AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing SDF From Hec RAS
Jan 14, 2013
I have been trying to import/export information to create a flood map using hec ras. I succesfully (not without some pain), imported the geometric data into HEC RAS and did my analysis. I create the .sdf and try to import it to Civil 3D, but, while it appears to have imported succesfully, it does not show the water lines.
As a matter of fact, CIVIL3D indicates at some point that the minimim and maximum elevations are both 0.00m.
I checked the .sdf file, which I attach, and it looks fine to me. It has the information of the water level as it should.

I am using different functions in Civil 3D 2012 in order to import DGN files.
Open->DGN
MapImport->DGN
Import->DGN
Everytiome I receive "0 object(s) inserted in 0 sec(s)".
Obviously importing is not working! Am I missing some object enabler or is a system variable incorrect?

I am trying to import a SHP file to obtain a surface. The imported data come in a polyline.
The data containt x and y as well as elevation. But, when I use the command
" mapimport " , the imported data only have 4 elevation ( 1,2,3 and 4). This is rather unexpected because the line represent the topography of a large area.
I am working under Civil-3D 2013. The original data are okay, they were exported from GIS and they works fine on this station.

I'm working in C3D 2009 and I have received some GIS data files that I would like to import. I don't work with GIS files in my daily work so I am not familiar with them. Although I have an idea of what kind of information can be stored in the GIS files. I've managed to get the data into my drawing using mapimport, but how do I know that I have successfully inserted all of the information that was sent to me?
I was given shx, shp, dbf, idx, prj, sbn, sbx, and xml files. All I have in my drawing are polylines that have a little bit of extra information when the properties box is displayed. It just seems like a lot of files to be sent to only receive a polyline. Although all of the files except the shp files have only 1kb file sizes, and the shp file is 400 kb. So perhaps I was just sent extra files?

I used the Import XML for an alignment and I can see that the Alignment exists in my drawing because I see it in my Toolspace under Prospector, but how do I label the alignment and actually see it on my screen?

I see you can import junctions from GIS shapefiles, but can you import inlets? I have hundreds of inlets (mostly grate inlets) and I need to import the inlet type and inlet opening dimensions. I have a shap file with the inlet data, but I'm unable to import it into SSA with all the information I need.
I know you can import shapefiles as junctions and convert them to inlets, but then you would have to manually input the dimensions of the inlet. Is it possible for SSA to automate this processs?

I am looking into switching to AutoCad Civil 3D from MxRoads. Up to now I have been using Mx and have a large back catalogue of roads work all in MX formats, Input files, Genios etc.
Given that Mx is string based and Civil 3D appears to be section based, I'm wondering if when you import a genio created in Mx, is there a way to "link" a carriageway string to the master string, without having to recreate the alignment from scratch. If I needed to do a quick change to a vertical alignment or a road widening I want to be able to do without reinventing the wheel! I need to ensure that the program can recognize the relevant way string that matches the Master string.

Trying to import a Windes file into C3D using Microdrainage WinDes Link (import from file) under Toolbox in the UK & Ireland reports section... but coming up with an unhandled exception error each time. Is the only way to go about it or can you import it via another means i.e under the import tab??
what the best way to import a windes file into C3D?

I am having problem importing data from two different source. The first one is hypso data and is supposed to be in lat / long from the CSRS. When I import the shape file in C3D using these specification, the white arrow appears in the center of the drawing, and everything seems fine.
Now then, I have those data point from land survey with a GPS I wish to had to my surface. When I import my text file ( which is in P - X - Y - Z format ), the point appears way offside of the hypso drawing.
So I was wondering, how can I know the system in which those point were recorded. Once I know this, how can I specify to C3D that the hypso is in a certain system, and the GPS point in another one, so that they will come together ?

I am working with our surveyor to import fieldbook file into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. To convert raw into fbk I used the Survey Data Collection Link. I get a error message during the conversion "Bad raw data line at line 10. Unable to continue. Line:BK,OP7,BP563,BS".
I am assuming the problem is no value is set for the back sight azimuth. I went and edited the raw file giving the back sight azimuth a value of 0 and the program successfully converted the file to fbk format.
I've created a new database, and import events. When importing the created field book file I get an error at line 12 "Error: you must occupy a point first." Is there something missing in the raw or fbk file that is causing this error?
Here is the original raw file and the converted fbk file.

I am bringing in the points by importing survey data because I don't want anyone to be able to edit the point data.
Vive noticed that they can be erased and that you can explode them.

