Basically I have 3dpolylines and some Splines. I would like to create a road file that uses the geometry of these objects to create a single line/crest of road file.
View 5 RepliesThis is with Civil 3D 2013. I am able to create a pline by offsetting an alignment using any drawing on any other workstation in our office, but on my machine I get an error: "1 object(s) were filtered out." when I try to select the alignment.
This leads me to searching for some system variable or something that is different on my machine.
I need to model road with same elevation. But also need to model ditch along road which has a slope of 0.2%. how can i make a ditch with slope.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have made 11 successful intersections in my subdivision, but there is one that just won't work!
When I get to the point where I want to set curb return parameters, the dialog box pops up but there is nothing listed under the quadrants.
If i go ahead and try to make the intersection anyway, I get this message: "one or more of the secondary road profiles cannot be locked".
I need to create an assembly that will give me the volume of a new shoulder along an existing road, as show in this picture.
I can easily make an alignment along my edge of pavement, and match the existing elevations, but I need to hold the cross slope constant AND the shoulder slope constant, and have the bottom of the shoulder slope to a target 2 feet off of my ROW.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have LWPOLYLINEs that represent a cross section of a train tunnel. Each LWPOLYLINE lists its 2D points in an Object Coordinate System.My task is to create 3D Polylines in WorldCoordinateSystem using those LWPOLYLINEs.I have posted a drawing with sample objects.
I have attached a sample drawing. Drawing was created with Civil 3D 2013, but I exporttoautocadr12dxf'd it and then save to 2004 dwg so most should be able to open it.
I am associating fields to polylines to get area square footage. I know there is a better way using AEC objects, but that includes a massive redraw that isn't feasible at this time.
I have included a short animation showing what the current process is. Without redrawing using AEC objects, is there a way to cut down on the amount of clicking to pull of this task?
I am trying to use a pline to create an open ended wall. When I try to 'calculate automatically' by selecting a pline the width of the wall (2 components 8" wide total) the dialogue comes up and asks which component I want to apply the endcap to. I want to apply it to both, but don't seem to have that option.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using one routine very successfully to create a pline in modelspace that has the outline of the chosen viewports in the drawing. This one works great.
Now I am trying add other routines that I've done to better fit my needs. If I use each routine individually at the command line they work, but when I use all in a single command I got the following errors:
The routine SetColor - does not change color to Bylayer The routine RectWidth - ; error: bad SSGET list
Why?
See the attached file for more details and be free to improve whatever you want in my routines because they are very basic.
And, if I am not asking to much, is that possible to not be prompt to select objects? I mean, the routine could automatically select all viewports in the drawing...
Recieved a ACAD converted Microstation File for use in an upcoming construction project. Would like to convert all of the existing ellipses to polylines. Have read several threads that lead me to believe redrawing them is about the only real way to do it. Posting here in hopes of a solution. Drawing contains 127 ellipses, and I dont want to redraw all of them!!

I have some imported points and a polyline created with those.
When i try to rotate the pline around a point it seems that some edges are locked?
Even if I copy this pline in an empty area alone and try to rotate it again i get the same resulsts.i tried the move comand with a vertex as a base and the same reults.
I do not know where the edges are locked .
running an assembly in to the road corridor and creating a surface. i have designed a network of Roads in CIVIL 3d in which whole network is surrounded by a Loop road. The loop road cross fall is unidirectional (2%) and 4.5 wide. I have used LaneOutsideSuperWithWidening subassembly to create the assembly of the road. This doesnt contain any kerb or footpath but only road channel lines, The corridor run soomthly but after creating the of the loop road corridor the surface is becoming flat meaning there isn't any cross fall acoss the road but in the assembly crossfall is there. If i run the same assembly in another road alignment the suface is coming absolutely correct.
I also tried different road assemblies to run along the loop road but the result is same no cross fall across the road.
I am working on Street Improvement Plan using Civil 3D 2012. I have my centerline stationing set for major (100') and minor (50'). My street plan is kind of busy with a several call-out/label, leader etc. I want to set my my station for both major and minor with with decimal to read as 1+00 or 1+ 50 as opposed to 1+00.00... How to get rid of the decimal points.

I also create a boundary in the interior side of the roads with interactively tool, and i use it as a hide boundary.

Seems to do it for anything that is not left aligned. I think it was present in 2013 as well. I use multileaders for annotations a lot since it is easier to use them with the background masks and borders than mtexts.
I am creating P&P sheets for my road. I created view frames, and when I got to create sheets, I pick "all layouts in new drawing". I go to open the new drawing up, but all that shows up/tranfers is the profile and alignment, nothing else comes over ( proposed linework, existing linework, etc.)??????

I am new to Civil 3D and need to customise the look of road profiles so they look like they were produced from any of our other civil design software packages that we use (to maintain standards between offices etc).
The attached picture is what I need them to look like. I want to show both the natural ground (the dotted line) and the design road line (solid). Then I want to write on the profile the station, natural level and the design level.
I've got the Mastering Civil 3D book (and a few others) sitting on my desk.I worked out how to turn off the grid on the default profile althoguh that was about it.

I am preparing to model a road surface for a waterline project. I would like to be able to generate sections at desired stations showing the sewer, storm drains and joint utility trench along with the proposed water line. My plan is to model the road surface using a surface created from gradings and then create the pipe networks and joint trench.
My question is whether gradings or corridors would be the way to proceed. I have preliminary design data on the road surface which is sure to change.
I have an alignment that I want to create a pipe network from using the "Create pipe network from object" command. I am able to create the pipe network, but it only places a structure at the beginning of the alignment. How do I get it to create structures at all of the vertices?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the create feature lines from object command from the Survey pull-down menu and choose a "Associate figure survey point to vertices" I get a survey figure that uses point elevations at some vertices and 0 at others. However, if I use Create Feature Lines from Objects under the Grading pull-down, and use a surface made of just the points, I get a a figure with all the correct elevations.
I checked the vertices where the survey figure drops to 0 and the line is snapped to the point, distance = 0.0000. What gives?
I created an enclosed "object" adding break lines to two different surfaces.
The blue surface shown on the attached drawing is a set of break lines added to "Surface A" and then the red is the other set of break lines added to "Surface B". I have already generated the volume enclosed within the surfaces by doing a surface to surface volume calculation.
My Question:I want to combine the enclosed volume created by Surface A & Surface B into a 3D "Block" that give me the volume information.
I'm creating maps and need to create a brush in Photoshop that will draw Rail Road tracks and follow the direction of the mouse or cursor. I'm just looking for two simple lines with cross marks. I need to be able to just brush around in any direction and have the line look like a simple Rail Road graphic following the direction I draw.
