AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Active Viewport Boundary Highlight Is Offset?
Jan 2, 2013
I've been putting up with this problem for a while. I have a certified 3D device with a driver version that is certified (Quadro 4000) but the active viewport boundary highlight is out of place. The white lines in this image are my viewport boundary highlight which is out of position. This only seems to happen when I turn off the viewport layer. If the viewport layer is on the highlight appears as expected.

i need to know if there is any way to control the points in the point cloud.
1. either only import the point cloud in a polyline area i specify
2. add all the points within a boundary not limited to the pointclouddensity = 100, freaking default is 15 almost cost my job today. extremely stressed out right now.
i am talking about extreme lidar surveys. 1km 1km LAS/0.5m contours/xyz files times 355 of them. covers a 2km wide corridor. but i only need 100m wide after i define the road alignment. no need to have all the extra points.
right now i densify the heck out of it and end up like 5-12m points. decent but not good enough because the geotech is bitching about that accuracy is not good for some feasibility study. or is there any software i can do this besides civil 3d.
what i want can also do is automate the 'add points to surface" under point cloud and have the software do multiple boundaries without having me baby it over the night. right now every click is 5 minutes and adds like 400k to 1 million points. Civil 3D 2012

What difference does it make if the active layer is highlight in dark blue or light blue?
I should know this by now!

I had several rectangular viewports created which resides on the vport layer that is set to not print. I wanted to convert these viewports to a clipped polygonal vewport. I drew the polyline and clipped the viewport to that object and it worked for most of them.
If I had moved my polyline/object I was to clip the viewport into onto the vport layer before clipping, the process worked fine and the viewport border would not print. However if I had the polyline object border on layer 0 and then clipped the viewport, the viewport border (even though still on the vport layer set to not print) would then print/not display.
This time it was only a couple of viewports which I manually recreated, although for future reference is there a fix/trick to get around this if one forgets to move the polyline to be clipped onto the vport layer first before clipping?

I need an offset lisp routine to offset a selected line a set distance on each side of the selected line and change the layer of the offset lines to the current layer, and then keep prompting me to select the next line for offsetting until I'm finished.

I am trying to create a station-offset label style that will drop the trailing zeros in the offset section - e.g. 15' instead of 15.00', but if the offset is not at a whole number, e.g. 15.01, etc. it will display the entire offset.
I created two expressions: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
and this one: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)!=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
I then created two offset components, one called truncated, and one called full, and assigned the heights to match the expressions.
I have attached the file, the style is ACHD-Sta Off-Rt [copy]

I have a set of Rotated Dimensions in paperspace that are graphically offset from their associated points. I have not made any changes to the viewport, model or dimensions for this layout since the last time they displayed properly. In other words I found them like this when I opened the drawing this morning.
See attached image.
Command: list

DIMENSION Layer: "A-ANNO-DIMS"
Space: Paper space
Layout: ramp layout
Handle = a433

I used a 2d polyline to create a surface boundary for a surface created. The polyline is a closed loop. For the boundary type it is outer, unchecked Non-destructive breakline, and mid-ordinate distance = 1.
My problem is that when I do this I only get a small portion of the surface to show up within my surface boundary. If I don't have a surface boundary the entire drawing surface shows up no problem.
The purple polyline is my boundary and the light blue is the surface created within the boundary.

I have a drawing with a viewport that fits to the page. And I created another smaller viewport over top that just shows the legend. Now when I try to double click inside the smaller viewport it always goes into the larger one. I have tried bringing the smaller one to the front but that didn't work. I know that I can clip the larger viewport around the smaller one or bring the legend right into paperspace or slid the smaller one off to the side work in it and slide it back. This is more out of curiosity of how to get into the smaller viewport.

I have survey data of the inside floor of a pond ( the pond has a flat floor ). The surface made from the survey data needs to extend to the outline of the pond instead of the outline of the survey points.
I tried the smooth surface method of kriging with a grid base and I sellected the outline of the pond for the output region and that worked somewhat but there are still gaps between the boarder and the surface.

