AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Ditch Subassembly In Corridor - Using Realistic Mode To View

Oct 18, 2013

I'm using the Ditch subassembly in my corridor and am running into a problem when using realistic mode to view.

I've applied a render material to L3, L2 and L4 which is fine but when I assign a material to L1-L5 (i.e Top) it overdraws (or otherwise fails to display) the previously assigned materials for L2, L3 and L4.

If I set the Links L1-L5 (i.e. Top) to no display then L2, L3 and L4 display as expected but when IMX'd to Infraworks the existing terrain shows through at Links L1 and L5.

Is it possible to stop this from happening and have a seperate material for L1 and L5 whilst retaining L2,L3 & L5 materials?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Ditch Depth In Fill Condition

Feb 2, 2013

I am trying to create a custom subassembly using SAC 2012 that will place a 1' deep ditch at the bottom of the slope in a fill condition.  The trouble I am having is how to hold a consant 1' depth on the backslope and vary the foreslope since the daylight offset and elevation is variable depending on the slope of the existing ground.  I need the attachment point to be the edge of the shoulder so it seems like a loop that varies the foreslope length would be required but loops are not allowed.  I will also have the option to target a profile but I also need the ability to hold a constant ditch depth.

How to model this condition.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Variable Ditch Bottom With Slope And Delta Y

Oct 22, 2012

I'm trying to build the ditch portion of my Subassembly backwards from an offset target "DitchOffset". The elevation of this point should be derived from a point that is using Slope and Delta Y from point "P12" (see attached). Must be at least 1m from the bottom of SubBase with a 5:1 slope. 

The Ditch Bottom will be variable width. I'd like to be able to select my offset alignment for my ditch bottom. Have a link from this point extend at a slope to the Target Surface to complete the foreslope.

I can't quite picture how to complete the links from the DitchOffset point. This may be complicated but the diagram identify what I'm trying to do.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Subassembly To Corridor?

Nov 18, 2013

We are trying to edit a small portion of an existing corridor by adding a generic daylighting subassembly.  The add subassembly tool in the Corridor Section editor works, but we get an error because the new sub doesn't have a target surface specified.  how to add a target for a sub that is added after the corridor was created?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor With Conditional Subassembly?

Apr 2, 2012

I am working on implementing Chad Studer's techniques from his presentation at Autodesk University for corridors with conditional subassemblies at the driveways.  Basically I created a corridor with two driveways for a test run.  When I select the corridor and look at the object viewer, there are several lines going to who knows where at both driveways.  But a look at the properties of the finished grade surface generated doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.  I had the conditional subassembly look for a polyline on layer "driveway."  It appears that there may be a gap in the corridor at each end of the pollyline.  I've attached the drawing file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Surface Not Using Correct Subassembly Point

Apr 29, 2013

I have created a new assembly that uses a HMA dike rather than your typical curb but my surface always begins at the top of the HMA pavement rather than the top of the curb subassembly. See Picture. Where's the setting to fix this (is it a daylight setting) or it is a bigger problem in that I didn't create the subassembly or assembly correct to begin with?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Section Editing And Subassembly Overrides

Aug 13, 2013

Anyway,  I'm trying to build a corridor that targets the existing surface with a linkslopetosurface sub.  It works just like I want it to, but there are areas where I want to override the target and have it target an existing curb return alignment.  Is there a better sub I should be using that will target one first and then a second if the first doesn't work right?

Also,  with my corridor section editor, can I adjust the vertical scale to be exagerated?  It's really tough to edit the 1:1 ver./hor. scale.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section View With Subassembly?

I am creating section view with my road project. I successfully created center line alignment, surface, surface profile, sample line and section views on every station I needed on my design.

I want to see "subassembly" (travel lane, curb & gutter, sidewalk, 2:1 slope) on my section view. I can block, insert and copy it to my section my manually, but I know this not the right way to do.

3ds Max :: Civil View Trees - Possible To Get Shadows More Realistic

Nov 21, 2011

I imported trees using Civil View which are images projected on planes. I was wondering if its possible to get the shadows more realistic? It currently displays the plane shadows which are 2 planes crossed in the shape of an "X". I also noticed on others' systems their tree objects are more 3d and not images draped on planes. Is this due to graphics card?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section View Not Displaying Corridor?

Dec 7, 2012

Using 2012, latest SP. I have a master drawing @ 1:500 with alignment, prof's, corr, etc. I have a second drawing @ 1:200 to be used for section views. I've data referenced the alignment, prof's, srf's, etc. I've created the section views in the section view dwg and xref'd the master dwg.

My problem is that the corridor model will not display in section views anywhere along a spiral in the 1:200 dwg. It displays fine everywhere else along the alignment. Just not spirals.

I have section views in the master drawing that will display the corridor just fine in section view at these same stations along the spirals.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Get Back To Regular View From Corridor Section

Edited a corridor section.  Hit some button (not sure what) now I can't get back to my regular view.  If I select the "Top" view, now all that shows up is one contour, and the top of one cross section, like it's only showing stuff that is at one elevation.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: View Frames And Not Wanting To Plot Corridor Info

Jun 19, 2013

I have a road design with a corridor.  I want to plot the plan and profile but not show the sub-assembly section that are every 25 feet.  I can't freeze the layer because then I only see my baseline for the alignment.  I want to see the offsets of the road.  I have tried creating an offset of my alignment but it will not create the offsets for some reason.

I want my final output to show the entire road over my OG topo survey but do not want to see section lines every 25ft

When I use ImportSubassembly API to import my subassembly created by Autodesk Subassembly Composer  into my civil project, it reports error-"eFilerError".

the code like this:

atcFile = @"D:9f92eaa4ef514ac982518852e1169932.atc";

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Correcting Ditch Location

Jul 24, 2013

I had created a corridor using the attached assembly with conditional cut/fill and SlopeToSurface SA, the cut condition provides a ditch SA at cut only.  Then had the Ditch Bottom Profile to follow a ditch profile that I created, and flows toward the increasing chainage.  The horizontal offset and elevation of the ditch runs perfectly fine as desired, except between Sta. 0+465 (cut section) and Sta. 0+470 (fill section), where the ditch ties back to the edge of shoulder instead of going toward the outside (as shown in the blue lines).

My question is, do I need to make a transition between the cut and fill sections?  If so how much effect and details is needed as I have a few other locations with the same issue.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Copy Corridor Or Corridor Station Values Only?

Copy a corridor successfully? I'd like to try this just a little worried about the explosion of evil this may cause to my Civil 3D session.

Even all the properties of the corridor setup from one to another would be useful. I'm building one corridor and an 2nd one that matches everything except I need to replace my Assembly with one meant for stripping.

My corridor surface is not matching my corridor top links.  see attachments.  this is affecting my volumes!

The section-plan(surface red).png is showing the section editor and the plan view.  the red highlighted line in section is the corridor surface and as you can see in plan view the surface is incorrect and wiggly.

The pdf is all my sections with the red linework being the corridor surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sump / Baffle Box In Drainage Ditch

Sep 6, 2013

I'm trying to add a sump/baffle box to a drainage ditch. I'm taking this project over from someone else.  They had created a surface. However, I'm confused about how the surface they made was created, but I have used it to give me a reference to were the sump is located on the profile view. (circled in blue).  Currently that surface has wall that are 1.5' high with a bottom at -1.5'.  I have drawn in the sump on the profile view (highlighted in yellow).

I have tried to start over by using breaklines.  I have already created a standard breakline on the N and W side at 0.  However, on the east side, how to create a breakline and keep the drainage basin grading to the exisitng drainage basin grade.

I have attached screen shots of the plan and profile view.
