AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Raising Topographic Survey
Dec 23, 2013I am trying to adjust (raise) a very intensive topographic survey from NGVD 1929 to NAVD 1988.I know how to raise the surface and I know how to adjust the datum of the points.
How to raise all the breaklines used to develop the surface as well? This would include survey figures, feature lines and 3d polylines.I want to raise them all by an equal amount.

Apr 29, 2013I'm trying to create a topographic map using 200+ (x,y,z) data points that I already loaded into an excel file, but I can't figure out how to apply them to my AutoCAD.
I've already looked around at a few lisp programs, and I've downloaded them, loaded them, but when I try to activate them in the command box I type them in and nothing happens.

AutoCad :: Polyface Mesh To Topographic Map
Mar 13, 2013I have some topography I've converted from SketchUp to .Dwg and I was curious if AutoCad (or any of it's versions) had the capabilities of turning this series of meshes into a run-of-the-mill topographic map. For instance, a standard plan view showing elevation lines at say 2' intervals.
If any of the versions are capable I can definitely get the 30 Day trial and give it a go.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section Of A Model As Its Own Model
Sep 11, 2013I am currently using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 for surveying work and have been trying to figure out how to use part of an existing survey of land model. I have it in a layout (paper space) and used a viewport to get the section I am after but there are some changes in labeling and minor model modifications needed to make it a stand alone model and I do not want to modify the original model to make these changes. How can I take a section like I have in view port and make it into its own model with a different scale so the changes can be made and the original model is left in tact?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Layer Sheets Of Fabric On Top Of Topographic Region
Oct 16, 2011So I have a topographic surface I created from 3 lofts and 2 patches. The goal of the project is to: find out how many rolls of fabric will be needed to cover the surface, find out how far each roll will go, and create an assembly style sketch.
So far all I have is the surface. I was thinking I could divide it in sections by the width of the fabric (minus the overlap.) With each section, create a path, and use the sweep feature to sweep the profile of the fabric. Only sweep the length of the roll, till I reach the endpoint, and turn each sweep into a part file.
My first problem with this method is that I can't seem to project the surface of the topographic region to a sketch to create the path for the sweep. Does the surface need to be turned into a solid to do this?
I believe an easier method to this would be to thicken the topographic region, split the the thickened layer, and divide it into the sections I need to build the final sketch.
Is there a better method, and which method should I use. Also, is there any way to project a surface onto a sketch or does it have to be a solid?

Apr 16, 2012I am trying to work on a previous file in my office, and when it opens on mycomputer, it does not display as it should.
In general, the purpose of the project is to reinstate the side slopes of a road abutting a river. Cut & fill sections have been generated on 20m station increments along the road corridor/surfaces in order to calulate cut and fill as well as to reference the design to flood levels.
When I open the file, all of these sections (and there are alot) have relocated themselves to various locations in model space, none of which are aligned with the viewports that are being used for printing.
Could it be software and/or hardware incompatibility with the computer they were originally created on? (I believe it was created with C3D 2010, or C3D 2011 - I am currently running 2012)
Revit :: Visibility Of Topographic Surface Edges
May 20, 2013In Revit LT 2014, I've tried unsuccessfully to override the color of topographic surface edges in my model to white, so the edges don't show up in plan views. I've tried through the Object Styles menu, Override Graphics In View By Element, and Override Objects In View By Category, but nothing has worked. These overrides have worked for me in the past in previous Revit Arch versions, so I don't know if LT just doesn't have that capability, or it's a bug.
I can't simply extend the topo surface past the view window edges (I only want to show contour lines on my site, since they've been surveyed, but the neighboring site has not been surveyed, so I don't want to guess at them). I really just want to hide the toposuface boundary edge.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Kit That Will Be Used In More Than One Product Model
Sep 11, 2012What I'm trying to accomplish is a way to create a kit (assembly of loose parts) that will be used in more than one product model. Each top level assembly (product model) will require the parts to be constrained in different locations but all of the components in the kit will remain the same.
Is the iAssembly tool the right tool to use for this?

AutoCad 3D :: Extract 2D Elements Used To Create 3D Model
Jul 5, 2011I've recently been given a *.dwg file that seems to contain a 3D model composed of blocks. I'm a long-time SolidWorks user, and in my parlance, what I've got is an assembly composed of individual parts.
I need to create a 2D version of each 3D part. Currently, my process isCut & paste 3D component into new document.
Select all and perform 'flatten,' removing hidden lines.
Select all and explode.
Manually remove a zillion duplicate and unnecessary line segments. Manually fix radiused / filleted corners, which have become a bunch of little straight line segments. Draw a polyline around the whole part. Run 'boundary' to create a new polyline approximating the original shape.
Clearly, this is not very efficient - nor does it produce an exact 2D duplicate of the face of the 3D part; what I get is a close approximation. I don't use AutoCAD to do 3D work, but I assume that, much like SolidWorks, a 2D sketch is created first and then extruded into the 3D objects.
This, in turn, leads me to believe that there ought to be a way to extract that 2D sketch intact for use elsewhere. How should I go about doing this?

Apr 23, 2013I am facing a problem here: I need to create an explanation of a 3D model (means there is x, y, and z coordinate) in 2D terms.
The base shape is something like this: [URL] ........
What I want to show is the part where the lines are joint. There is a lot of angle involved, the standard polygon angle and the dihedral angle.
What I want to show is the dihedral angle, around the joint but no lines are actually parallel to any of the axis. Therefore, how to explain properly this part to layman (contractor, client, etc).
I tried researching using the keyword "3D CAD drawing", and "3D Detail Drawing" but nothing comes to fruition.
