Any program or routine in lisp or net that can select a group of 3d polylines in the form of a tin and convert them all to 3d faces?
I know that I can take the 3d polylines and explode them to 3d lines. Then I can use map clean to delete the duplicate lines. Then I can create a C3D surface using the 3d lines. Then I can extract 3d faces from the surface.
is there an option or a lisp routine to create a 3d boundary from closed 3d polylines?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have just finished modelling hundreds of pits/manholes in 3d, to import into 12d as required by our current project.
After importing into 12d we have realised that all the faces are back to front as the dark edges are facing outwards, and the light edges are facing inwards on the pits.
Is there a way to globally flip, or perhaps a lisp routine to flip all the faces?
I work with polylines a lot to maintain Facility Space and I come across polylines that are overlapping. Is it possible to have a routine to find polylines that are overlapping? Sometimes I really have to zoom in pretty close to see if they are overlapping and sometimes it's pretty obvious.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to convert "polylines" (as opposed to "2d polylines") to 3d polylines. Here is the issue: the polylines that I want to convert have object data attached to them and they are at the proper Z elevation. When I use the "Convert 2d to 3d polyline" function, the conversion does take place, but all of my object data is removed from the object. And since one of my attributes reflects the overall elevation of the object (which all of the verticies will be the same elevation - even though it will be a 3d polyline), there are too many objects to individually update the attribute information when I am pressed for time.I am working in Civil 3d 2010. Any way to do this using Civil 3d?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have some polylines that mark the edge of roadway and around the curves there are arcs in the linework. How do I turn the polyline with arcs in it into a polyline with vertices, say, every .5' or so along the curve and turn the curve into a polyline? I tried the pedit and using decurve but it doesn't work well.

Any way to convert all of the single line text in exisitng drawings to multiline text without having to do them individually in Civil3d.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs the above mentioned, I have a drawing drawn using polylines with width from someone. The width of the line are suppose to represent area,
To put things into prospective, here is an example:
The polyline is 10 unit long and with a width of 2 unit wide. If i explode that polyline, it will become a single polyline without width. The line are suppose to represent 10 unit long and 2 unit wide; representing an area.
My question is is there a way to change the line above directly from polyline with width to a close polyline (4 x polylines) of 10 unit long and 2 unit wide.
Is there a way of converting 3d polylines to polylines with an elevation?
I have a dwg of contour information, the contours are 3d polylines, because they are contours the z value is constant all along the line, so there no question what the elevation of the polyline would need to be.
I need to do this as I then need to import the dwg into a GIS programme called MapInfo whch doesn't read 3d polylines.
I have access to AutoCAD 2004 or 2005LT.
Any lisp routine that will remove "phantom parcels" in a drawing? They are the parcels many topics on this discussion forum have topics on, that can be selected but can't be deleted by any simple means.
The drawing is relatively new...with minimal objects in it. Just some Feature Lines and 3D Polylines. I have Sites in my drawing...but no parcels. Only thing in the sites are the feature lines. When I do a Q SELECT for the parcels it selects and highlights my feature lines, which is weird.
I'm trying to make a LISP routine that will match point style, label style, marker rotation, label rotation and layer for a selected point to multiple other points. I don't know what the exact variable names are or how to find them.
See the post below for code that is similar too what I'm looking for.

Having trouble with my lisp routine to read from a directory which includes several folders. There is no problem when the files are all mixed in the directory but when dealing with hundreds of files, it makes sense to organize files by types.
Using (ade_aliasadd "BASE" "S:\") and there is no problems when the files are actually there and not in a subfolder called APN_DWG or EAS_DWG. Should I be setting up the environment differently and if so how?
i've been trying to write a lisp shortcut for drawing cleanup but it keeps asking me for a profile name to load and i cant figure out how to add my .DPF file to my routine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to write a routine to thaw all layers in current drawing and multiple xrefs; then freeze all, then thaw only certain layers globally for a drawing that is open. Such as a dimension plan will thaw only *-BLDG, *-DIMS, *-RD-*, *BNDRY.
I would like to create one that will fit every project which has a different xref name.
I need an offset lisp routine to offset a selected line a set distance on each side of the selected line and change the layer of the offset lines to the current layer, and then keep prompting me to select the next line for offsetting until I'm finished.

i was wondering if there is a way to convert multiple lines (non collinear) into polylines?
this to be able to add the "global width" property to the objects.
I am looking for a method to convert 3d surfaces or regions into 3d faces so that they can be imported in RISA. I currently have a model with 3d faces (see attached), but do not know a method for adding the openings shown in red.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been sent a series of CAD drawings in which the author has used global width to define the appearance of features. I need to import this into our GIS, which for reasons too complex to bother with won't import any attributes such as width. I don't want to lose the information recorded so was wondering if it's possible to create a closed polygon to represent the shape of the line. I guess something might be possible using buffering, but I can't figure out how to use the existing line width.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a TIN (triangulated irregular network) of an existing survey in my terrain modelling software (12d Model). I am able to export (save-as) the TIN as 3D Face Triangles for opening in AutoCAD (2012) or similar.
My ultimate goal is to create a solid surface in Inventor. The surface has to be seemless (stitched) in order for me to create a new sketch and extrude to this surface. Finally giving me a part in Inventor that represents my ground. I would then want to use the same process to bring into Inventor all other Civil Design works created in 12d Model such as roads, earthworks platforms (including dams) etc.
I've tried stitching (Inventor and Microstation) without success. Inventor keeps crashing and Microstation looses data. AutoCAD (2012) won't let me create a polyface mesh from 3D Faces. I tried doing a mesh, surface union without success. Programs either crash or data is lost.

I put mleader into a LISP routine and it is doing the text attached to it only in the command line instead of in the drawing is ther a way to put mleader into a LISP routine and have it do the same as when you just type in mleader?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are moving from AutoCAD Map 3d ver 10 to ver 11. There's a lisp routine I use all the time and it doesn't seem to want to work in the newer version 11. this routine is supposed to fill but like I said doesn't work in ver. 11.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically, the routine asks for the user to choose the hatch type (Retirer/Percer), then the layer (Defpoints/Select/Current) and finaly the type of the object to draw (Polyline/Rectangle). My original routine has also a Circle and a Boundary options, and an Error trap to reset the variables but I will keep it simple for the purpose of my issue.
So, my issue is: when I choose the type of object to draw, it draws just one of it and the routine ends. I would like to have something that "says" to the routine that I want to keep drawing that object (Polyline or Rectangle) and putting the hacth inside until I do enter and then the routine goes to its end.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created an acad.lsp file in where I want to arrange all our company settings. I've stored it on the network to make sure everyone will use the same one and when updates take place I don't have to run past all pc's to change it. I've set everything in the deployment package but users can still change it when they reset their profile. Plus some pc's are already installed with AutoCAD before creating the lisp routine, how can I enforce the support directory to check on the network for the acad.lsp each time?

Easy way (or LISP routine) to do radial line hatching in AutoCAD 2006. What I mean is the ability to hatch an object, such as a ring (or doughnut) such that the hatching lines are in between the two rings, and are all perpendicular to the circle. Even better would be a generic routine to allow hatch lines to follow arcs (but that would be dreaming too big for now). Perhaps there is some sort of sweep technique that could be exploded into lines? All I need are the lines, actually.
