Am struggling to pull off some corridor but the standard daylight subassembly is letting me down. It mulfunctions when I connect it to the Generic Linktoslope subassembly. In some Areas it works fine but in others it doesn't. My plan is to apply a ditch at the point where the LinktoSlope meets the ground level and to have this ditch again daylight back to the target surface.
View 3 RepliesThis is my first corridor and I've been slowly working my way through it, but just seem to be running into problems left and right. My latest problem is the following;
I have my Corridor's Subassembly Daylighting set to target my Left side 33' R/W offset alignment. For 90% of my alignment everything is working fine or at least appears to, but I have 3 different areas where the Corridor refuses to daylight from the bottom of the 1' ditch out to said left alignment target even though the ditch is well below existing grade. I've attached 2 screen grabs.

I am trying to model a DOT project in a fashion that allows a corridor surface creation for not only the finished surface, but also the datum surface. This is a machine control project currently under construction. One of the DOT's typical sections includes a shoulder subassembly with a grade break in it. This particular assembly varies in width at the grade break. I would like to have the option for a target width alignment at the grade break.
See attached sketch.
I created a custom assembly that has an offset target. Is it possible to program my subassembly to target only on the side of my subassembly (and not criss-cross onto itself it the target is on the other side)?

How do I setup the target surface so that when I import the SA into my drawing, I can link it to that surface and have it cut off 1 m above the surface?

I get some subassembly on web but all the tunnel subassemblies have the target point on Width or Offset Target and Slop or Elevation Target. I don't know whats happens but only my region that owns the tunnel subassembly isn't recognizing on corridor, and isn't drawing on my sections too.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a variable sidewalk width and would like my corridor to follow sidewalk as defined by Target Alignment for Sidewalk width (polyline). My sidewalk is merging at ends with roadway however my corridor feature lines presenting sidewalk is not following/merging with target. In all other locations, it follows the target width however where sidewalk merges with road, feature line goes straight.
Attached PDF should hopefully explain what I want to say. Could not attached dwg due to size issue.
I am using Basic Curb and Urban sidewalk assembly wherein my Blvd targets are set to 0 (none).
How can I make my corridor follow sidewalk width target exactly.

I'm trying to successfully get through a corridor, but to no avail. I'm certain I'm missing a step, and I'm certain that the step I'm missing is setting a surface to daylight to.
My project: It's a simple grassed waterway in a parabolic shape that is ran on a proposed profile grade up a draw. As you can see in the screen shots, it should daylight to the surface on each side. You can also see that the majority of the profile is deeper than the assembly is tall, so I should have a corridor that daylights on each side with a gradual cut up to the surface.
I profiled the centerline with offsets. I need the offsets to see how deep to lay the proposed centerline in regards to how deep my waterway will be. I get a bunch of error messages when I run the coridor, and they all deal with the offsets.
I have a main road corridor and a small access road corridor that intersects the main road. I don't want the intersection to have curb returns because I just want the access road to act as a driveway enterance (main road curb will run straight through and just get depressed at the access road enterance). However, I want the daylighting for the main corridor and the access road corridor to match up at this intersection and I'm not sure how to do this.

i've made a serpantine curve that starts from one line of alignment and end on the other line.
i wanted to know how can c change alignment direction when these two feature line and alignment meet each other in order to change the alignment path?
I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.
Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.
I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

Using Civil 3d2012, Is it possible to change the alignment label style set after the alignment has been created? For example, for an alignment that was created with alignment label set X - change the label set to alignment label set Y? It seems like this should be pretty easy, I must be missing something obvious.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question on Alignment PI's. (Point of Inflection/Intersection)I have an alignment where some PI's have curves, others are merely hard bends.
Is there a way to automatically label the PI's even if they have an associated curve? (I'd like PI, PC and PT)Alternatively, can I only show markers at PI's without curves?
I'm trying to edit some existing alignments. When I create new entities, they do not show up in the alignment grid view. Why is this?

