AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Surface Boundary To Polyline

Feb 1, 2013

I need to convert my surface boundary to a polyline so I can use it to clip another surface. Is there a simpler way than tracing it with the polyline command?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Boundary Only Showing Portion Of Surface Within The Boundary

Oct 24, 2012

I used a 2d polyline to create a surface boundary for a surface created.  The polyline is a closed loop.  For the boundary type it is outer, unchecked Non-destructive breakline, and mid-ordinate distance = 1.

My problem is that when I do this I only get a small portion of the surface to show up within my surface boundary.  If I don't have a surface boundary the entire drawing surface shows up no problem.

The purple polyline is my boundary and the light blue is the surface created within the boundary.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Force Grading Object To Polyline Boundary?

Mar 4, 2013

I am working on a complex industrial site.  And I would like a constant grade of 3.00% from my road intersections to the edge of curves.  I know if I used a corridor, I'd be able to tell the grading to project ot the edge of the road/curve. 

I'm just wondering if I can tell a grading object to project to a polyline or feature line along a intersection curve?  There are many reasons as to why I'm not using corridors for this project, but I don't want to get into that.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Illegal (self-intersecting Or Non-closed) Boundary Polyline

May 1, 2012

I always get the message after I make a closed boundary polygon, and I know it's a closed boundary, but I know how to fix it.  It just bugs me sometimes when the message pops up when I add it as a boundary under the definition of a surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extending Surface To A Boundary

Feb 23, 2013

I have survey data of the inside floor of a pond ( the pond has a flat floor ). The surface made from the survey data needs to extend to the outline of the pond instead of the outline of the survey points.

I tried the smooth surface method of kriging with a grid base and I sellected the outline of the pond for the output region and that worked somewhat but there are still gaps between the boarder and the surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Profile Boundary

Aug 14, 2013

I have alignments that go in and out of a surface boundary (this is because I have a surface that represents the bottom of pavement.)  I want to show the surface profile with the gaps in the profile view (where there is no surface. However in the profile view the gaps are sometimes connected with a straight line instead of being blank.

How can I have a surface profile represent the bottom of pavement properly? (An alignment that is not fully withing the surface boundary.) I know I could add the profile multiple time with different start/end stations But, I don't want that, I want it to be dynamic, as the alignment will change.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Boundary Blows

Aug 7, 2012

The odd shapes are outside the daylight line.  They follow a straight-line around the daylight limits (see third attached file), apparently triangulating unwanted areas.  I've used a corridor shrink wrap for the surface boundary.

What is the best bet?  I'd rather not draw a polygon along the daylight line and use it as a surface boundary, since it could change.  Setting a max triangle length in the surface does not seem to provide a desired result.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Applying Boundary To Surface

May 14, 2012

I have problems applying an Outer boundary to eliminate a small area within a big surface (and a few Hide boundaries within that Outer boundary): Civil 3D somehow creates extra triangles within my surface (that don't really make sense to me). I am applying the boundaries as non-destructive boundaries as I need the surface to extend all the way to my applied boundaries. The surface needs to be untouched (except applying a few Outer and Hide boundaries) as it is design data.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Surface Boundary

May 22, 2012

When I create a corridor surface I usually create a suface boundary automatically by daylight.Half the time this works fine, half the time it doesn't work at all. If I view the corridor in 3d view it looks fine.

I tried to create a shrinkwrap polyline to use as a boundary but when I picked the corridor in the shrinkwrap command

it locked up my computer. These are just simple corridors with no intersections. Why the automatic boundary only works intermitently? Is there a better/easier way to create the surface boundary?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adjusting Surface Boundary

Jun 18, 2012

I need to adjust a surface boundary. I need to remove a corrupted area in my surface. I do not need it. Is there any way to drag a boundary so I can exclude some of my contour area? Is there a command under settings on tool space that I may have overlooked? This surface was furnished by a client so I do not want to rebuild or alter except to exclude some contours.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extend A Surface To Outer Boundary

May 21, 2013

I use Civil 3D 2011. I have created a surface from a point group. Now i want to extend the surface to an outer boundary. To do so, i do the following steps:

