line) with the highest elevation for the top slope at 72' and it gradually slopes down to about 54' within a 75' span. My problem, as you can see in the screen shot below, is I am getting 54'-59' elevation contours right next to a survey point with a 72' elevation whenever I hover my mouse over one of the contours. There are no nearby points with anything near 54' even outside of the surface boundary (shown in magenta).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Set Multiple Polyline Elevations For Contour Data?

Nov 13, 2012

I am working on three different projects at once. For each project, I was sent a drawing with contours as polylines. Each contour is broken up into polylines about fifty feet long each at elevation 0. I am trying to set the polylines to proper elevation without editing each one individually. Each drawing contains several hundred polylines to modify. I was hoping for some sort of way to use a fence and interval (2') with a starting elevation.

I've searched the internet but haven't found a lisp routine to do this. I thought I remember Land Desktop having something like this, but can't seem to find it in Civil 3D 2012. I have found several threads asking the same question. Each time the poster was referred to a blog 7629. That blog unfortunately seems to have been taken down. If I can’t find an answer soon, it looks that my best option would be to retrace each contour which makes me glad to be paid hourly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting Curved Feature Lines And Retaining The Elevations?

Jan 3, 2013

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?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Remove Feature Line Used As Break Line When Creating Surface

Dec 11, 2012

I needed to remove a feature line that I used as a break line when creating a surface.   When I removed the feature line from the definition of the surface, the grading did not change.  It appears the points created by the feature line remain which is why grading didn't change.  The only work around was to delete these points. 

I noticed the same thing happens when I removed the surface boundary and inserted a new boundary.  why these points remain and how to remove when I delete boundary and feature line from surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label Line

May 31, 2013

I have been creating contour surface labels, which utilize a 3-point  contour label line with grips to adjust, and this is my question:

when i create a single contour label, clicking specifically on a contour i want labeled, the contour label line with the 3-grips extends beyond several contours and thus places a label at every contour it touches.  i can manually fix this by shorting the line, but this seems very inefficient. 

1. is there a setting to have the label only placed on the center grip of the three?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Line Labels

Jan 23, 2013

I have my existing surface data referenced into my production drawing. I am trying to label the existing surface contour lines in the production drawing. I only have one surface in this drawing right now, so, I don't believe this is a multiple surface issue.

When I try to add single and multiple contour labels to the existing surface, I cannot select a contour line. I try to click on a contour line, using osnap, and I just keep getting prompted to pick a contour line.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Contour Elevations From Shape File?

Aug 16, 2012

I downloaded a bunch of GIS files for Baltimore City and am trying to compile them to make base tiles we can use for different projects.  I have tried using MapImport and MapConnect to bring in the shp file for the contours.  They come in but without the elevation.  The elevation is brought in as Object Data with MapImport, but is there a way to assign that to the elevation field in the polyline properties?  MapConnect brings the elevation in as part of the table but again how do I get that elevation assigned to the elevation field in the polyline properties?  I just assigned the elevations manually for the 10' contours in one tile.  I have to do about 50 tiles, and it seems like there must be a much better way to do it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export Point Coordinates And Elevations Along Sample Line

Sep 4, 2012

I'm working on a stream restoration project and we need to determine the x coordinates and corresponding elevations along a stream alignment at certain sample lines.  The centerline of the stream's alignment has been created as well as sample lines for cross sections at 50' intervals. We need the coordinates & elevations of each sample line (cross section) exported into an excel/txt document.

For instance, at station 1+00 of the alignment  we have a sample line.  We need to know to the right and left along that sample line the corresponding elevations and that x coordinate) from the alignment.  Primarily, whole contour intervals but more information would be useful as well.  I was hoping this could be automatically generated.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Display - Weeding Contour Line?

Jul 24, 2012

Is it possible to weed contour lines displayed in a surface based on the slope?  I am having an issue plotting construction plans due to steep cut slopes and flat adjacent areas.  I have several cuts ranging from 33%-50% adjacent to flat areas around 1%.  Due to the drawing scale required by the client and the .2FT and 1FT contours required to detail the flat areas, my steep cuts appear as dark hatches due to the tight contour lines.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Often Freezes Mid-command When Scroll Over A Contour Line

Apr 24, 2012

It happens during many different commands. The command itself doesn't seem to affect this problem. It doesn't always happen, but every so often, as I'm in the middle of a command, when I scroll past a contour line the program freezes. Sometimes it comes back to life after a few seconds of thinking, but sometimes it just sits there non-responsive forever.

Possible ideas:

-Contour Labels set to "Mask Contour Line Only"

-Dynamic Inputs on

-Selection Preview is on (but it's disabled for "When a command is active")

-Surface is shortcutted into the drawing

-Contours are from an XREF

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Projection

Sep 26, 2013

Is there any way to project feature lines into a profile when the plan view is xref'd? I have my plan view "existing topo" with all existing features/Figures and a existing surface.

My profile is a separate dwg with plan view xref'd and surface a data shortcut. Of course there are feature lines and Survey Figures in the existing top I want to project into the profile, but can't because it is an xref. Besides copying .

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Name To Label?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Arc Or Feature Line As Breaklines

Jan 7, 2014

I am building a surface and have back of curb, curb face, and curb flowline going around a curve.  I cannot create the lines with the usual pline as they will cross due to poor field collect.  I created the curbs with multiple arcs.  I was then going to change them into Feature Lines and am wondering if I can then use them as breaklines in a surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Feature Line

Jan 7, 2014

I am building a corridor with the right side of the pavement fitting to the existing surface.The subassembly used to link the edge of pavement to the existing ground is LinkSlopeToSurface.

On the corridor created, the feature line (code P2) of the corridor surface (top) starts from the station 0+025, instead of 0+000.

I was wondering why there is no feature line P2 for station range 0+000 to 0+025? Does that mean the linkage to the existing ground surface not exist for the slope defined in the subassembly?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Tie Feature Line To Surface

I have created the feature line in a grading sheet where the surface is data shortcut into it and I'm just using grips to make sure the ends are on the bottom and top of the retaining wall. Is there any way to dynamically pin/tie the feature line to a surface that has been data shortcut?
