AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Surface Into Revit To Merge Surface And Buildings Together?
Jul 29, 2013I have a project involving 3 programs. I am creating a planned development in 3d to be 3d printed when finished. The project is a 5 acre tract containing 8 buildings. I have built the surface in C3D and each building in Revit. The buildings are not in the same Revit file. For my solid work, I will bring the files over into 3ds Max Design to section into smaller quadrants to build in the 3d printer.
The questions:
Would it be better to import the surface into Revit to merge surface and buildings together?
Would it be better to import the buildings into C3D to merge entities?
Would it be better to bring those entities into 3ds Max and then merge them into one? Will 3ds Max Design allow me to insert entities accurately in the environment?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Surface To Solid Model / Turn Off Yellow Edges In Surface Model
Mar 4, 2008We received a surface model from a vendor that I have patched up as best I can, it still has one hole that I can find that I haven't been able to fill. Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.
I've attached a jpg of the surface model with the yellow lines and uploaded the model here: [URL].....
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Cut Fill Surface From Existing Surface
Mar 1, 2013Im currently using an addon for Civil 3D called Novapoint. It allows me to create 3D models of surfaces made out of 3d faces and easily models cut and fill 3d-models for me.
The only thing i need to create a cut and fill model is one or several ground surfaces (existing ground, earth layers, rock etc. whatever i need) and a closed polyline/3Dpolyline that represents the level I want my cut and/or fill model.
I enter the spcifications I want such as; earth cut angle, rock cut angle, fill angle, select which surfaces i want to include in the model calculation and select the polyline.Novapoint then calculates the cut/fill model from the surfaces to the polyline and models the different cut/fill angles and gives me the results in a 3d-face model and a specification of the volyme of rock cut, earth cut an fill.
1. Novapoint is quite unstable and crashes alot
2. You cant create profiles out of 3d faces
3. Novapoint does not automaticly combine the start surfaces with the modeled cut/fill surface
4. A large surface made out of 3d-faces demands alot of computer power
So I want to how I do the same that Novapoint does for me in Civil 3D? (I have access to Civil 3D 2007-2013 depending on which one you're using)I know I can take the 3Dfaces i created in Novapoint and make a surface in Civil 3D with them but I want to exclude Novapoint completely.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MEP Building Model On Surface
Oct 31, 2013I am attempting to x-ref a building model that was drawn in 2013 MEP in a Civil3D drawing that contains the site surface. When I x-ref my building model into the site drawing and attempt to align and scale the building some of my walls become broken and missing. I have a feeling this is a scaling issue because on my site my north wall should be 24' long. The wall is 24' long in MEP, but that same 24' from Civil3D is only a 2' line segment in MEP. How to remedy this? I have tried scale the building model down in MEP first and it causes all kinds of problems with the door and window objects. I tried adjusting the x-ref scale prior to adding the x-ref and it does the same thing.

Feb 3, 2010I work in both Microstation(PowerCivil) and Autodesk(C3d 2010) platforms, unfortunately not very proficient in either. We use both due to project requirements. I have no say in the format what-so-ever. Now to the point.. I am working on a project thats survey is a 2d .dgn however I am to create a model from this information (which happens to be just text spot elevations no intelligence attached) and supply it in C3d..Is this Possible ?? Or would it be easier to just do it in PowerCivil (I have made surfaces with 2d objects before with) and convert to .dwg upon completion ????

Nov 16, 2011I am trying to create a mass surface that is being cut by a topo plane. What I am trying to achieve or show is a height setback set from the existing topo to a height of 35'. I've tried to cutting or joining the two geometries but this will not work. There is no way to snap t the intersection of were the mass and the Topo surface meet. Is there a way to change a Topo surface into a mass? Any other way to achive this instead of massing and topo surfaces?

Jun 5, 2012Any experience with the Tin Surface CreatebyCropping Function.
The specific stumbling block I have come across is the best way to deal with the database that is required to export the new cropped surface to as it has to be different from the current drawing. I don't actually need the cropped surface to be saved but need to be able to adjust elevations and extract the tin from it. The tin would then be used to generate a pregrade surface in the base drawing. Previously I had done this with non-destructive boundaries but I find the cropped surface to be more accurate.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grading Will Not Create Surface
Jul 19, 2013I have two separate graded levees in my drawing. One has created a surface just fine, the other absolutely refuses to generate a surface. I've deleted the grading even the feature lines and re-did them. In my grading group I have automatic surface creation checked and the volume base surface checked. I show the surface in the prospector but there is nothing there. The one levee will show contour styles but this one ZIP!

Aug 17, 2013I'm creating a containment dike around and island. I want the berm to tie down to the existing surface, then offset from that tie point 21' to the surface again. I can do an offset from Baseline, or a tie to an elevation in a profile. What I can't do is make the offset 21' from the tie location over an additional 21' to another tie point on a surface.

Oct 31, 2013I am working in Civils 3D 2014 and I have a survey with points already on the correct elevation layer, I have tried creating a surface from this but it does not show up.
My process:
- I create a new drawing and insert a block (my topo survey) and click explode when I do this
- I create the surface by TIN and make sure I have the correct layer for the points that I am selecting
- Click ok
- Then go into that surface and turn on all layers and refresh - still nothing
- I also made sure that my surface style was 1m contours so I would definately see this.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Surface From GIS Data
Dec 16, 2013I have created a contour layer in MAP and need to bring the data into Civil (to create and EGL surface) which I usually I do via an alter properties query.
There is the Create Surface from GIS data in 2014 but this requires shp files so the two questions I have are:
Can the contour layer be output as shp files (and if so how)?
If yes, is this easier/more efficient than my current workflow?

Jul 2, 2013Creating a particular object for use in a revit project. I have attached a group of images.
In short, it is an arched wall that is made up of a series of masonary objects (6types), each with the same dimensions, the only difference being they have different openings. The objects just need to be represented as a solid masonary for now. The individual objects need to be shuffled around the arch to test different configurations.
Would the best approach be to develop the objects as generic model families?

This one is curved and the top of the platform has inclinations has the picture shows.
I'm having trouble on finding the best way to aproach this dump surface. I tried to start from point 2 with the curved feature line and grade back 2% till EG and then grade forward 10% till it reaches point 3 at elevation (900) , but when i grade forward the sides obviosly dont hit my EG.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Create A No Work Zone On A Surface
Mar 6, 2012I use RocTek for cut/fil calculations, but the program is old and basic, I'm trying to transition to Civil 3D 2012 right now. Typically I create "no work zones" around my building footprints, so that I can do a more detailed take-off in those areas for over-excavations and that sort of thing. Right now I'm using Civil 3D to create an existing surface, a proposed surface, and then a volume from between the two. I thought if I just traced my proposed contours over the existing within the building footprint that I would get what I was looking for. However, analysis of the cut/fill volume shows that there are still some changes being made around the edges of the building.
Is there a specific way to make a proposed surface, but leave parts of the existing surface untouched?
See attached photo. The upper middle portion of the screen is where the building is (forgot to turn on layer).
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Create Surface Form Contour
Jul 28, 2011I would like to create surface from contours and extract points (with value) from on it. I had contours in my drawing; each major and minor contours are single polyline with elevation (Z value).
If I create surface form CONTOUR, some polylines (major or minor) are not included in to surface. After the creation of surface, I tried to erase the existing contour lines (Polyline) from drawing but the surface will be disappearing.
If I create the surface from ''DRAWING OBJECTS'', I'm not able to select the polylines (attachment 01) .
