AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Recreating A Roadway From Paper Plans For Estimating Purposes

Sep 24, 2013

I currently work for a construction company, we mostly focus on roadway rehabilitaion. We recieve DOT paper plans containing the construction plans and cross sections. I have been till now using the cross sections to build the roadway in Agtek, which is the software we use, then from there I can do my takeoff for excavation, utlites and areas. We have the 2012 BIM software and i'm very intersted in using that to rebuild the plans so I can preform the takeoff just as the DOT does as well as to model the utilities. Also i'm intersted in creating the model to show the estimators and the higher ups, so we can create a phasing plans, traffic plans or how we would want to handle the roadway rehab in general. I'm a novice in terms of Civil 3D, so this would be something i'd be practicing at home first.

VideoStudio :: Orange Time Line Too Short For Project?

Jun 4, 2013

I've just upgraded to X6.

My first project is just 2m 3secs long. The top video track has 2m 28secs of video, and the a still photo in place for 3 seconds.

However the orange timeline stop before the final clip (still photo) so when I render/share the project this last slide isn't included.

how I can change the project duration?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Retrieve Project From Time Machine

Oct 11, 2012

I lost an edit I was working on and Time Machine has complete backups for the past several days. I can see and find the backup copy in Time Machine in /usr/discreet/project/ . I can extract it from Time Machine. But how can I make Smoke aware of it and open it?

I tried a few things like I have an existing project called "/usr/discreet/project/Project1", I removed it and put my backup in the same place with the same name, but that doesn't work either.

After Effects :: Random Look Change After Opening Project At Later Time?

Jun 21, 2013

Created a project for a client, saved it, and rendered out a preview.  Today I open the same project which has not been touched since the render and it's a completely different image result.Left is in the project as of today.  Right is same frame from render yesterday.  As I said, no project changes have occurred since render.
 
I've messed around with the blending modes and opacity settings which are still as I left them originally, keyframes and all, yet I cannot get back to the exact same image on the right. Having funky oddities in AE CC?

Revit :: Cost Estimating In Schedules - How To Combine Categories

Jul 27, 2012

I created schedules inc. cost for Light fixtures, Lighting control etc. For each of the 3 schedules I was able to add the cost (based on the cost I put into the family). The problems I'm having are:

if i show the cost in the schedule view, it will show up on the sheet set. i just want to use if for cost estimating, but not show on the plans (i don't want to manually hide/un-hide all the time when i want to see the cost) - i could duplicate that schedule and hide the cos columns on the one i put on the sheet. but that seems archaic and doubles the number of schedules i don't see a way to combine the cost. Right now I only have 3 schedules and can add those up in my head, but like to automatically do that for many schedules. i know i could export to Excel.. but that takes away the whole "Revise instantly" idea and I want to be able to see right away what cost changes when I add or delete items.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Reopen Project - Takes Several Time To Load The Clips

Mar 13, 2013

each time I force quit Smoke with the service monitor in a project when I open the same project after it takes several time to load the clips (EDITDESK: LOADING CLIPS). Sometimes the project just didn't open and stay on the EDITDESK: LOADING CLIPS screen.

There's something I'm doing wrong or my project is totally corrupt ?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Fly Through For Windfarm Project?

Mar 4, 2013

I need to produce a fly through for a windfarm project. I normally would do the 3d linework etc in Civil 3D and then export dxf data out to another package that I produce the 3D flythrough in and apply textures for soil, roads etc. in that package. I can then produce a decent flythrough in a few minutes.

I  have tried some simple flythroughs in C3D but they seem very choppy and not very impressive (and take forever to process). I'm not particularly familiar with C3D for this type of use.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing Points From External Project

May 1, 2013

When I import points from an external project point database (LDD) which I do quite often to import points from 2008 to Civil 3d it works fine for me, but when a co-worker tries doing it from the same exact drawing just a different computer it does not work. Whe he tries to do it, a red "X" appears telling him there is some kind of error. VERY strange and I have no clue why????

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Project Survey Figure To Profile

Oct 15, 2013

I have a survey figure in plan view that I want to project to a profile.  I have a projection style set, and the command settings use this style.  When I project the figure to the profile, nothing shows up. 

If I try it again, the command tells me that an object already exists in the profile and will update it. What am I doing wrong?  What is the correct procedure to project these lines to a profile?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Project Objects To Profile View?

Aug 20, 2012

I ‘ve put some blocks (Cone penetration test) in a profile view. Then I created view frames and sheets.  I tried to insert those blocks into the sheets with the 'Project objects to profile view'  command. I get the message: “There are 10 objects outside the Profile view's station range and will therefore be ignored.”

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Project Sharing To Remote Offices

Oct 12, 2012

My company has recently bought out a smaller firm. IT has setup everything through our "pipeline" so that there is a direct connection to both offices. The servers are all mapped pretty much identically and we are beginning to work on the same projects between the offices. However, this is putting a huge lag on the "pipeline" slowing down all the data going back and forth. Now they would like the Technicians to refrain from opening drawing files over the network.

So, I am wondering if the CLOUD is an option to handle this for our shared projects? Or Vault?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Project Object To Profile View?

Jul 5, 2012

I have an existing alignment and a profile view with a profile of that alignment.  I would like to offset this alignment to show the edges of roadway and add the existing ground profiles to the same profile view.  The edge of roadway lines are 3D polylines and I use the 'project objects to profiile view' to to create the profile.  I select use existing surface for elevations and it does, however, it only picks up elevations where the 3d polyline has verticies.  So where I have a tangent section that crosses a stream it does not show the stream because there are no verticies at that location.  If I create a whole new profile view and select the line it picks up elevations all along the polyline.

there is a way to delete multiple profiles at the same time?

Currently, I have to go through the prospector and delete them one at a time. I have an alignment with many profiles (various walls along the length of the road), but have split the drawing up into several files... How can I delete all the profiles at once?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Project Point Group To Profile View?

Apr 12, 2012

Project objects to profile view... got it. No problems selecting individual survey points or survey figures and projecting to profile view. Is there a way to project a entire point group to a profile. I have a point group created for the large number of points to be projected. Next I right click on the point group and click "select'. Then go to Project objects to profile view. Nothing...

This process works for the survey figures, but not the point groups! In prospector tab go to survey > figures then select CTRL + each figure to project then VIOLA' the whole group of figures are projected.

Is this limited to graphical selections only? If so, is there a workaround to generate a graphical selection set from the point group.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Created Project - No Access To The Figure Properties

Mar 7, 2013

Recently I upgraded to 2013 and I been having some issues with my survey DB, first of all I created a base data shortcuts project template folder with all my folders and a default Survey DB.

once I create my project, and import points to the default DB, I have no access to the Figure Properties. Is this feature, that worked in 11 & 12 now broken in 13? I have gone into the setting and copied a new files to the folder several times, to no avail, and there are no other versions of C3D on this machine.

So now that I have my points in the drawing, I go to translate them to my survey, generally I will utilize line in the drawing between field data, and platted data to translate and rotate to the platted lot or lots and the work from there on any calcs or changes. However, when my OSNAP toolbar is docked and locked and I go to select a point line the midpoint, I have no access to the OSNAPS. This also, worked in 11 & 12, but seems broken in 13.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Associating A Project To Current / Multiple Drawings

Oct 22, 2012

When using the Associate Project to Current Drawing or Associate Project to Multiple Drawings command(s) where does this association data get stored?  When using the Multiple Drawings option I do not see the save time/date being modified on the individual DWG's. 

I also do not note any file being modified under the shortcut working folder which would contain associated drawing names.  How does C3D "know" what project a file is associated with?
