AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Error - Attempt To Evaluate A Plane With Zero Normal
Feb 4, 2009
It appears when we attempt to open the file then C3D crashes.
Modeling Operation error: Attempt to evaluate a plane with zero normal.
One of my users got this error in a drawing with about 8-10 fairly complex grading objects in it. I had told him not to leave them as grading objects but he was convinced he could make it work.

I had this error show up two days ago. My machine maxes my memory out at 12gb when I try to open this file. I've tried to do a recovery, open the .bak and .sv$ files, and insert it into a new drawing but none of this worked. I was able to open it in True View and convert it to another DWG file. Doing this, I saved all my line work, but lost my models. I recreated my drawing from the line work and everything was fine up until now.
I am getting this error again but I can't recover it. I can't do the True View thing this time either. Everything on this project is gone now.
I don't know if AutoCAD Civil 3D just has serious issues, or if it is our network. C3D constantly processes and starts acting strange after an hour or so of working with it. Things like Duplicate sites, or not being able to move feature lines from one site to another.
Our network though is running out of space. We only have a 1Tb server, but in Windows Explorer, the bars are red with only 28.5gb free, and I'm sure it hasn't had any maitanance like defragmentation in a very long time.

I would like to be able to offset a 3D Sketch in a direction normal to a plane. In the attached image, I have drawn in an orange color the direction I would like the 3DSketch to offset.The white line is where the new sketch would be.
The yellow surface is the 3dsketch extend to a plane
There might be some tools in Inventor that will do what I am trying, but I have not found it yet. I have tried extend surface, but that will not take it the direction I want.

I have recently upgraded to Lightroom 5. When I try to export a fairly large number (about 60) images as JPG, I get an error message "attempt to index a nil value" and some images do not export. When I view the images in the library and export them individually, the export works. So I conclude that the images are not corrupt, but that there is a bug in the software.

I recently began using lightroom and stored the files on the local drive of my macbook pro (current os) until I ran out of space. Exported the catalogue to an external HD, then deleted the files from the local drive. As I tried to import the .lrcat file associated with the export to the external HD and received this error:
"Can not import from this catalog at this time. The catalog is either in use by another copy of Lightroom or was closed improperly. If it was closed improperly, please consider doing an integrity check when opening."
I am not running LR on any other computers so I figure Lightroom was "closed improperly".

Our company has recently purchased civil 3d and im in the process of learning it. I was wondering if there is a way to transfer the normal autocad customization file over to civil 3d and if works. I re-did my hot keys and they dont work either.
I was thinking of having a 2d workspace and a 3d workspace as well.

I was recently trying to find the normal depth in a natural channel to use as an outfall water surface elevation in SSA. I double checked the normal depth calculations using the Express Add-On in Civil 3D. I found that while the normal depths correlated closely for channels with a single roughness coefficient, they varied considerably if a composite roughness coefficient was used for the left and right overbanks. This leads me to believe that composite roughnesses are being calculated incorrectly in SSA. I would like to use SSA for floodplain analysis, but am unwilling to do so until I have confidence in the calculations.

I'm preparing for our office wide install of Infrastructure Design Suite 2014 so we can begin training/using Civil 3D 2014.
I’m reading through readme file for the Architecture-MEP 2014 Object Enabler & noticed that it’s installed as part of the normal installation of all AutoCAD 2014 based products, including Civil 3D…woohoo! Unfortunately, the Structural & Plant OE’s don’t appear to have a readme file. Are these also installed as part of the normal installation of C3D 2014? Or will they need to be installed separately?

I was wondering if it was the COND statement that I would need to use to evaluate a block to confirm that two attribute tags existed and if so, if would process the block to perform an attribute extraction of both of those tags. It would ignore blocks that only had one or the other attribute tags - and only extract the attribute values if the block had BOTH of the tags present - It could be blank, but it had to exist.
For example, I want to find blocks that have the attribute tag "PART_A" and "ID" - and then create a CDF that has the value of "PART_A" in the first column and "ID" in the second column. Then it closes my CDF file.
Then, I want it to scan my drawing again for blocks that contain attribute tag "PART_B" and "ID" and then re-open that CDF file and append the values so that the values of teh attribute "PART_B" is in the first column and the values of the tag "ID" are in the second column.
I have been playing with the following code --- is there anyway to modify the code to get it to do what I need? I have already removed the part that writes the header-row....

I migrated from AC3D 2010 32-byte to AC3D 2012 64-byte recently. When I migrate my projects to 2012 and open the old 2010 drawings in 2012 I lose the surface lines out of my section sets. It doesn't seem to bother the profile views, only the section views.
Is there a way to work around this problem w/o having to regenerate the section views?

I want to evaluate text frames for their x axis and if they are the same shift them slightly because of adobes irritating habit of combining the text frames when it makes a PDF. I have been able to evaluate, but not exactly like I want to but I know it can be done...
var mydoc = app.activeDocument;var mytext = mydoc.textFrames;var allX_Vaues = new Array();for (i =0; i < mytext.length; i++) {var mytextFrames = mydoc.textFrames[i];var theMatrix = mytextFrames.matrix;allX_Vaues.push(theMatrix.mValueTX)var firstEval = allX_Vaues//$.writeln(theMatrix.mValueA+"
"+theMatrix.mValueB+"
"+theMatrix.mV alueC+"
"+theMatrix.mValueD+"
"+theMatrix.mValueTX+"
"+theMatrix.mV alueTY);//alert(allX_Vaues);}//alert(allX_Vaues[1]);for (i =0; i < allX_Vaues.length; i++) {if (allX_Vaues[i] == allX_Vaues[i + 1] ) {alert(allX_Vaues[i] + " and " + allX_Vaues[i +1] + " are the same");}else{alert(allX_Vaues[i] + " and " + allX_Vaues[i +1] + " are different");} }
[code]....
my problem is when I try to move text frames. It flies way of the page. I just want to move the text a slight amount and concatenate is the only way I have been successful. my question is: Is there a better way and why is my text flying so far of the page?

I am working on Inventor 12, previously Inventor 10 and recently (approx 4 months ago while I was still on Inventor 10), all of a sudden, if I tried to open a drawing where components had been deleted for example, it would not try and resolve the links, just straight crash the program.

Running on WinXP SP3 / AutoCAD 2012 LT.
Whenever I use MTEXT or DLI, I can't edit the text box that is created without it crashing AutoCAD. Not sure if this would happen with other commands, but it seems to be linked to editing the text blocks.

This morning I opened AutoCad LT 2005 and was going to print a map with multiple layers. Everytime I tried to open the layers tool AutoCad LT 2005 would lock up. I would go to the task manager and it showed that it was still running but I could not do anything in the program. I closed Autocad LT from the task manager and opened up a blank document and tried to view layers and it locked up once again. I re-installed AutoCad LT 2005 from original disk and still I have the same behavior.

I am going to try a cd layout. When I open the templates in Photoshop 7 do I have to choose 300 dpi (the same dpi required for the images I have saved); make all the same choices as I have to for the images, (ie) CYMK, 5x5 inches, 300 dpi etc.? When I have the template open, what is the best way to bring the image to the template?
Is the template considered a layer? Do you always see the template through the image as you are working with layers? What is the easiest way to start another layer? How do you save each layer? How do I make my jpg become a photoshop file? Some of these Qs might be dumb but if you can answer them I may be able to fly.
