AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Elliptical Arch Pipe - Height?

Oct 1, 2013

I need to put a 42 x 29 Arch Pipe in my drawing.  I found a 44 x 27 in the elliptical arch catalog.  But I can't get it to let me create one that's 42 x 29.

And I'm also having trouble making a label for it. This is one of three culvert pipes in this network.  The other two are round 36" CMP.  The label for those says XX' of 36" POLY-COATED CMP @ x.xx%.  Once I need the label for this third pipe to show as XX' of 42" x 29" ARCH PIPE @ x.xx%.

When I tried to make the label style, I saw "Pipe Inner Diameter or Width".  But I didn't see one for height.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Set Height Between Invert Out Pipe And Rim Level

Mar 1, 2013

I need to know if there is a way (like an expression) to get de height between invert out pipe and rim level?

My question is about a structure with 2 or more pipes at different level and needed to define the height for each one to the surface level (rim level).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Represent Bottomless Arch (arch Span)

Mar 14, 2012

How to represent a bottomless arch (arch span)?  I can make a horizontal arch pipe, but I only need the top half.  I also thought about building a corridor.

We do have a storm drain system running perpendicular above it and need to show the arch as a crossing.  Corridor would work but I think I would prefer a pipe network-type solution.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Section In Full Height In Section Views?

Feb 20, 2013

I have lots of section views with some surfaces and pipes. Unfortunately, in a number of section views pipes are not shown in full height because the section view level range is too little. What I am wondering is - is it possible to automatically adjust section level ranges so that they fully include pipe sections? Please see also the image in the attachment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Labeling Round And Elliptical Pipes

Jun 11, 2013

I have a job where there are 3 round pipes and one elliptical pipe going into the same structure. When I put a label on the structure, it shows all 4 pipes, but I can't figure a way to show the elliptical pipe dimensions as 29x45; It only comes in as 45" RCP. I have tried to manipulated the text, but it won't let me me change the individual pipe text in the structure label. When I change the label to read Height x Width, the round pipes show the same as elliptical pipe. Is there a way for my label to show 3 round and 1 elliptical pipe size, or do I have to manually add the elliptical pipe size (which I'd prefer not to do)?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Depicting Both Slice And Cross Cut Pipe Profiles Of One Pipe

Jan 8, 2014

One of the things I seem to struggle with is being able to depict a single pipe when it needs to be shown in one profile as a crossing pipe, and another profile where you you show a lenghwise slice through the pipe.  I end up tracing the pipe with eliptical objects where I'm cutting across the pipe and setting up more for the lengthwise/sideview of the pipe.  Is there a way to have two different styles for the same pipe, one for a cross cut and one for a lengthwise slice?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extend Feature Line Arch At Grade

May 10, 2012

I had thought this would work with no problem. I know the elevation I need to start an arc at and an elevation at a point along the arc. I drew that portion of the arc and then extended the arc to a line where I need the arc to end. I had expected the arc to extend along it's current grade the way a straight Feature line would. But the end dropped to 0.

I undid the extension, listed the FL arc to get the grade, extended it again and used the Elevation Editor to set the previous grade. But why didn't the extension work? I checked for other FL in the site that might cause this but there were none.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Curb Height Transitions

Aug 21, 2013

Trying to model a curb height transition in my corridor. Over about 15' I want to go from a 6" curb to flush. 

The only way I can seem to get it to show accurately is to leave a void in my corridor.   This allows the surface which is created from the corridor to model correctly and give me a transition of my curb height from 6" to flush.  Here's the object viewer showing it correctly: 

However, there are a few problems with this approach.  Mainly I've come to like the way the relatively new "extract corridor solids" tool (toolspace, toolbox, miscellaneous Utilities, corridor solids).  I use this to create a fairly nice looking Navisworks model.   With the void, now my model has a void.  It seems to me that there should be a way to have a subassembly that can target both the back of curb profile and the edge of gutter simultaneously.  I've tried with the standard subassembly "UrbanReplaceCurbGutter2" but with no luck.  Any successful modeling a curb height transition within their corridor?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Iterating Height Levels For A Polyline

Jan 20, 2013

I have a problem iterating heights when making a polyline between two different points that have Z-values. I've used Autocad Civil 3D for working with geodetic data with height measurements before and I remember using geodetically measured height values, transforming them into a surface and then when I create a 3Dpolyline within this area the polyline automatically gets z-values that change along the line.

