AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Any Way To Set Level Of Detail Feature?
Mar 11, 2013I dont see any way to do this, maybe it is not possible ?
Where can I see it settings ? (if possible)

I'm trying to use the Level of Detail function to add a hole feature in a sub assembly that will be used in 2 places inside the main assembly, but the sub assembly is present in many other location and does not need this hole. My thought is to have the master level of detail depict the hole feature and have another level of detail with this hole suppressed.I can't get the two levels of detail to save the desired outcome. When I switch LODs, the hole feature will not suppress or unsuppress as desired. Is this possible or am I doing something wrong.

I save the files with it off, but when I reopen, it's still on. A real pain in the butt when plotting since if I batch plot, all of my contours are off, which eliminates using batch plot entirely. Luckily, I only have 5 figures at the moment, but once we get to design phase I will have many more and require batch plotting.
I'm using civil3d 2013, I have never run into this before with any other versions.
Is it possible to set a view representation and level of detail (combine them) at the same time in an assembly. Or do they have to be set individually?
Attached images show the first assembly option with four sections together. The second image shows the second assembly option with the top and bottom sections only.
Is there a way to disable the level of detail? I personally find this feature most annoying.
I am now starting to understand it after being tripped up by it early in my Inventor carrier.
But even now in understanding it more, I see no point in it.
The problem I have is I can have more then one level of detail in my model to show a specific way in my
one drawing. Then this specific level of detail when changed for a different drawing will screw with the first drawing.
Why can't one just suppress certain items without having to worry about this. Heck, isn't this what Iparts and iassemblies are for?
anyway to get the level of detail into text in an idw?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating a large assembly that will contain many level of details. When I complete a "section" of components, I create a LOD for just that section (all other components suppressed). However, all the components I add after that LOD has been created are added to that LOD. I would like all additional components to be automatically suppressed, unless I have that LOD active.

I have an assembly and using ilogic to control the wide of the machine.The wider machine has some different brackets which I am turning on and off by using "component . IsActive" in ilogic.
I had to make a new level of detail for it to work, and this is all fine except everytime I open this assembly it defaults back to master level of detail, so I always get this error.
How do I control level of detail with ilogic or how am i suppose to turn parts on and off.I have seen some impressive assemblies controlled with ilogic how do they do it.
I know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.
But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?
Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.
When i set a specific Plane in my new Level of Detail (Right click on the box set this view as "top") and save, i switch back to master and now the view from the new level of detail transferred over.
How can i make custom top,front,right niews for my new level of detail so it wont affect other details (especially my master view).
I've created a view in my presentation file and tweaked all my components to where I want them. How do I change the level of detail associated with a particular explosion already created? I know when you create the view you can select which representation and level of detail to use, but how do you change these after the exploded view is created?

I would like to move it up near the top of the list so that similar levels of detail are grouped together.

I'll use this for driving a weldment : when the weld is on the bead parameter = 6 when the weld is off the bead parameter = 0.1
Can I have an assembly cut and make a couple of view reps or level of details so that one has the assembly cut and one does not.

View 8 Replies View RelatedFirst, is there a way to add a new part to an assembly and it only be added to the active Level of Detail (and the Master, of course)? It is adding a significant source of potential error when adding a part to an assembly when you have to make sure to go back and change the status of a newly added part in each Level of Detail.
Secondly, is there a better solution than using Levels of Detail in the first place? We typically have assemblies that are in a few stages: 1) an empty shell 2) shell with ballast 3) shell with ballast and fill material. I have started using Levels of Detail to suppress components at each of those 3 stages because it is important that we have accurate weights for each stage. Our assemblies are not terribly large so memory usage is not really a problem, and I have read on Levels of Detail it is usually useful in a memory management situation.
Lastly, is there any good reason to not be able to save a Level of Detail when there is a positional representation active?

It seems that Views are easier to use, are there any benefits of View option over Level of Detail and vice versa?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can find a method to copy a Design View to a Level of Detatil (DesignViewRepresentation.CopyToLevelOfDetail)
But the opposite way (i.e. LevelOfDetailRepresentation.CopyToDesignView) doesn't seem to exist - it is possible in the GUI.
Will I have to traverse the complete structure and set visibillity one by one to obtain the function then? Or are there a better/faster way to go?
If Inventor 2010 has the capability of showing certain parts/sub-assemblies in phantom style lines on the idw/dwg file?
I have a box unit, where I want to show the base, but with the posts meeting it in phantom. Then when I do the drawing for the posts, I want the base and roof in phantom. Then when I do the roof drawing, I want the posts in phantom again.
I can't change the BOM level as it will apply to every level of detail. when suppressed, they completely vanish. Is there a way to do it rather than find the parts in the browser (whilst in the drawing) and change the properties (over-riding them)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRevit 2013: Was playing around with sketching symbolic lines in a Generic Model family. I added a line and changed its LOD to be visible in fine only. Nevertheless, it was still visible in the family editor even when the view was set to coarse.
1) How can we verify visual behavior of a family while in the family editor if the objects visibility is not governed by LOD settings? (BTW: The family performs correctly when loaded in the project, just not in the family editor).
2) Is the fact that LOD is ignored in the family editor by design or a bug?
3) Is there any visual cue that tells us that a particular line will be not visible at a LOD?
4) Should we be duplicating Ref. Level views in the family to keep things straight?
In order to reflect production process, I have to create holes on the bent pipe at assembly level after 2 bent pipes are welded to the straight pipe. Now when I suppress holes, it does not suppress only at LOD or view rep but throught the whole assembly.
Is it possible to suppress features such as hole using LOD or view rep, which are made at the assembly level? or I have to use another method? See below in highlighted.
I have been able to undertake this with other software and have desperately tried to find this same function in Civil 3D .
Is there a command that returns the average level of any particular surface within a specified area, for instance if we have a generated a large surface and then draw a square in the middle of the surface, can it calculate the average level within the square only?

My question is about a structure with 2 or more pipes at different level and needed to define the height for each one to the surface level (rim level).
