Is there a way to assign pay items to a selection set of closed areas? The tool seems to only allow the user to pick one object at a time.

I'd like to get areas from all closed loop polygons of my drawing and save them.
From my point of view, the function would be to:
- hatch every polygon of my drawing
- for each hatch do
- extract area and put it in an array with the variables (name of polygon and area).
And then is it possible to save it in a DWG or DXF file in order to reuse these areas by another program ?
Is there a way to assign a name for each PVI? Normally PVIs are automatically labeled by station, ie x+xxx.xx, what I want to do is assign it with a name, ie. CORNER 1, MID2, END3, etc. I used to extract data from Excel manually to do this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I import my points (.txt), all of the points go to whatever layer is current. They don't go into their repective layers anymore.
Also, for surface, the surface doesn't even show up now. This is the 1st time with this problem too. I created the surface, assigned the point group and still no contours.
Also, out of curiosity, during the point import stage....what is "assign offset to point identifiers"? does this mean, if points are right on top of each other, it will be automatically offset to read?

I have a sidewalk project with 5' wide sidewalk and the edge of sidewalk is 5' of the back of curb. All is fine and well, I have link slope to surface subassembly assigned to one side and a link offset and slope subassembly to the other side of the sidewalk. Everything daylights nicely.
Here is the issue......my link slope to surface subassembly is an 8:1 slope to tie into the existing surface model. There is one stretch of sidewalk where I have a retaining wall behind the sidewalk for about 15'. My section views are every 10' and in one of them the wall needs to show up. I could use the link vertcial sub assembly in this area but I am not sure how to use a specific subassembly in one area. Do I split that region up in my corridor, create a new region to use that references a new assembly to use in that 15' strectch which would contain the link vertical subassembly? Or, do I create the link vertcial subassembly in my current assembly and assign a station range to it so it doesn't show up throughout the entire corridor? It's like I wante to transition in and back out of a subassembly. Incidentally, I have one assembly used for the entire length of my project.
Can you set pipe structures and assign your own rim elevation? I don't want to use surface elevation.

Trying to calculate a catchment area to allow me to size some culverts using Civil 3D 2012 Sp#1.
" The specified location results in a Catchment with no area."
After sitting for 15 miutes I keep getting the above message. The surface is huge and there is an obvious catchment area (or I think it is obvious). The surface was generated from contours and cover an area of approx. 8Km x6.5Km but the catchment ares should be around 15-20% of that area.
I tried another one upstream about a Km and it worked fine. So the one I am doing now should encompass the upstream area as well as from that point downstream to the Discharge Point.
I'm working on a windfarm access road (5m wide with widening at bends to 8m) and I need to identify the areas of widening.
I've got the centreline alignment and created the 2.5m offsets to each side. I have also created widening on the insides of the bends using the widening tools and used a linear taper at entry and exit. I now need to hatch up the portions where the road has been widened to demonstrate compliance with the specification and the only easy way I can see is to export to autocad and use the hatch tools (not tried to hatch between alignments).
Whilst this works it isn't dynamic so if the alignment is adjusted the widening alignments are also moved but the hatching remains.

I have a bunch of polylines I want to display the areas for. I am using mtext and fields. However the fields format part always defaults to a less than desirable format. Is there a way to set the formatting how I want it for the entire file? Or is there a better way of labeling than fields?

is there any quick way to assign reference aligment to pipe network parts?
I use practise to create one pipe network and afterwards i expand my pipenetwork by editing with lots of aligments (create aligment from network part function i use). Bur there occur a problem in my profile view, when i want to represent station value of aligment and there is now reference aligment in pipe part.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I wish to do is to assign a set of points a sequence of point numbers (or custom properties) of my choosing. For example, I have the following points:
100
102
104
105
107
I wish to assign point 100 -> 1000, 105 to 1001, 107 to 1002, 104 -> 1003, and 102 ->1004. Basically, I am looking for a command or utility that implements the "TCOUNT" (using select-order) command, but for Cogo points instead of text. The renumber points command appears to only work with offsets, and does not eliminate gaps. I can sequence the points if I select the points I want, then copy them -> set duplicate points to sequence from the range I choose, but this does not allow for reordering of point numbers. I tried individually selecting them in the order I wanted, but didn't change the order in which they were numbered.
Alternatively, I can leave the point numbers the same, and assign a user defined property that I can use to sequence the points in the order of my choosing. However, I'm not sure how to go about assigning the sequence I wish short of typing in each value individually; obviously non-ideal.
A third possibility that presented itself to me was to create new, correctly sequenced points that overlap exactly with the old ones, and then somehow merge the two sets together. Would there be a way to merge the old points and the new ones based on the fact that the two points have the same X-Y coordinates? Preferably done in CAD itself; the last resort would be to export both sets of points out to excel, then do some fancy manipulation in excel, then reimport into CAD.

