AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Elevation And Horizontal Transitions

Feb 14, 2013

I need getting a roadway to transition horizontally for a turn lane. If it were straight without super, it would be easy. However, the transition happens in a curve that needs to be super elevated.

I know I can use the lane transition assembly and set it to "change offset and grade" but with that, I would have to manually calculate my EOP elevations.

Is there a sub assembly with the ability to use the centerline super elevation data as well as transition horizontally?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Horizontal Axis Minor Tick Interval Display?

Jul 26, 2012

I have the bottom axis selected and trying to change my minor tick interval from 5' to 2.5' on the grid in the Horizontal Axes tab, but each time I type in 2.5' my minor horizontal tick intervals disappear. The lowest I can set my interval is to 3.5'. What is causing the interval to disappear? The major tick interval is set to 50' in the Horizontal Axes tab and my Major tick interval is 20' in the Vertical Axes tab with 2.5' for the minor. My Display settings have everything unfrozen and turned on.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Insert PI / Horizontal Alignment Labels

Jan 8, 2014

I have created a horizontal alignment with labels and would like to label the station at a drive entrance.  Do I insert at that point?  My label then says pi: x+xx.xx.  How do I have it just label the station?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Elevation Labels

Jun 26, 2013

I have a drawing that someone else created that has a spot elevation label for a surface. It labels the surface (PAD) then automatically subtracts a set distance for another elevation (GFE) and adds a set distance for another elevation (FFE). After doing some research, it looks like it was created with an expression?

I have two questions:

First, where to go to get a better understadning of this? I'm not familiar with expressions.

Second, where can I find the expression in drawing to make an edit to the set distances. I can remove the GFE/FFE as they are separate components in the label style, but I don't see where to modify the distance it adds or subtracts.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Elevation Labels

May 3, 2012

We work with Hydro graphic surveys that have large numbers of points. We would like to be able to display girded spot heights colored to represent the elevation. (Similar to elevation banding)

I have created a surface and then created surface elevation points on a grid with spacing of 15m. I have tried looking at setting up a style  that will adjust the color depending on the elevation ie 0 to -1 = red but haven't made any progress.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Offset-Elevation Labels In Sections

Oct 4, 2011

I have several hundred cross sections for a surface that I need to label the major section breaks.  Civil 3D gives the option of weeding based on distance, but I want to label only the major grade breaks (i.e. more than 1%).  Is this possible, or is the only option manually labeling the section?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cross Section Elevation Labels

Mar 21, 2012

Attached is a pdf showing the issue I'm having with the way elevations labels appear on the outside edges of cross sections. 

Issue #1:

I added the dimension to show that the bottom of the cross section is actually at 97.5 but is labeled as 98

Issue #2:

I would prefer the bottom of the cross section to be at an even elevation (98 not 97.5)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Removing Extra In And Out Invert Elevation From Labels

May 9, 2013

Is there a way to remove the extra (In) and (out) invert elevation from my labels? If the IN or OUT (I.E.) is the same there is no need to label them twice. So, can I remove them?  If you can remove them, how do you do it?

This is what I have

NEW CATCH BASIN A-11
TOP=427.30
I.E.(IN)=421.60
I.E.(IN)=421.60
I.E.(OUT)=421.60

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cross Sections Not Recognizing Labels Or Elevation

Feb 22, 2013

I created several cross sections for a roadway design utilizing sample lines. I created multiple sample lines along the CL alignment and inserted the cross sections without any errors. The peculiar part is when I try to inquiry or label any cross section, nothing happens. Using the inquiry tool, I get an message that reads "Warning: Specified point is outside the section view. Try Again." If you see the attached PDF, you'll notice that the point I selected is dead center of the particular cross section in question. When I attempt to use labels to mark elevations, in the command line, it repeats "Pick a Point" but does not insert a label.

I created other cross sections in the same fashion and do not have this issue.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dynamic Block - Unable To Get Text Orientate To Horizontal Position In Viewports

Jul 10, 2012

I made a simple block for a utility pole in plan view. It consisted of a donut with one string of mtext beside it. I had  created it so that the text would orientate itself to be horizontal in each viewport regardless of the ucs angle. I later added a line for a guy wire and made the block dynamic with visibility states. Now I am unable to have the text orientate to a horizontal position in the viewports.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Rotate Point Labels On An Elevation (facade) Drawing

Dec 7, 2012

Is it possible to rotate the point labels when working with point files from an elevation Survey in Ciivil 3D? When activating the labels visibility they are horizontal, but when I rotate the drawing  to a side view I am can´t see them.

So far I was working with Autocad (importing a dxf). Is there a way to rotate at the same time all the points labels, wich in this case are just text items?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Labels Change

Jun 26, 2012

I have a drawing containing a surface with contour labels. There are two tabs representing two separate drawings. On one of the drawings I want to change the viewport color of some of the layers so certain features will plot lighter than on the other drawing.

When I change the color of a layer within the viewport, however, the masking on all the contour labels takes on a color (not associated with the color of the layer they're on, or anything else for that matter). Once the masking takes on the color, you can't undo it. You have to exit the drawing without saving it and call it up again in order to have the labels appear properly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Expression To Test For Horizontal Angle Change

Sep 25, 2012

I would like to build an expression that I can use in a label at a structure in a profile view to show the horizontal angle change on the alignment at the structure.

Of course, in the available structure expressions, we do not have the alignment delta angle at that point even though I have a referenced alignment in my pipe network.

Our subdivision code has minimum drop across manhole for different ranges of horizontal angle change.

I want to create a label that shows the minimum drop required at a manhole off it's referenced alignment and I would like to see it on the profile view, because that is where the drop value is relevant.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Network Structure Elevation Change?

Aug 22, 2013

I assume nobody has been able to create a parametric part used for storm pipe networks that can have the pipes attached to a point within the structure other than the insertion, or have the elevation read from a point other than the insertion.

With that in mind, we are trying to develop a tool that would allow us to pick a strucutre, and set its "rim" elevation to a point on a proposed surface that is not at the insertion of the strucure. I am decent with lisp, but have not attempted to gather info from random points on civil ojects.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2D Elevation And Axis Lines

Aug 14, 2012

How to get the Axis line on a steel Member (W18) to show when creating 2D Elevation or Section of It.  I have been able to create center lines by placing a 3d grid and then changing from No Plot and it creates center lines on the elevation. But all jobs do not require a 3d grid so I would like the axis line form the member to show in the 2d elevation.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Elevation Of Survey Point Within Drawing?

Aug 28, 2012

I'm looking to change an elevation of a survey point within a drawing. I can see where it is possible to manually unlock the points from the Survey Database to allow the user to edit the point. I'm not seeing a method or property in the API Help for 2013 to do the unlocking with code.

Also is it possible to convert a Survey Point to a regular Cogo Point through the code? Or do I have to delte the point and then recreate it as a COGO point? I think this will be my work around if the above doesn't work.
