AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Average Level Within An Area

Feb 18, 2013

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?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculating Average Parcel Area

May 16, 2013

Any quick way of calculating average Parcel Area?  I used to export to LandXML and do an area report in CSV.  That doesn't seem to be working for me when I export out of C3D 2012.

The workaround I found was to select all the parcels in Prospector, copy to clip board, paste in excel, find and replace "_Sq. Ft._" with 0, then do the average.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Map - Calculate Area-proportional (weighted) Average Out Of Metadata

Aug 6, 2012

I have an acad document connected to some .shp files, which contain polygonal shapes with some meta-tags.

I want to achieve the following: draw a polygonal shape and select all the tangent areas (I already know how to do so)take a property of those areas and calculate an area-proportional [or: area weighted] average value  (proportional to the partial area defined by the drawn polygonal shape). I tried to achieve this by splitting the objects and merging them again with defined splitting (area proportional) and merging (average) options. The problem is: splitting & merging doesn't work until I disconnect the data files (checking the objects out doesn't work) and even then I can't split the areas. And, more important: This doesn't create a weighted average and I don't even want to manipulate the objects! I just want to get one value out of all these steps.

I appended a screenshot of my file. E.g. I want to take the value 923.2 and multiply it with the corresponding area percentage it represents in the drawn shape. So the calculation would look something like 0.02*923.2 + 0.2*926 + 0.12*945,9 [...] until all the 100% are covered and I get one single representative value.

I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 on an Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 64bit Win 7 Pro SP 1 PC.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Calculate Average Slope

Feb 20, 2013

What formula Civil3D uses to calculate the average slope of a surface?

The formula I am using is S = I*L/A

S = Average Slope
I = Contour Invertval
L = Length of Contours (ft)
A = Area of parcel (sq. ft)

I just had to do four parcel calcs and the percentage I find using the formula is always 1-3% lower than the percentage Civil3D spits out. I can't find anything about how Civil3D arrives at that number, it just appears. I assume that Civil3D is more accurate but I can't give that number to a client without knowing how the program arrived there.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Average Elevation For Zoning Analysis?

Nov 8, 2013

We have to compute the average elevation along the front, sides and rear of a proposed building envelope to calculate the required set back.

Right now I am setting FL with elevation nodes at the required interval, assigning EG elevation and pasting from the panorama to excel to compute the average.

Is there a way I could create a toolbox report to do this? Maybe even from a profile report?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Area / Square Area In Closure Summary Of Mapcheck

How to changes the settings for the "Square Area" in mapcheck's closure summary.  When I right-click the dwg name in the Settings tab of Toolspace and choose Edit Drawing Settings, then Ambient Settings, I see the Area settings, but in the closure summary, there is also "Square Area".  Why are these both there?  It WOULD be nice to show sq. ft. as well as acres, but I can't find anywhere to edit it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Turn Off Level Of Detail View

May 29, 2013

How can I turn it off permanently? Or change the default to off? It's always on when I open my drawings.

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.

I am struggling to import .stm file into a blank civil3d file. it does import whith correct sizes and elevation. the issue is rim level of structures are the same as SSA file but it will make 2 meter sump depth to stuctures, thus structures invert levels are not correct. i just made a sump depth rule for structure and applied to some of them. it will correct it but as i have more than 1000 manholes in network it will be a major job to apply the rule. i know "apply rule" command will work a lot but i would like to know why it is importing whit wrong properties?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extract Boundaries From 2D Solid Level Band Surface Style

Jun 20, 2012

I'm using 2D solid level band surface styles when generating simple flood maps - In order to manipulate I generally have to extract the surface objects (faces or hatches) which gives me a single face or object per triangle within the surface.

I then try and get round this by using a combination of various Lisps and Union to wind up with a single boundary that I can then use in ordinary AutoCAD and 3rd party software.  However on big surfaces this is killing me as I have 50k+ triangles, so 50k+ faces or individual hatches, so its causing 15min long unresponsive stalls on my PC.

What I'd like to do is simply export the boundary of each level band to a polyline, or even better to extract the whole solid band as a single hatch object.  Is this possible within C3D as it stands, or is there a lsp out there

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export Profile Chainage And Level As Text To Import Into Hydrology Software

Nov 18, 2013

I need cross section information of a creek for a Hydrology program (DRAINS in Australia) and need to extract this from a surface I have created in Civil 3D.  I require the Chainage and Level for a profile which represents the creek cross section at several specific locations.  The information is essentially the data bands in a Profile which I can create, however I cannot see how to obtain this information in a form I can use.

the format of the data can be copy and pasted into Excel from which I can directly import the information into the software.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Area Not Shown

Oct 21, 2013

I am new to C3D and I have been going through all of the tutorials and learning everything I can from the given data, which has been amazingly useful.  Everything has been running spot on except today when I was going throughtthe parcels tutorial, I applied Parcel Number and Area to a group of parcels I created via the tutorial dwg file "Parcle-1A".  Everything displays correctly except the Area is not shown as it does in the sample pic.  I have applied the "Parcel Number And Area" to the Area Label Style, but it still does not display the area.  Only the Parcel Number.  Is there some part of this process that I am overlooking?  The tutorial dwg file is called "Parcel-1A".  It was too large to attach, but you can find all of the tutorial dwg files via the Help Menu.  It depends on your OS to where they are located.

If you go under Parcels Tutorial>Exercise 1: Creating Parcels from AutoCAD Objects, you can see exactly what I am working with.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Bounded Surface Area

Nov 24, 2013

I am trying to get C3D to report the surface area for a bounded area with no success.  I am aware of the Bounded Volume feature, which BTW appears to be retired in the 2014 release (AECCCFDBADDBOUNDEDVOLUME fails to produce any results). Obviously there have been some major changes.

What I want to do is retrieve a report for a defined section of a surface, regardless, of what type of surface it is.  I see this as simple as deriving the 3D areas of the trinangles within a bounds of a TIN.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Catchment Area Enhancements

Nov 15, 2012

I wish to have the ability to define runoff coefficient regions of a surface (using parcels, closed polylines, aecpolygons, mpolygons, etc...) such that when a catchment area is created, the weighted runoff coefficient is calculated. For a corridor surface, the runoff coefficient can be specified by the link code used to define the surface (defined in the code set style).

These surface coefficients should continue through pasting operations, i.e. a final design surface should have the runoff coefficents from the various corridor and grading surfaces used to define it.

Currently, I have to manually calculate the weighted runoff coefficient by first determining grass, aphalt, roof, areas per each catchment area.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Combining 2 Cut Area Surfaces

Mar 19, 2013

I have an oddly shapped "cut" area with various elevations that I want to create as a surface so that I can compare the volume with existing survey data. I've been able to get the basic "cut" template in 2 seperate surfaces, but now I want to combine them into 1 surface. When I paste one surface into another, the surfaces go haywire. I have attached a plan and cross section view of what the 2 surfaces (cuts) look like in relation to each other. how I could combine them into one surface and "trim" off the inside grading that overlaps..?