We are just starting to use the pay items through QTO Manager & Takeoff. Everything was working fine until...I deleted a hatched area that represented a Butt Joint quantitiy. Now when I go into Compute Quatity Takeoff & select the Compute button, this quantity that was deleted is still there. And, since it is now deleted, I can't find a way to remove it from the Butt Joint quantity. I've tried using "Removes pay item from specific objects." I've tried deleting all my quantities and starting from scratch.

simple road widening section
subassembly from centerline is LINKOFFSETONSURFACE out to a target alignment
next sub is good old LANEINSIDESUPER, using depths for PAVE1DEPTH and SUB-BASEDEPTH
the corridor definition under SURFACES specifies top links for both PAVE1 and SUB-BASE surfaces, but they appear to ignore that and cut across the road (see graphic) making a mess of it
do I need to add a link code to LINKOFFSETONSURFACE subassembly? other work-around?
I have a 100 acre park that I am doing earthworks. I have 1 proposed and 1 existing surface. The park is now broke into 5 different areas and I need to get cut and fill for each area. Is there a way to do a volume report for a particular area? I could define the area with a polyline. Or do I need to copy the proposed surface and start chopping up into 5 areas?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to import LAS files via Civil 3D 2011.
To do this I first turn the workspace to ''Tool based geospatial''. Then i assign a global coordinate system which is the same one as the LAS file i am importing. The in the task pane window (command: mapwspace) under display manager tab i right click on map base --> data --> add point cloud data --> create new index and then choose the file I want to import. Here i have some trouble; in the create new index window i am unable to assign a coordinate system, i can find the one i need but i cant select it (or any other), it persists on staying unselected. I am able to create an index without a coordinate system but I need it with the right coordinates.
Can you manually create a new cogo point and have it pick up the elevation from a 3D entity that you snap to?
I found this thread from 2010 that says no at that time.

Is this still not possible with C3D 2013?
I am trying to get the cut volumes for areas that are greater than 15ft of cut for my project. We know that we will be able to get the top 15 feet with heavy equipment but will be drilling and blasting anything greater than 15 feet of cut. This is a different pay item, with greater cost so we need to quantify it.
I've got a composite surface that graphically shows me the elevation bands so I can see the areas that are greater than 15 feet but I'm not sure how to quantify the volumes.
Currently using C3D 2012 with the volume dashboard extension. Have 2013 installed just haven't jumped over yet.
Need to identify areas of 100sf or less within slopes exceeding 40%. Is there a simple way to identify this within C3D?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I'm trying to add assign a Pipe Network to a profile view Band in Civil 3D 2011. I was using COM to add profiles to bands because I couldn't figure out how to do it in .NET. But when it comes to pipe networks I don't see how you can do that with COM. How the .NET implementation is supposed to work? Here's the code I have that works for COM, except for the pipe networks. I essentially need to assign the correct pipe network to the band.

Using C3d 2013. I am looking for a way to place the deflection angle of the PI of an Alignment in the label of a structure part that references said alignment. But PIs aren't an option when I select Reference Text type. Common sense tells me it would be under Alignments, but none of the PI data is an option of the Contents' Text Component Editor. I couldn't find it under any of the other Reference Text types either. I can pull the station value from the referenced alignment, is there a way to get it to tell me the deflection angle at the PI it sits on? Or even the difference in the instantaneous direction just before and just after the part?
I know listing the deflection angle of a PI is possible, as I have seen it in several examples of labeling alignments. I just want to place it in the label of other objects.who can tell me how to display LT (to represent left) and RT (to represent right) when the deflection is positive or negative respectively.