Is there a method to obtain the overall Site boundary? I have not found one, if there is, but it would sure come in handy when creating reports. We must always include the project Boundary as the first item in a report, so being able to add it to the existing reports would be a huge timesaver.

I have alignments that go in and out of a surface boundary (this is because I have a surface that represents the bottom of pavement.) I want to show the surface profile with the gaps in the profile view (where there is no surface. However in the profile view the gaps are sometimes connected with a straight line instead of being blank.
How can I have a surface profile represent the bottom of pavement properly? (An alignment that is not fully withing the surface boundary.) I know I could add the profile multiple time with different start/end stations But, I don't want that, I want it to be dynamic, as the alignment will change.

I would like to show the title boundary of our site on a profile in a way that is dynamic. Same idea than on cross sections, where you can create an alignment running along the title boundary and then show a block where the boundary lies on each cross section. I know I could project a cogo point where the alignment intersects the boundary.
This method is not perfect because, if the alignment changes and, therefore, the intersection point with the boundary changes too, the cogo point won't follow the alignment, staying at its original location. Hence, I'll have to update it manually. I tried using a feature line, but it seems I cannot show a marker only where it intersects the alignment.

The odd shapes are outside the daylight line. They follow a straight-line around the daylight limits (see third attached file), apparently triangulating unwanted areas. I've used a corridor shrink wrap for the surface boundary.
What is the best bet? I'd rather not draw a polygon along the daylight line and use it as a surface boundary, since it could change. Setting a max triangle length in the surface does not seem to provide a desired result.

I've attached a screenshot of the issue I'm dealing with. I have a closed polyline and when I first hatch the area it appears to be correct, but then I'll go do another command and then the hatch seems to extend beyond the boundaries of the polyline.

I have problems applying an Outer boundary to eliminate a small area within a big surface (and a few Hide boundaries within that Outer boundary): Civil 3D somehow creates extra triangles within my surface (that don't really make sense to me). I am applying the boundaries as non-destructive boundaries as I need the surface to extend all the way to my applied boundaries. The surface needs to be untouched (except applying a few Outer and Hide boundaries) as it is design data.

When I create a corridor surface I usually create a suface boundary automatically by daylight.Half the time this works fine, half the time it doesn't work at all. If I view the corridor in 3d view it looks fine.
I tried to create a shrinkwrap polyline to use as a boundary but when I picked the corridor in the shrinkwrap command
it locked up my computer. These are just simple corridors with no intersections. Why the automatic boundary only works intermitently? Is there a better/easier way to create the surface boundary?

I need to adjust a surface boundary. I need to remove a corrupted area in my surface. I do not need it. Is there any way to drag a boundary so I can exclude some of my contour area? Is there a command under settings on tool space that I may have overlooked? This surface was furnished by a client so I do not want to rebuild or alter except to exclude some contours.

I like the 'Extract" feature for surfaces, where I get get the contours or boundary of a surface in PL form without having to explode the surface. I have not figured out how I can do that same thing for grading objects. So far I have been exploding grading objects and then remaking them. Seems cumbersome.

I've set the corridor's surfaces to use the corridor boundariy & the datum's overhang correction to top links & bottom links, but for some reason it doesn't respect the corridor's boundary.

I use Civil 3D 2011. I have created a surface from a point group. Now i want to extend the surface to an outer boundary. To do so, i do the following steps:
- Select the surface and Extract the border object.
- Create feature line from the extracted border polyline
- offset this feature line (featureoffset) to outside specifying a offset distance and specifying the elevation difference as 0.
- Add this offseted new featureline as the boundary in the definition of the surface
- Rebuild the surface
Now when i am selecting the surface, I see that the featureline is not a part of the surface and I do not find the contours and the TIN extending to this new boundary. Also I still find the old border in the surface.