- Select the surface and Extract the border object.
-  Create feature line from the extracted border polyline
- offset this feature line (featureoffset) to outside specifying a offset distance and  specifying the elevation difference as 0.
- Add this offseted new featureline as the boundary in the definition of the surface
- Rebuild the surface

Now when i am selecting the surface, I see that the featureline is not a part of the surface and I do not find the contours and the TIN extending to this new boundary. Also I still find the old border in the surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Surface Boundary When Using OverlayWidenMatchSlope Subassemblies

Jul 12, 2012

I'm creating a corridor to widen a road on the left and right sides.  I am using OverlayWidenMatchSlope, with various other subassemblies.  In places it daylights, in places there's a cut wall modeled from generic links.  I am trying to create a good boundary for the corridor surfaces but I'm puzzled by one thing.  The OWMS subassembly has a P2 code, but the corridor will not generate a featureline connecting the P2 codes.. 

I will try adding another baseline, and a new subassembly that will just use a generic link to target the sawcut line (the insert point for OWMS).  That should give me a featureline I can use for a surface boundary.  Is there a way to generate that featureline from the inside edge (the insert point) of the OWMS subassembly?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Produce Projection On A Surface (from Polyline)?

Jan 30, 2012

I have started to use CIVIL3D 2007 instead of LAND-DESKTOP 3.

My question is: When I used LDD I created a surface, then drew a polyline and by right-clicking chose "Project object".

This option produced many new points along my polyline which I used for my design.

When I tried this with CIVIL 3D I couldn't find this option.

I can create a quick profile, however, this is not good for me because I need the data as a collection of points with coordinates & elevation, and not as an image.

Is there any way to produce a projection on a surface (from a polyline)?

Or getting some information from the quick profile in the way I need?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert A Feature Line To A 3d Polyline?

Jul 13, 2011

Feature lines are easy to make and great for grading.  However, when I try to save the drawing into *.dxf, all the feature lines disappeared. Does this mean DXF files do not take feature lines?

I need the DXF files to up load into GPS.  Do I have to redraw everything in 3D polyline?Or is there an easier way to convert feature lines into 3D polylines?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Polyline To Feature Line For Use In Grading

I'm working on crane pads for a windfarm development and have run into an issue that has never happened in the other 60 or so ones I've done previously.

I have a polyline (elevation added in via Properties) that I want to convert to a feature line for use in grading but when I try to convert I get the message below

When I check the properties and do a LIST the list reports a negative elevation.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Query Point Cloud Boundary Then Add All Points Within Boundary

Nov 9, 2012

i need to know if there is any way to control the points in the point cloud.

1. either only import the point cloud in a polyline area i specify

2. add all the points within a boundary not limited to the pointclouddensity = 100, freaking default is 15 almost cost my job today. extremely stressed out right now.

i am talking about extreme lidar surveys. 1km 1km LAS/0.5m contours/xyz files times 355 of them. covers a 2km wide corridor. but i only need 100m wide after i define the road alignment. no need to have all the extra points.

right now i densify the heck out of it and end up like 5-12m points. decent but not good enough because the geotech is bitching about that accuracy is not good for some feasibility study. or is there any software i can do this besides civil 3d.

what i want can also do is automate the 'add points to surface" under point cloud and have the software do multiple boundaries without having me baby it over the night. right now every click is 5 minutes and adds like 400k to 1 million points. Civil 3D 2012

AutoCad :: Hatch Inner Boundary Of Closed Polyline?

Jul 6, 2012

I am trying to find a command that will hatch the inner edge of a complex closed poly line, rather than hatch the entire area inside the poly line.

When I have simple shapes such as a rectangle I create a smaller rectangle inside the first that is 1' (or whatever I want my hatched area to be) smaller on all sides than the first rectangle. I hatch by selecting the two rectangles; I change the "Associative" hatch property to "No" and then delete the inner rectangle.

My problem now is that I have a complex closed poly line that I would like to hatch the inner perimeter with a set thickness, say 1 foot. Is there an easy way to hatch a inner boundary of a closed poly line or to recreate a scaled down copy of the poly line that is a set distance smaller all around. I hope I have conveyed the question clearly enough.
