Trying to get the cut/fill quantities by computing the materials & I'm getting confused.
I imported another criteria & for ground removed it has existing as below & my datum as above. For fill, it has the datum below & existing above. The cut/fill matches a comparison between the 2 surfaces, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Explain why for cut the datum's set to above & for fill it's set to below,
In Section View the material region is filled with a solid hatch, this obscures other objects such as the bounding surfaces and labeling.
For some reason the material hatch is always on top in the display order Manually forcing it to the back in the display order is possible. This is not a reasonable solution due to the time involved and repetition.Transparency allows the objects beneath to be visible but their tool tips are not functioning due to the overlap. The same would apply to using something other than a solid hatch.
The primary concerns are:
Visibility of all objectsSelectibility of objectsTooltip functionality
When I'm creating a material list, every time I select two surfaces and one is smaller than the other, a vertical boundary is created rather than a boundary with the shape of exactly the space between those two surfaces.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to run two reports one for Cut and Fill, and one for Materials (shapes). I would like two material lists for the same alignment and sample line group.
The process, setup the materials list for Pave, Base, and Subbase. Generate report, delete list and setup for Cut and Fills, run the report. You do this over and over. Autodesk please add a way to save and import these setups, and a way to create multiple lists for each alignment and sample line group.
Note: Why the Civil 3d default for the interlude into the actual Compute Materials dialogue is Pave, Subbase, Base is beyond me, could someone tell the programmers that Subbase is generally below Base. Each time I have to delete the CIvil 3D defaults and redo this step.
We have a general template (excel file) for material list. Is there way to connect this template with inventor. Or alternatively change the inventor BOM list to suite our template?

I have a material library in Inventor 2014 containing lots of custom defined materials. I would like to create a master list that I can give to someone who isn't using Inventor. The only property that I really need to export is the material name, e.g.' CSA G40.21-44W'.
In this case, engineering is trying to coordinate better with purchasing, by making sure that materials are specified in the same way in both departments.
I know that the material list you get inside of the frame generator comes from CC, but is there a way to add other types of frame styles to the generator?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe use different types of sheet metals, from stainless to bronze, and different thicknesses.
Currently, in order to show the correct material on a parts list, I have to duplicate the material Stainless Steel, and rename it to say 20 Gauge Stainless Steel. Then again for 16 Ga, 14Ga, 12 Ga, etc...
I'd like to have the parts list show the common material such as "Stainless Steel", with another column for the sheet metal style such as "20 Gauge."
We also use items such as Plastic Laminate. I'd like to create a generic material for the physical properties of "Plastic Laminate", and then change the material appearance to say "Formica #1234 Walnut". Again, i'd like to be able to put this in (2) columns on the parts list.
Im trying to create a list of text strings to select from defining material thickness and then plug that selection into a global form custom iproperty called "MaterialDescription".. Also, is it possible to access and pre-enter field text edit items in iLogic?

The filter works fine an provides me a string looking like the sytax for the MULTIVALUE.SETLIST command.
B6string = FilterReturn & Chr(130) & B6String = 75‚80‚250‚65‚45‚250
Unfortunatly this string gets exactly as ONE entry in the Parameters Value listing !
MultiValue.SetList("B6_Lochbild_Länge", B6String)
I also tried
MultiValue.List("B6_Lochbild_Länge") = New Integer () {B6String}
and also
B6string = Chr(148) & FilterReturn & Chr(148) & Chr(130) & B6String
with the same effect !
I'm using Autodesk Inventor 2012 SP1 64 Bit on a Windows 7 machine without vault.
I seem to be missing something. I cannot get the parts list in assembly drawing to fill the part number column. See the image below.
The BOM has the part number field filled out as shown below. Is there someway that I need to map the iProperty to the part number column in parts list?
In our “Parts list” (or BOM as we call it) on our .idw’s we have field for “LENGTH”. For example, we use round tubing. We would list the cut length of that piece of tube in the “LENGTH” column. As it stands now, we add “LENGTH” as a custom iproperty in the .ipt. Then in the drawing we add that property to the parts list to capture the length. This works fine, but I’m wondering if we can eliminate some steps by capturing the actual dimension from the sketch to automatically populate the “LENGTH” value. Needless to say, this would eliminate room for error (less typing) and will update the value automatically if length is changed or if the part is copied. I suppose the same would apply for “WIDTH” on sheet metal parts... How do I do this?

A pipe network has been created & labeled. All pipes labeled correctly except one. The material for 15", 18", 24" RCP pipes labeled "RCP" but all the 12" pipes labeled "Reinforced Concrete Pipe". So I know I need to change the Material of the 12" pipe to read "RCP". I was hoping to just go to Pipe Properties & change it there for this dwg but it doesn't change.
I was thinking it might be in the part xml file but why would some label "RCP" and the 12" didn't? The Parts Catolog used in this dwg is the default from Autodesk. Also, in the Part List, Material is greyed out. That's the first place I went to change the Material.
I am able to easily import sanitary sewer pipe and structure information from existing GIS information using the import wizard. I do have one issue that I can't figure out how to fix: even though I match the material field in the GIS shapefile to the material field in the import wizard, the material for the imported pipe network defaults to concrete pipe. I have tried updating the shapefile and the part in Part Builder so that the material information matches exactly, but it still happens. I can work around this by selecting "Swap Part" for each pipe and then selecting the correct pipe material and diameter, but this can be tedious when dealing with a lot of pipes.
how to get the pipe material to import correctly?

If there is any reference material out there that is useful with regards to naming conventions within Civil 3d. I am getting better at naming everything, When you have a busy drawing with lots of feature lines, alignments, assemblies, corridors etc, it can get pretty confusing sometimes.

I do a lot of visualization work I need a corridor top surface split by material FAST. before I used Corridor Solids but I don't have the extension in 2013. So I export to CivilView, so far so good, then attempt to roundtrip the mesh back in Civil3D and that is where things fall apart.
Export to DWG is not split by material
Export to 3DS results in a blank screen
Export to FBX comes in missing large chunks of mesh out of scale and in the wrong location
