I am trying to export my SSA pipes using XML and import them back into C3D 2012. Everything looks ok, but my HGL and EGL lines do not appear when I turn them on in my pipe style. Is there a way to get these lines on in my C3D profile without hand drawing them in?

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to use SSA 2011 standalone version (We're still using 2011 C3D here). I already have my catchments, flow paths, and impervious areas drawn with polylines in separate C3D DWGs. The SSA User Manual says that I can import elements from DWGs and that's what I'm trying to do. But SSA keeps saying that it's unable to read the DWG files. I closed C3D, so they are not open elsewhere. I've restarted SSA multiple times. I've tried to import 4 different DWGs so far and the only one that works is the "topo" drawing with the ground contours. It says it can't read the other ones.
My goal here is to use SSA to make a SWMM model of a storm sewer line. In the past, I've input the data to SWMM manually after calculating it with C3D. I was hoping that SSA would automate alot of that work for me. Should I pursue this effort or just punt now and go back to doing it manually before my project budget is blown?
I created a fbk with trimble business center. The fbk is all coordinates. C3D 2012 implys this fbk is all control points.
Is there a way to import a fbk so that c3d reads the points as non-control points?
Is there a way to change the points attributes to non-control?
Is there a toggle in C3D so I can edit multiple points before regenerating the network?

I'm using C3D 2014. I created a pipe network, exported it to Hydraflow Storm Sewer, perfermed an analysis, and have HGL/flow data. When trying to import the .STM file, nothing happens. Here's what it does:
1) Import .STM into a Blank/New Drawing -> Creates a pipe network with correct IE, Size, and HGL/Flow Data
2) Import .STM into design drawing -> Choose to Update Network -> No change in network (IE, HGL, etc.)
3) Import .STM into design drawing -> Choose to Create a New Network -> Does not create a new network
I've tried closing C3D, and checking, still no change.
I have the attributes and units I want mapped between the shp file and the import wizard but everthing still imports with default values. (like pipe size or elevation.)
The only thing that is correct is the location. I see a few people have reported this but there aren't any solutions.
I am trying to import a DGM file into Civil 3D.I do this by adding a DGM file to a surface through prospector>surfaces>surface>definition>dgm files,
however the problem I am having is that it defaults to DEM file types which through research I have found out is our american counterparts version of the DGM.

After analyzing a storm system in SSA or Storm Sewers I’m exporting it to a .stm file. When importing to CAD it recognizes the existing pipe network and asks to update it which works but it adds two horizontal purple lines in the profile which are attached to one of the pipes in the profile. If you erase the purple lines it erases the pipe with it.
Things I tried already with no success:
-Erase profile and re-create it
-Erase alignment and re-create it
-Erase all pipes before import (so it would import as new, not update)
-Try LandXML for export/import (this wouldn’t update pipes, it just brought in a whole new network and messed up all the styles/parts)
Here is what it looks like:

I'm having an issue within the DGNIMPORT command related to a mapping setup that only partially maps..
I'm using the DGNIMPORT command in a nearly empty civil3D drawing. I created a mapping setup to map over the levels to layers, the line styles to linetypes and the line weights. The levels successfully become layers, the lineweights are mapped appropriately... but the Linetypes are NOT.
I've attached two screen shots to illustrate the issue. The first shows the window with my mapping setup.
The second shows the 'preview' for the setup (Microstation Linestyles 1,6,7 are sent to continuous instead of to the 3 line types I created for the mapping process...)
I need to import .dgn elevation data (DEM?) into Civil 3D. When I attempt MAPIMPORT, DGNIMPORT, DGNATTACH, or from the "Insert" ribbon selecting "Import" and .dgn as the file type, Civil 3D will not respond and has to be closed and reopened.
The information likely includes surface and/or breakline information. Please see the attached (change file format from .txt to .dgn).
And if Civil 3D 2013 simply cannot import this information, does the Infrastructure Design Suite/Civil3D 2014 can?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am able to easily import sanitary sewer pipe and structure information from existing GIS information using the import wizard. I do have one issue that I can't figure out how to fix: even though I match the material field in the GIS shapefile to the material field in the import wizard, the material for the imported pipe network defaults to concrete pipe. I have tried updating the shapefile and the part in Part Builder so that the material information matches exactly, but it still happens. I can work around this by selecting "Swap Part" for each pipe and then selecting the correct pipe material and diameter, but this can be tedious when dealing with a lot of pipes.
how to get the pipe material to import correctly?
I'm using the GENIO import tool and have run into a problem - the data is imported but due to the way the data is used in MX there are a multitude of crossing 3D polylines (see screenshot).
The strings are all "L" strings which are typically used in MX to define open areas where spot levels are surveyed (would be points in C3D).
The only way I can see to get around this is to create Civil Points at each vertex and use these in the surface build - any better solution (apart from requesting a triangular DTM of the MX surface)?
I went to import some line label styles from my template with the Style manager and found about they were grayed out. For some reason the curve styles were not. Why would this be? The new drawing only had a standard line label style.

I am trying to use Civil 3d 2013 with Trimble Link. My procedure is to download the file with trimble link and then follow the wizard from there. My .fbk imports fine, but if I need to edit anything I find that it is missing from the folder that I just imported it from.
If I copy and rename the .fbk prior to importing it I can import and edit the re-named file no problem, it just seems to be the initial import done by the wizard that deletes the file.