In other words, I could use this 3Dpolyline to obtain a profile that gives me z-values even where there is no exact point with a value has been physically measured. It was a while ago I worked with Autocad and now when I started again I have a similar problem but can't manage to create a surface and get iterated values.

My exact problem this time is:

I have a sewage pipe that runs for several kilometers that is drawn as a 3Dpolyline, with correct x- and y-values. It doesn't have any z-values yet and these are what I want to obtain. I want the polyline to have continuous z-values that changes along the polyline (not only in vertexes) so that a smooth profile can be drawn if wanted. I have data of measured actual z-values for approximately every 500 meters or so along the sewage pipe and these are currently drawn as 3Dpolylines of around 20 meters going perpendicular to the pipe (as in the picture). In other words there are bars with z-values crossing the pipe all along the stretch. Now, what I want to do is to somehow make the polyline that represent the pipe to get the heights from these perpendicular bars with the measured z-values. If I try to draw a new 3Dpolyline between two of the measured bars where the actual pipe is supposed to be, the end vertexes of the 3Dpolyline gets the z-values of the bars. However, the value in between the bars gets the Z-value 0. So, if I start a 3Dpoly on bar 1 then continue the pipe with another vertex, and then finish off at the second bar I will have 2 vertexes with the correct z-value but the middle vertex will be incorrect (0). How do I get the pipe to get the correct z values automatically iterated from the values on the crossing bars? Is this even possible to do? Should I create a surface from the bars first, and in that case how do I do that? If possible I don't only want the vertexes between bars to have iterated z-values, I also want the entire line to have a correct value.

I've attached a crappy image made in paint (since I don't have Autocad on my home PC, only at the office). And just to make things even clearer I'll give an example. Let's say the pipe distance from 1 to 2 is 10 meters, the distance between 1 to 3 is 30 meters and the z-values of bar A and bar B is 10 and 25 respectively. So, when I draw a 3Dpolyline from 1 to 4, I want the vertex 2 to automatically get z-value 15 (since it's 1/3 on the way to B). In the same way, I would like for example the point on the pipe that is right in between 2 and 3 to have the z-value 20. I won't mind redoing the bars to for example singular points instead, if that makes it all easier.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Part Builder - Structure Height

Jan 24, 2010

I am trying to learn Part Builder to create a custom inlet structure. I am able to build the part in Part Builder so it looks like it should and seems to work correctly when I change part sizes. I run into trouble when I try to change the model parameter for Structure Height (SBSH) to a formula invovling Rim to Sump Height (SRS). When I do this and then go to Edit Size Parameters, I get an error " one or more calculations have failed". It does not seem to make any difference what formula I use for SBSH or what size parameter or model parameter SBSH was set to before I entered the formula.

I am able to save the part without any other error messages, however, when I look at the .xml file, SBSH is a constant and not the formula I entered. I can edit the .xml file to enter the formula that I want but still the part does not function properly in a drawing.

I can make a pipe network using the new structure, however, the pipe inverts are not the same as the sump elevation of the structure. They are usually several feet below the sump. I can get the structure sump to match the pipe inverts by going to "Connected Pipes" under "Edit Structure Properties", highlighting the pipe invert elevation and then clicking "Apply". If you change the pipe using "Edit pipe properties" after this, the structure invert does not update as it should.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Where Is The Annotative Scale And Paper Text Height Properties

Mar 15, 2012

Where is the “annotative scale” and “paper text height” properties?