Launching alignment grid view/alignment entities,
I’m wondering if there is a way to launch alignment grid view/alignment entities (attached) without the need to first launching “alignment”? This dialogue box is quite essential in editing the values of radius, degree of curvature and deflection angle for the selected curve.
Can I inherit the station from one alignment as the begin station for another alignment?
For example. Alignment 1 is 1000 ft long and starts at sta 0+00.
At sta 8+01, Alignment 2 begins and goes off in another direction.
I manually enter 8+01 for begin station Alignment 2. Life is good. Still in the design stage, and customer needs to modify Alignment 1 to avoid something. Now Alignment 2 intersects Alignment 1 at sta 8+15, but same N/E coordinates.
I manually enter 8+15 for begin station Alignment 2.
It would be better if Alignment 2 could inherit the begin station based on the new stationing from Alignment 1.

i have just spent 8 hours today trying to find a link that will vary target a poly line that i have set. i cant seem to find the link that will do what i need as per the attachemnt. the section between the edge of the foot path and the start of the fill/cut slope needs to be variable
i know how to set all the targets but this link seems to be a fixed length.
I want to programmatically assign Targets to subassembly of baseline Regions but I could not Success in that here it is the code
Corridor corridor = ts.GetObject(icor.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Corridor; foreach (Baseline b in corridor.Baselines) { al = ts.GetObject(b.AlignmentId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Alignment; foreach (BaselineRegion br in b.BaselineRegions) { double st = [code]........
What i want to do is ; i have a corridor with both right/left sides ending with linktosurface with fixed slope.In some sections my existing surface is not wide enough to get intersection with link to surface with fixed slope. So i want to use this "conditional horizontal target " if my surface is not enough wide for intersection then just intersect or go to the edge of my existing surface. But i learned that surfaces cannot be used as an offset target with that subassembly.
View 9 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have an assembly called Original, as shown below with a 6m wide lane. Now I want to target it to 8m wide for some road widening. Now, will it stretch along the slope of the subassembly (Case 1) until 8m width, or will it just shift laterally to 8m (Case 2)?
I know that we can set the default slope of it, but I'm not sure if it gets overriden due to the Target-width process.
In particular, I am attempting the infamous task of creating driveway openings using a horizontal target with my sub-assemblies. I referred to the AU 2010 video tutorial that gets passed around here on the boards, and for the most part, it works with ONE tiny exception.
Like in the AU video, I set my conditional target to look for a particular layer, and I first attempted the exercise by placing ONE polyline (i.e. driveway opening) on the layer, and set set conditional "found" and "not found" targets to find this pline. The target found the pline on the layer on the right side of the road where I drew it, and created the opening as hoped, but it created an opening on the LEFT side of the road as well!
What do I have to do to prevent the conditional horizontal targets from ignoring the exact opposite side of the road? In my assembly, the left conditions are set to LEFT, and the right conditions are set to RIGHT, but when the corridor gets modeled, BOTH sides of the road will show an opening even if there is only one pline drawn.

how to create corridor, and I have a question about assembly elevation targets.
When creating a corridor, the profile is required as dependent object, which gives the elevation of the centerline of the road. Based on the definition of assembly, the elevation of the corridor at the offset targets can be determined by the profile. My question is if the assembly elevation target specifies the elevation at the offset target too? If so, why both profile and assembly elevation target are required?
(in Inventor Pro 2014,64 bit):
I've made an stairs assembly that contains adaptive parts that are all controlled by the assembly parameters.
Here is my assembly and the controlling parameters. The stringers on the side are made with the frame generator and use the "extend" feature to get the appropriate length, as driven by the parameters. The reason I used frame generator is so that I can easily change sizes of the stringers down the road, if needed. I chose to make the parts associative so I could control all of the parameters from within the assembly instead of opening each part separately.
My goal now is to be able to use this assembly (or something similar) as a template to create new sets of stairs, all to be placed in the same main assembly.
I attempted to duplicate all of the parts (append a "2" at the end of each file name and replace components in the new set of stairs with the 2nd version) but ran into problems with the two stringers. I can't figure out what to do to get the Frame00001 and Skeleton00001 to reassociate to Frame00002 and Skeleton00002. So any time I change my slope, the original stairs will end up trying to copy the new stringers instead of keeping the old ones.
how can I make this assembly reference a new frame, and secondly?
How to create multiple offset target. It mean lane, median, sidewalk extra. I have attached exactly what i expect.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI created an assembly with a broken back subassembly. I moved it to a 40cm horizontal offset away from the axis. I attached it to a corridor using two polylines as targets. One for the broken back and one for the outside lane. In civil 2011 everything works fine.
In civil 2012 the ETW is offseted by the same value i moved the subassembly away from the axis! If i change the subassembly offset to eg 1m then when rebuilding corridor the ETW moves to 1m away from the target polyline!
Same strange behavior using subassembly R2011 or R2012.
See the attached dwg.
When trying to make an existing features corridor when I select Target to set the existing surface I get an error
"No target found in the scripts."
I have attached a word file with the error as it appears on the screen.
if i want to target the existing surface beyond the edges of my road/sidewalk, should i use the link slope to surface subassembly at both ends? i want the model to test if in a cut or fill situation, and then target.