In Civil 3D 2013 I'm attempting to import styles from another drawing. Whenever I select the Import button under Manage > Styles I get a warning box pop up that says "The drawing has unsaved modifications. Please save the drawings and then perform the style import again".
This occurs even after I hit save or reopen the drawing.

I am trying to import PTX or LAS files into Civil 3D and keep getting coordinate errors. Meaning, the scan data comes in at the right size (I've verified dimensions in RealityLINx) but for some reason the scans keep coming in close to the 0,0,0 point. I have tried two seperate projects, one with arbituary coords (7000, 7000, 600) and another with state plane coords (NAD27, Zone 5).
I have tried two ways... Through the Prospector using the CREATEPOINTCLOUD command. The scan data is in metric units and I have not found a way to convert the scan data, in Civil 3D, to feet units.
The other way I have tried is through the POINTCLOUDINDEX command. This command will convert my PTX or LAS files into a PCG and upon insertion into the drawing, I am able to give it a scale factor to try and convert to feet.
Like I said, I have done this all day today, with separate projects and keep getting the same results. I have inserted the scan data in both metric and feet units, measured identical objects and have come up with the same dimensions between the both units. But I still cannot get them to land where they need to.
I am unsure if this is a coordinate system error but most of the stuff that we scan is in an arbitrary system, so I am not sure if assigning a coordinate system will do the trick.

We have a points file to create a "bottom of peat level" surface. The only problem is, along with the X and Y, it only gives us the distance from OGL, not the actual Z Elevation at each point. How do we import these into C3D to create a surface? We have a topo survey for the whole site, so we have and EG surface.

We have some clients that are using version 2011 and we are using 2014. The landxml we made for them was too big for them to import. My boss made a DEM GEOTIFF to send as it was much smaller.
The client has called me and asked me how the heck does he import the file as he as never worked with them. I have a computer with a 2012 installation, but it's corrupt, none of the MAP utilities work.
how to instruct my client to import this file.

Can I import KMZ files into AutoCAD Civil 3D R.2013, or do I need to purchase an add-on package that will make it work? Does it work with just AutoCAD Map 3D?
If not, how do you import KMZ files into AutoCAd Civil 3D?

Getting odd results when importing pipe networks from StormCad v.8 via LandXML? I'm using the stand-alone version for C3D 2008. It always puts the outlet gound elevation at zero. Sometimes it puts the pipe centerline elevations at the rim elevations of the structures. Sometimes it reverses the pipes on their own centerline, causing really weird results.
I have opened every XMLfile with XML Notepad and checked that the data that came out of StormCad is correct. But something in the translation back to C3D 2008 goes haywire. I love C3D, if only I could be more confident of importing pipe data.

When I import points from an external project point database (LDD) which I do quite often to import points from 2008 to Civil 3d it works fine for me, but when a co-worker tries doing it from the same exact drawing just a different computer it does not work. Whe he tries to do it, a red "X" appears telling him there is some kind of error. VERY strange and I have no clue why????

we have some styles to import into our drawings and when we try to import them, we get
INTERNAL ERROR: !dbobji.cpp@8749: eNotOpenForWrite
We don't have a functional work around for this yet. We're using C3D 2014 (IDSP). We can get this error importing styles into some existing CAD files, but not all. We can create a brand new, blank drawing and attempting to import these styles will cause the error. The error occurs during the 'verifying imported styles' progress bar in the lower left.
We thought we were getting somewhere when we exported to dwg 2013 format and opened that and we could then import styles with no issue. Unfortunately, in exporting to dwg 2013 format, we lose all of our surface and point data. Doing a saveas to 2013 apparently does nothing more than just save the drawing and that will still not allow importing of styles.
how to get our style templates to successfully import into all of our CAD files.

The crashing is consistent every time I try this. Here is how I replicate the problem:
- Open a SheetSet.
- Right click on the sheetset and select Transmittal Setups.
- Click import.
- Select a template DST and click open.
- Check a setup and click import checked.
Civil 3D Locks and an error saying "AutoCAD Application has stopped working" pops up and whamo. I have custom eTransmit settings and here they are just in case,

Let's say you created some Label Styles, and want those Label Styles to be available in another existing drawing.
Do you have to insert the drawing (which has the desired Styles) into the existing dwg? I tried DesignCenter, but it does not seem to have the ability to import Label Styles or Point Label Styles.

I was wondering what is the difference between importing points under the Prospector tab versus importing points under the Suvey tab? And how either of the two methods relate to using Data Shortcut?
I would like to create a survey topo drawing that contains points and surface information which other Design drawings that are attached to the Data Shortcut project can access but not be able to make any changes to the original points and existing surface information.
