AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Overlay And Widening

Mar 23, 2012

I am having a problem with an overlay and widening C3D 2012 project. The sub assembly I have chosen is processing with the corridor datum surface cutting into the existing road surface, as would happen with a “milling” section (which I don’t want), I need it to overlay onto the existing surface only, with a nominal minimum thickness of 4” . I think this sub assembly is drawing the datum surface from the datum point of the widening on one side to the datum point of the widening on the other side, not sampling the "bottom" of the overlay surface.

See attached screen shot. Also attached are screen shots for some of the sub assembly and corridor parameters for my current settings. I am using the “overlaywidenmatchslope1” and “basicsideslopecutditch” subassemblies.

I have tried changing the sample point offsets and the insert point offsets without fixing this problem. I have not added any additional alignments for saw-cutting yet as I am trying to keep it simple until I get the assembly to process correctly with a fixed width.  

I looked at trying the “overlaywidenmatchslope2” subassembly, but it is for non-crowned roads and would not work for this project. Are some of my parameters wrong? Is there another subassembly that I should be using?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Overlay And Widening Assembly

Aug 12, 2013

I am overlaying and widening an existing road, however the assembly is not behaving as I would like it too.  Here is the cross section below, the widening, overlay and day lighting portions appear correct, how the Datum surface is off. 

DATUM SURFACE - The datum surface is not following the existing ground in between the two road widening pavement portions.  You can see the datum surface as a red line connecting the two paved widening below the existing crown of the road.  I would expect the datum surface to follow bottom links of the overlay as well up through the crown, but this is not the case. 

EARTHWORKS CUT/FILL SURFACE - The earthworks surface shows that the area between the existing crown and the unexpected datum link is being calculated cut/fill (cut presumably) which it shouldn't be. 

ASSEMBLY BEING USED:  Perhaps I am misusing the subassemblies, or link codes need to be modified.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assembly For Match Slope / Widening / Mill And Overlay

Mar 7, 2013

I'm looking to make an assembly to follow the crown of the existing roadway which is to be milled and overlayed.  In addition to being milled and overlayed there will be a curb bumpout which will be full depth pavement.  The roadway does not hold a constant crown at 2%, it varies which is why I would like it to mimic the existing roadway cross slope. What would be the best way to go about making an assembly to model this. I have attached an image so that you may get an idea of the situation.  I have a curb gutter line which I would like the assembly to target in both width and elevation. The single slanted hatch is mill and overlay and the double slanted hatch is full depth pavement (widening).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Offset Alignment From Widening

Aug 5, 2013

I have created a widening then created an 11-foot offset from the widening for some reason I cannot create a 22-foot offset or an d11-foot from the first offset. I can go as high as 22.5 but no more. There are no curves in the alignment only linear tapers. why I cant get to 22-feet?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Widening Travel Lane

May 3, 2012

I've used the OverlayWidenMatchSlope1 subassembly to widen a new travel lane using the existing carriageway crossfall  then I try to create another lane using the same assemble following the same slope but the insert point always starts on the existing ground rather the new levels from the first new widening lane.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Intersection Tool With Widening?

Oct 26, 2012

Having issue with the intersection tool for a road widening with turn lane with new roadway intersection. Not repaving entire existing roadway, sawcutting 2' into lane then paving new turn lane. Do most people use intersection tool for road widening, or is it strictly used for new roadways.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Identifying Areas Of Widening

Jul 13, 2013

I'm working on a windfarm access road (5m wide with widening at bends to 8m) and I need to identify the areas of widening.

I've got the centreline alignment and created the 2.5m offsets to each side. I have also created widening on the insides of the bends using the widening tools and used a linear taper at entry and exit. I now need to hatch up the portions where the road has been widened to demonstrate compliance with the specification and the only easy way I can see is to export to autocad and use the hatch tools (not tried to hatch between alignments).

Whilst this works it isn't dynamic so if the alignment is adjusted the widening alignments are also moved but the hatching remains.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Custom Automatic Curve Widening?

Oct 22, 2012

there has used a non-AASHTO curve widening formula to calculate automatic curve widening for an alignment?  I'm trying to use our Agency curve widening formula which is a function of curve radius and  central angle.  

I'm not sure if it is even possible to use the central angle of the curve for calculating widening, or how one would go about using a non-AASHTO CW formula.

Attached is the curve widening formula that needs to be used.  L will be a constant here.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Varying Depth Overlay

Dec 3, 2012

Would be interested in a strategy for a varying depth overlay, i.e. where the overlay assembly follows a centerline design profile rather than a pavement depth up from existing grade.  Then the trick would be for the software to calculate the asphalt volume between the new top surface and the existing roadway surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Mill And Overlay Parameters

Dec 19, 2013

I am trying to overlay a large area,I have a design profile grade that I must use. I need the new edge of the overlay pavement to be 2" above the existing as long as the pavement cross slope is between 1% to 1.5% . If the slope goes above or below the min or max I need it to take the min or max. If I use the overlaymillandlevel2 I am unable to get it to use the overlay thickness since i am using a profile.

I'm very new to Civil 3D.I've been given original topography in a .dwg file and a .csv file of the same topography after some dirt work.My problem is when I import the .csv file the points don't overlay the original topography. 

What I have done is added the .csv points to the original topography .dwg with the "Points From File" option.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Overlay Point Topology

Dec 22, 2011

I have two set of points with O.D. attached (points_1:data_1 and points_2:data_2). I want each point of the first set get the O.D. of the NEAREST point of the second set. Something like "point overlay". The problem is that AutoCAD Map can't overlay point topologies, and that makes sense, since entities don' t actually overlap.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Feature Overlay Analysis

Aug 5, 2011

I have created two feature buffers - one at 25m and one at 50m. I only want to show the area between 25m and 50m and am struggling to get the Feature Overlay analysis to do this. Is it possible and if so how?

There are no intersecting areas and I'm trying to display the "doughnut" area.

AutoCAD LT :: Printing File With TIFF Overlay

Jul 8, 2013

I'm on a help desk where we have several users who run Win7, but can't publish any projects that have a TIFF overlay. Let me correct that. It prints, but that TIFF overlay is not included.

They print to a Xerox 6204 Wide Format printer, and every single Win7 user has this problem (32 and 64 bit). The one person that still runs XP doesn't have this problem. This sounds like a driver problem to me, but we've reinstalled the drivers and still no change.

I am a GIS person and not familiar too much with AutoCAD. As you may know we can easily overlay GIS fles in GIS software as much as we would like to have , while having same coordinate system.Now my question is , Is it possible to overlay( Or Open, Add, Insert,..) a dgf file into an exiting one?

For Example, I have received 4 dxf file which they have all same units and coordinate  for Pit Design and I just want to have all of them in one dxf. How I can merge them? I saw a hint on web for Copy Base Point but it was too complicated.
