AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Offset-Elevation Labels In Sections
Oct 4, 2011I have several hundred cross sections for a surface that I need to label the major section breaks. Civil 3D gives the option of weeding based on distance, but I want to label only the major grade breaks (i.e. more than 1%). Is this possible, or is the only option manually labeling the section?

Apr 28, 2013I have some cross sections showing existing and finished grade. The finished grade is a channel and floodplain with slopes to catch existing ground. I’d like to create a report of the offset and elevation at each grade break for the finished grade. Optionally, it could be offset and cut or fill at each grade break. I’ve found the tool to create annotation for the offset and elevation info, but the cross sections are too small on the drawings to accommodate all that text. Is there a way to generate a report for the section view group or even each section view that would contain that information?

May 14, 2012I am trying to create a station-offset label style that will drop the trailing zeros in the offset section - e.g. 15' instead of 15.00', but if the offset is not at a whole number, e.g. 15.01, etc. it will display the entire offset.
I created two expressions: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
and this one: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)!=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
I then created two offset components, one called truncated, and one called full, and assigned the heights to match the expressions.
I have attached the file, the style is ACHD-Sta Off-Rt [copy]

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Elevation Label That Give Spot Elevation

It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

-latest civil 3d service pack
A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Offset Alignment Labels
Apr 29, 2013Can I offset my alignment labels?
I want to show the alignment staining #'s but I also have a corridor and sample lines running through the stationing that I want to see. I do not wish to drag every alignment label and then have the leader showing.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Footways With Offset Assembly?
Feb 12, 2012I designed a very straight forward piece of road consisting of a centreline, 2 channels and a footway either side. I played around with superelevation, assemblies and created a corridor. This all works fine.
Now when I add a taper to my offset alignments (for instance to widen the carriageway at a junction approach in order to add a splitter island), I noticed that the corridor stays perpendicular to the centreline. So this means the 2m wide footway I specified is not actually 2m wide, measured perpendicular from the curb. (See attached)
I have figured out that I can achieve this by attaching an offset assembly to the curb and attach the footway sub-assembly to the offset assembly. (So the curb acts a bit like a subsidiary string in MX). However, in order to make this work, I need to assign the horizontal alignment and Profile of the offset alignment to the Offset in the Corridor Properties Parameters (see attached). So far I have only managed to do this by creating a temporary surface which is wider than the curbs, so I can apply a profile to the offset alignment.
This seems a bit of a silly work around for such a standard simple highway design principle. Is there an easier way to create footways that are not perpendicular to the centreline?
Why is the superelevation I have assigned to the centreline, not projected onto the offset alignments? If this was the case, the offset alignments would have had a profile automatically?If you attach the offset assembly to the curb, why does it not automatically know it should stay attached to the curb? ie, remove the need to specify te horizontal alignment in Corridor Parameters?Is there a curb subassembly in existance that will project anything attached to it, perpendicular?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Offset Alignment Routine
Nov 8, 2013We have been playing with offset alignments, and the tool appears very useful, especially in regards to laying out subdivision streets with curb, sidewalks, row, etc. In order to shortcut the process, I am hoping to develop a routine that will gather offset data for each type of offset, and then apply the appropriate styles, label sets, naming convention, etc.
We started going down the path of using Lisp or a recorded macro, but it quickly became obvious (through trial and error and some quick "googling") that another approach may be more suitable. I have attached a screenshot of an example of what we would like to automate.

I know I can set a feature at the base of the wall and "manually" use a reference point and set the slope to 3:1, but I was looking for a more efficient way of doing this?
I am in C3D '09 right now, but we are in the process of upgrading to '14. Maybe (fingers crossed) this is in the updated version.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Station Offset Label
May 19, 2012I am trying for last hour but cannot make this work. I have attached screen shot of a dynamic label with some text. The problem is as you add degree symbols and inch (") symbols and paratheses to the text, the leader starts to intersect the station value. I want to move the leader a little below the sta. value so the station vallue is readable. When I move the leader the text moves with it. I tried everything in edit label text option but cannot seem to fix it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Offset A Surface Perpendicular To All Grades
Apr 7, 2010Any way to raise/lower a surface, but is there a way to offset a surface basically 1m (to make it easy) perpendicular to all grades? Because when you raise/lower a surface, if you have a 3:1 slope, it will raise/lower it vertical 1m or so, but then the perpendicular distance between the 2 surfaces is less then 1m.

Also, for surface, the surface doesn't even show up now. This is the 1st time with this problem too. I created the surface, assigned the point group and still no contours.
Also, out of curiosity, during the point import stage....what is "assign offset to point identifiers"? does this mean, if points are right on top of each other, it will be automatically offset to read?
