AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export Subassemblies Into Subassembly Composer?

Mar 11, 2013

I understand the procedure for IMPORTING a pkt file from SAC into C3D.  But is there a way to go the other direction?I want to use certain SAs that come with OOB C3D -- but I want to customize them.

Of course I can recreate them -- but I'd rather not start from scratch (ESPECIALLY where it comes to the codes).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Where Is The Subassembly Composer

Aug 15, 2013

I know this sounds like a really stupid question.  Where is the subassembly composer?  We have Civil3D 2013, and my understanding was that the subassembly composer was supposed to automatically install in 2013 as opposed to previous years when you had to download it from the Subscription Center.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer Superelevation

Jul 23, 2013

How to use the superelevation. I read that I have to enter this command:

if((Side=Left)AND(SE.HasLeftLO), SE.LeftLO,
if((Side=Right)AND(SE.HasRightLO), SE.RightLO,
CType(slope,Double)))

but I don't know where, and I just want to create a simple assembly with a slope and delta X and having a lane outside superelevation for the both side.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Point Codes And How They Are Used

Nov 5, 2012

I need to make them my best friend because the Subassembly Composer is basically useless unless you use the proper point coding for your SAs. This I know... I've attached an image from the Autodesk file that shows multiple point codes per link and point for the DaylightStandard Civil 3D Stock SA.

Which point codes must I use in my subassemblies to ensure I can create corridor surfaces properly down the road? For example the DaylightStandard SA shows...

P3 shows: Ditch_Out, Hinge, Hinge_Cut
P3 also shows: Daylight, Daylight_Fill 
P4 = Dayltight, Daylight_Cut

If I'm building something similar in the Subassembly Composer what the heck do I focus in on for my point code. I will have issues with my Corridor surfaces down the road if I don't do this properly up front. I've seen examples where the Input / Output Parameters you define a string for the coding, is this to apply multiple codes to a point or a link?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer Target Surface

Oct 29, 2013

I can import my SA fine, but the problem is that the top of it needs to be cut off 1 m above the existing ground (which is already a surface in civil 3d). 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?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Cannot Be Imported From Composer Properly

Aug 11, 2013

Not sure since when, the previous imported subassembly porperties cannot be modified in civil 3d and importing a new subassembly from the composer is also having issue, cannot see imported shape, just a red circle.

Someone said because of the SP2 installation. I have to go back to SP1 for now.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer Windows Won't Scroll?

Dec 27, 2012

Where Subassembly Composer windows won't scroll? I can scroll with the wheel, but the scrollbars don't work.

If I start a new project, they work for a while, but once I have worked for several minutes, they become disabled again.

I did an uninstall and re-install but I get the same results.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Link Slope To Elevation

Oct 8, 2012

Its a embankment crest (dam wall) and then sloping down at an angle to a target elevation. I want it to shoot through my topo / surface and then apply a boundary later.

It looks fine in Composer but doesn't show up in C3D - only straight line. Would like the same outcome as the Generic Link Code - LinkSlopetoElevation.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Update Existing Custom SAs

Nov 27, 2012

What's the easiest way to update an existing custom SA once it's in the drawing.

For example i have some coding that I'd like to change and this particular SA is in use 10 times in my file in different ways. I used the Subassembly Composer to create the original custom SA.

It's not as easy as saving the file over top of the existing .pkt file, if it was I wouldn't be here. It seems to be behaving like a block would. I need to redefine the Subassembly in order for it to update in the drawing. How is best to do this and is there any tricks to the process. When do i need to open and close Civil in order to apply the new changes.

Do I need to update the SA in my tool palette as well?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Varying Depths And Shapes

Oct 15, 2012

I have a case with the Subassembly Composer where I have 3 varying depths. InsideLane, OutsideLane, and Shoulder. My Base shape below these 3 shapes will not setup properly. I understand why, it's because the varying depths will create a potential step up or down situation depending on the depth of the top 3 shapes. This prevents the definition of the Base Shape. 

For the sake of quantities I'd like to create a Base Shape. I could create Base1 Base2 Base3 (one below Inside Lane, Outside Lane, and Shoulder). I would prefer not to for clarity purposes. 

How could one approach this? I'm thinking that I need some conditional components to clean this up. I'm not a pro writing expressions. I basically need to define the links that define the varying depths between the top 3 depths. I need to create another point and link if the depths vary, and that link needs to be included within the shape definition for Base.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer - Set Default Width When Using Targets

Oct 4, 2012

I can make a small subassembly that can vary it's deltaX and deltaY based on a 3d polyline (or alignment / profile) in  the drawing. However the subassembly does not get put in with default perameters outside of the areas where the targets exist.

I have been trying to come up with a decision tree to tell the subasembly to use default values where there are no targets to use, but I have not been able to find the correct syntax that works for those true/false decisions. My VB language knowledge is clearly lacking..... 

Looking for small .pkt file to show how it is done?

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 :: Subassemblies - Pkt / Dll And Different Computers

May 15, 2013

how subassemblies work, vis a vis pkt files & all the files created in the ProgramData folder (.atc, .cfg, .dll, .emd, .pvd, .xaml, pdb)?  Here's our situation:

A user will make a subassembly, save it locally.  The subassembly is used in a corridor.  A different user tries to access this file: the subassembly is there (shows in plan), but the parameters are empty and that part of the assembly doesn't run.  The subassembly doesn't appear in the Tool Pallet.  You do get a .NET error when trying to look at the subassembly.

How we fix this is to open up the C:ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2013enuImported Tools folder on the computer which made the subassembly, copy everything, and paste it into the other computer's C:ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2013enuImported Tools folder.  How/why doesn't the drawing which has the subassembly in it just work??  And moving forward, how can we share drawings with custom subassemblies?  Remap everyone's .net search path to a network drive?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sub Assembly Composer Editing

Jul 13, 2011

A way to edit the stock Sub Assemblies provided by Autodesk??  I noticed they are compiled into a dll, therefore there is not a way to open them as a pkt that I am aware of.  My intention is not to get rid of what Autodesk has provided but to add on to them. 

Many times I have been asked "This sub assembly is great but can it do this?"  of course it is the one thing that particular sub assembly can't do.  For instance, the Varying Width sub assembly can't extend the top layer while having the sub base layers go in a negative direction.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Aligning Different Subassemblies At Intersection?

Jul 23, 2013

issue with my Corridor.  It involves the intersection of a main road alignment and a secondary road. Thing is my main road has a 6' shoulder whereas my secondary road doesn't have a shoulder at all. I used the Intersection Wizard to create the Intersection, but the two templates don't align. Without the shoulder the ditches don't line up. I tried drawing a polyline between the two ditches and targeting it and that worked, but then realized that going from 6' shoulder to no shoulder wasn't working either so when I tried to target a polyline from the 6' shoulder to the edge of pavement all kind of stuff happened that didn't make sense to me.