I couldn’t find the “annotative scale” and “paper text height” properties when dealing with “Civil 3D” objects such as points and contours the same way we have it in the regular AutoCAD.

For example, suppose that I need to increase to decrease the “text height” of the point label considering a particular “annotative scale” property, then how this kind of thing might be done in the AutoCAD Civil 3D?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding A Bench To Slope / When Maximum Height Is Reached

Jul 25, 2012

I am using a feature line to create a grading for a residential house pad. The county grading ordinance calls for a 6' drainage terrace (bench) when slopes exceed 40' in vertical height. I know that for corridor grading you can specify a slope bench with a subassembly but that is not what I am doing here.

I'd like a solution where the grading remains dynamic because I know that benching will cause slopes to cross property lines. I also want to keep the dynamic nature to be able to make adjustments to balance the earthwork.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slope Percent (%) Label Text Is Not Changing Height

Jul 19, 2013

I have slope % angles labeled on a plan, but they are too large.  They are 1/8" tall, and I need them to be 3/32" tall. I have checked the style (ROMANS) to be sure the text height is set to 0", and it is.  I've also ensured that these labels are on this label style.

Check the screenshot.  I added 2 screenshots with a huge difference in font size just to be sure my point gets across. And, I have hit APPLY and closed the window just to be sure.  You will see up top, I have it set to 3/32".  Actually the text isn't showing right, it is still stuck on 1/8".  But, regardless, you can see in the lower screenshot where I have changed it to 3", but the text has not changed.

As a side note, the text on the slope labels should match the height of the contour labels you can see in the screenshots.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Test The Height Of Fill Slope Relative To Daylight Catch Point?

Sep 23, 2013

This seems like something that should be really easy but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I even started looking at using the Subassembly composer to create a custom SA but that seems like a ton of work so something that would seem to be a common problem.

I need to provide a v-ditch with 2:1 side slopes at the toe of a 2:1 fill slope. The flow line of the ditch should be 2 ft below the daylight point of the roadway pavement section.  

My problem is that the conditional subassembly seems to evaluate the height of fill directly beneath the attachment point of the conditional SA (pavement section daylight point in my case – “Daylight_Sub” Point code).  Instead I need it to evaluate the difference in elevation between the catch point of a 2:1 daylight fill slope and the conditional SA attachment point (Daylight_sub). If that difference is less than 2 feet, I need to provide the ditch, otherwise I can just use the daylight slope for the ditch foreslope and the existing surface for the backslope.

how to do this? Maybeits as easy as using a predefined daylight subassembly that I'm overlooking?

Here’s my current assembly attempt: 

And the resulting behavior. It is solving the 2nd fill condition when I would like it to solve the 1st fill condition:

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Rules Not Followed Exactly?

Nov 1, 2013

I created a pipe rule and applied it to my 6" HDPE pipe in my parts list.  The rule is followed close but not exact.  Here it is:

I created a "cover only" rule for my 6" HDPE pipe.  I have the maximum and minimum cover set to 3.50'.  I have it the same so it will draw my pipe 3.50' deep.  I don't want it to vary.  It for drawing in existing underground power so when we cut profiles and sections the existing power shows up.  We want it to show up 3.50' deep.  I created a label style for my pipe that tells me start cover and end cover of the pipe so I can see it right there on the screen.  The numbers range from 3.50' deep to 4.70' deep.  

Why does the pipe not get drawn in exactly 3.50' deep?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Insertion To Pipe

Jul 31, 2012

I have this block called gate valve. The base point is at the middle of the block. When I use this block as a style and insert it in profile it always places itself down low on the pipe. As you can see the grip is way above the top of the block and I have to move it into place anytime I use one. If I change the pipe inverts the gate valve block style lowers itself once again and I have to move it up into place. I have changed the base of the block but it makes no difference.

This is how the structure look in the object viewer. Notice the one on the right is the block that needs to be raised, however in the viewer it shows placed correctly.
