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 :: Adjust The Catchment Area To A Minimum Size?

Jun 22, 2011

I am working on basin areas for a very large project area When I use the catchment option, it will give me the immediate area around the point I have selected sometimes no more than a acre, and it is obvious that the contributing area extends well beyond the lines of the catchment area.  Is there a way to adjust the catchment area to a minimum size so it will look beyond the immediate contribution and search for the actual basin area, or am I just wishing/dreaming?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate Catchment Areas

May 1, 2013

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.

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

Oct 23, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: Can Laptop Run GPU Enhancements?

Feb 22, 2009

My laptop has this chipset as it's graphic card: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset

I'm running Vista Home Edition with 3G RAM and I just updated the graphic card drivers.

Photoshop's GPU options are greyed out, and I can't use the rotate tool. Does this chipset simply not have the capacity to support whatever the program wants, or am I just not configuring something right?

The laptop is an ASUS F80L (which has not much information online itself).

Photoshop :: GPU Enhancements Message Keeps Popping Up And CS4 Keeps Crashing?

Mar 19, 2013

When I start Photoshop, I get the message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video adapter manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
 
I have updated everything but this message still pops up everytime I open Photoshop CS4. Not only that, I tried to enable the GPU enhancements via Preferences but my Photoshop keeps crashing every time I try to click or do anything.

Photoshop :: Disable Graphics Hardware Enhancements In CS6

Jul 26, 2013

I'm running Photoshop CS6 on a virtual machine. (That sounds weird but believe me when I say it works fine in a VDI environment and that's not the issue.)
 
When it launches, it predictably throws the familiar error message 'Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver," etc etc. This error message is expected since it's the VMware Tools driver.
 
What I'm wondering is if there's any way to disable this popup. It says it has "temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware." What are those enhancements, and how do I disable them permanently?
 
edit: I have tried going into Preferences>Performance and tinkering with GPU options, but it's ghosted out as I have Design Standard.

Photoshop :: Error :: Display Driver And Has Temporarily Disabled GPU Enhancements

when I start photoshop, I get a message saying: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."

I have the latest graphics drivers installed, but this message does not always occur when I start Photoshop although the driver does not change. So, I guess there might be some other reason causing this error message.

I am running Photoshop on a Thinkpad with Windows XP Professional.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: No Area On Hatch

Feb 29, 2012

I have a hatched region that clearly has an area, however the geometry properties indicate that there is no area associated. This a a complex region with many PI's.  I really don't want to recreate this area.

Is there any way I can create a boundary around the hatch lines?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: SSA Area Inlets

Nov 28, 2012

My question is, in SSA how would you model an inlet in say a parking lot that is NOT a curb inlet but an "area inlet" that is in sag. For the project, we are using Neenah grates and so would like to use the Neenah inlet manufacturer.

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 :: 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 :: 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..?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grading - EG Covering Over The Cut Area

Feb 27, 2013

I have this problem with EG covering over the cut area.

The feature line is partially under the surface making a cut.

It should be a hole where EG and the slopes meet as the image shows!

When I make an infill for the fill area it makes the the bottom of the cut area but the surface stays as a top!

It is very clear in Object viewer!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Depth Area

Nov 15, 2013

For a surface: I would like to a boundary above a inlet point that is 3" deep.

I would like something like catchment area but the ability to specify a depth distance. Or specify a depth in the water shed analysis in the surface properties.

The only way I know to do what I want is user defined contours for each elevation. Is there a better way to do get a specific shed area for a depth?

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 :: Create Parcel Area Table

Apr 25, 2013

To workaround the missing API for creating Parcel Area Tables, I have tried the following:

1. Create a "pick point" selection set (using ObjectARX), containing the Parcel for which I want to create a table.
2. Execute the AddParcelTable command.
3. Programmatically push the Select Parcel-button and the OK button of the Create Table dialog using win32 API.

When the Select Parcel button is pressed, the label next to it displays 1 parcel(s) selected and when the OK button is pressed, Civil prompts the user to pick the upper left corner of the table, but the prompt is immediately interrupted with the message "Invalid 2D point" and the table creation is aborted...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section View Print Area

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Area Label Style

Mar 5, 2013

I have created a Parcel Area Label Style in code, and also added a text component to the style. The point in adding a text component was to expose a Parcel UDP on the label, but the text component does not display as expected (read: as it displays when the same thing is done in the GUI).

I set the LabelStyleTextComponent.Text.Contents.Value to the same string as I get when I add the Parcel UDP to the text component in the GUI (from the Properties-drop down in the Text Component Editor), but the label then just displays the "template", e.g. "<[My UDP(CP)]>", exactly as it shows in the Editor. When the style and text component is added through the GUI, the label correctly displays the current value of the UDP "My UDP" on the Parcel.

If I go into the Text Component Editor after having added the area label style and it's text component through code, and add the same UDP to the text component (so that it stores the UDP twice), then the label correctly displays the UDP value twice on the Parcel (!). That is, Civil then suddenly realizes it's a UDP.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Masked Area On Clipped Sheets
