AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Manually Enter A Traverse
Apr 11, 2012If you were to manually enter a traverse in 2012 how would you do it? I mean:
1. Set up on a known point
2. Backsight a known point
3. Move the setup a few times
4. Foresight a known point (either the same BS point above - closed - or another known point - closed connected)
The COGO geometry editor does not really seem to do this.
Am I limited to the survey command editor and the survey command language? Or is there something else?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Perform Traverse Adjustment
Jul 27, 2012How do you perform a traverse adjustment using a fbk file?
I have imported a fbk file through a network in the database. It is a quick loop that was run in the parking lot. The initial set up was 1 BS 2 the stations were 3, 4, 5, and the final FS was 6. 5 and 6 were the overlapping leg of 1 BS 2.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Include Sideshots From Field Book File In Adjustment Of Traverse
Oct 29, 2012How do I include sideshots from a field book file in the adjustment of the traverse? In LDD you would import the FBK, then when imported, after defining loop you could check adjust loop to your specs. If it looked ok, you coould adjust loop, then when complete the command line asked if you wanted to adjust sideshots. You could select Yes or No and they would (or would not) be adjusted also. In Civil 3D 2013, I have imported the same FBK. When imported I have defined the traverse. I can then adjust the traverse to my specs, but it will not include the sideshots. The sideshots do not list in the Networks Non-Control Points list, so I am thinking this is my problem.
I have also edited the FBK to remove the traverse legs and just run as sideshots from the already adjusted loop values, but it still does not appear to work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculate Paint Area Of One-side Open Container With Double Bottom?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Calculate Average Slope
Feb 20, 2013What formula Civil3D uses to calculate the average slope of a surface?
The formula I am using is S = I*L/A
S = Average Slope
I = Contour Invertval
L = Length of Contours (ft)
A = Area of parcel (sq. ft)
I just had to do four parcel calcs and the percentage I find using the formula is always 1-3% lower than the percentage Civil3D spits out. I can't find anything about how Civil3D arrives at that number, it just appears. I assume that Civil3D is more accurate but I can't give that number to a client without knowing how the program arrived there.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate Catchment Areas
May 1, 2013Trying to calculate a catchment area to allow me to size some culverts using Civil 3D 2012 Sp#1.
" The specified location results in a Catchment with no area."
After sitting for 15 miutes I keep getting the above message. The surface is huge and there is an obvious catchment area (or I think it is obvious). The surface was generated from contours and cover an area of approx. 8Km x6.5Km but the catchment ares should be around 15-20% of that area.
I tried another one upstream about a Km and it worked fine. So the one I am doing now should encompass the upstream area as well as from that point downstream to the Discharge Point.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate Difference Between 2 Different Cross-sections?
Feb 5, 2013With reference to the picture attached, I am trying to find the overlapping area between two different cross-sections. I.e.the area of green minus the area of white.
The hard way to do it would be to sketch a closed polyline over the area I want but I have about 100 of these to do and more to come.

Oct 11, 2013Is there a way to have C3D calculate your cut generated from a pipe network? I have a site with storm, sewer, and water lines. All of which are on 3 seperate pipe networks. I also have my finished grade surface established.
I know you can get the volume difference between two surfaces (EG&FG) but you would think you could do this for the pipe networks as well...

Nov 9, 2013Calculating stripping using a corridor.
All we have is an alignment and a surface. In one region we need to calculate the stripping that is 6m wide x 1m deep.
I used LinkOffsetOnSurface to get the surface elevation on the left and right side.
I then tried using the stripping subassemblies but no luck.
because we have a number of regions and assemblies we would rather use corridors than creating a stripping surface.

Sep 5, 2012I’m using 2011, due to printing issues in 2013. My question relates to determining how runoff gets diverted, or spreads out, after leaving a well defined channel.
I have a street intersection scenario. It’s a “Y” situation in which the main trunk of the “Y” is curbed and contains all the water for the three storms I’m studying. Runoff flows towards the two streets that branch off. I need to know what percentage of runoff water splits during the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storms from the main (curbed) roadway to the other two streets - one curbed, one uncurbed.
I assume that velocity, runoff volume, storm intensity, street cross sections, slopes, and other variables play a big role in how the water diverts, but I’m not sure how to set up this scenario in SSA. Do I somehow use a weir? Do I use an open channel, or user-defined channel? I have a subbasin area defined with my concentration point at the end of my main curbed street before the water splits off. I’m not sure where to go from here when it comes to inserting links, weirs, channels, etc.
how I can set this up? I’m not even sure it’s possible to have the software provide this type of calculation.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Calculate Spread On Random Spots Throughout The Street

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Map - Calculate Area-proportional (weighted) Average Out Of Metadata
Aug 6, 2012I have an acad document connected to some .shp files, which contain polygonal shapes with some meta-tags.
I want to achieve the following: draw a polygonal shape and select all the tangent areas (I already know how to do so)take a property of those areas and calculate an area-proportional [or: area weighted] average value (proportional to the partial area defined by the drawn polygonal shape). I tried to achieve this by splitting the objects and merging them again with defined splitting (area proportional) and merging (average) options. The problem is: splitting & merging doesn't work until I disconnect the data files (checking the objects out doesn't work) and even then I can't split the areas. And, more important: This doesn't create a weighted average and I don't even want to manipulate the objects! I just want to get one value out of all these steps.
I appended a screenshot of my file. E.g. I want to take the value 923.2 and multiply it with the corresponding area percentage it represents in the drawn shape. So the calculation would look something like 0.02*923.2 + 0.2*926 + 0.12*945,9 [...] until all the 100% are covered and I get one single representative value.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate Area Using Polyline - Calculation Not In Square Feet?

Also how to insert a table of cut and fill area analogous to the one you can inset from the volumes dashboard.
