Is there a way (and I'm just missing it) to have a pipe from a pipe network only be shown 'cut-off', with the typical 'cut-off' shown on the profile view? see the screen shot of sketch of what I'm referring to.

How I have come to this question is through the process of trying to realistically show a hydrant in profile view. First off it it possible to create a completely vertical pipe in C3D? Also if you can, is it possible to show that in profile view? Basically, what I am trying to avoid is representing a fire hydrant pipe by creating some sort of custom cyclinder part in partbuilder. I have done this, but do not like the results.

Is there a way to label multiple structures/pipes at one time in profile view? We have tried selecting all at one time, right click and add label, but it only labels one of the structures/pipes.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI remember seeing an article or web cast on how to create a style to display a single line for a manhole. It may have been about using the parts create tool. But for the life of me, I can’t remember where I saw it.
Also I had created a style in C3D2007 to display the pipes in profile as a single line. This was done by drawing the flow arrow in a non printable colour over the top of the pipe.In C3D2008 this is no longer possible. So now what?
So I have been getting a fatal error "INTERNAL ERROR: !dbobji.cpp@8743: eNotOpenForWrite" when I try to export to 2010 CAD.
I have worked out that it happens when pipes are displayed in the profile view.
Run profile on a self-intersecting street? The one I'm dealing with is a dead end 'P' shape. Logically, there are manholes in the intersection of the 'P', and logically to me, these structures need to show up in two places in the same profile view. Of course, C3D doesn't realize that I want a certain structure to show up twice, and I'm not sure how to communicate that information to it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy colleague added parallel pipe networks and crossings to multiple SD profile views yesterday. Today, he came in, turned on AutoCAD, opened the drawing, and the parallel pipes and crossings were gone. The working folder had reset itself to nowhere so we reset the working folder and Data Shortcuts Folder, but that didn't bring them back. We can go into the profile view properties<pipe networks tab and turn the pipes and structures back on and override the styles, but that is basically redoing everything we did yesterday. Is there a way to avoid having to redo everything? Is there a way to avoid this from happening in the first place?

What do I draw the existing pipes as that will be under the surface that I'm profiling? I have the surveyed invert points I'm assuming that won't be polylines? how to get the pipe to show at the proper elevation on the profile?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have two pipe networks and two profile views, one for storm and another for sanitary. I would like to show the crossing pipes on each of the profile views. When I select the profile view, add a pipe and change the style to crossing the style is change to crossing on the other profile view (ex. on sanitary profile view I set storm pipe 3 to crossing style, on the storm profile pipe 3 changes to crossing style and does not display). Isn't there a way to display the styles for pipes different in each profile view?

I have a profile with a couple of pipe networks in it. One of the pipes shown extends beyond the edge of the profile at some crazy angle. look at the picture for a better explanation.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow to do profiles in Civil3D and I have created a profile from the surface utilizing a miscellaneous alignment. I have also taken one 12"RCP and made it part of a network along with the catch basin and manhole at its start and end. When I click "draw parts in profile" it places both structures and the pipe, but in reality only a portion of the pipe crosses the alignment. I'd like to only display portions of pipes that cross the alignment at a fixed width form that alignment, say 2' to each side of it.

I have that profile style set to not plot so this way I can leave it on all the time. This is all fine and well. I have labels every 100' that label the station and invert elevation but at times I want to label miscellaneous locations along my pipe such as a bend or something. How do I add an addition data band label to achieve this? Everything I have found only lets me have these labels at a specified increment set in the band style.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way for C3D 2013 to automatically hatch (with a style) in the profile view the area from the FG to top of pipes (Sanitary, Storm or Water). Currently we go old school with isolating the linework in the profile and hatching it manually. The interesting thing is the hatch still recognizes the grid in the profile view even though we've frozen the grid and other linework. AND we must put a line on the top of the pipe, or the hatching goes to the next "grid" of the profile.
Would be nice to get it to generate the hatch much the same way it does for the profile view with Cut area or Fill area or Multi boundaries.
I've got a weird problem with pipes in 2014. When I edit a pipe (right-click Pipe Properties) and make a change, when I press OK or Apply, the pipe SIZE changes? It's still listed as a 300mm PVC, but it's being represented as a 410mm? Look at the attached image. The storm (green) shoes a 300mm pipe and 375. The 375 is smaller? The pipe style (as you can see int he image, is set to display the inside pipe walls.
Nothing is unique here about the pipe sizes, this is a stock pipe catalog. But the size doesn't really change, only how the pipe is drawn in the profile. I've never seen something like this before. It measures .418m instead of .3m.
I have a water and sewer line that run parallel for the most part. The sewer starts at 10+00 runs west and then turns north about 10+80 and parallels the waterline from that point on.
I want to show the sewer in the water profile as beyond and to reference the sheets to see for P&P information. This works fine.
When i go to show the waterline in the sewer profile it does not show up correctly it only shows up in the initial 80 feet of the sewer profile. Is this because the two alignments are not parallel with each other until that 2nd manhole?
See attached profile PDF.
I have drawn in essentially a sewer pressure pipe (using gravity part network because I don't have time to setup the other) and I am using PVC pipe and null structures at the joints. I created the pipe network from a feature line with verticies at the grade breaks and every 10'. As you can see in the picture the pipes are lining up but I have these straggling lines on the profile.

I tried moving a Profile View and even though I selected everything at once and selected a base point and destination point, the Profile View Station and Elevation labels moved with a different offset than the Profile View itself. ?

I have pipe crossings shown in my profile. Only crossings (NO PROJECTIONS). So many elipises. I want to label them. Setting the label style at the pipe network does not work (will not override whatever label style was assigned at the pipe creation). I have accepted this (although it sucks).
Now, to get around it, I go Pipe>Add Label>Add Pipe Network Label. Label type is "Entire Network Profile". When I do this, it labels not only the crossings but all projections. So I have a million labels chilling out in space, where I have no crossing.
We are currently using 2012 Civil 3D, and we have a issue with a drawing that not all the Pipes from the pipe network are displaying in the Profile, and even the pipe properties display box the lengths show up way too long and the stationing does not display correctly in this pipe properties box either.
The Big Twist is that we have 2 machines in the offices that will display the drawing correctly, in profile view and pipe properties display box has correct lengths and stationing. So we know it is not styles, etc.
Direct support has suggested we un-install all Autodesk products and reinstall them all again, we tried the repair, however this did not work. Any other way before we have to go through all this work, as we are looking a huge amount of downtime, and we do not think this is the issue. Perhaps a Civil 3D variable or Autocad variable is different?
I'm working with a structure profile label style and it seems like the only way to anchor the position of the label is based on offsets from the structure itself... Any way to position the label based on the top of the profile view, so that I could make all of my labels horizontally aligned above the profile view?

I have yet to produce a profile. I created a polyline and turned it into an alignment.
Looking at alignment Sample(3), I see that it is not superimposed over your surface. The polylines are, but the alignment is not. That will disallow creation of a surface profile.
Is the sample5 an alignment that sits on the surface? how come there is still no profile?
Attached are survey points that created the surface of a road embankment portion that caved-in. The road is very near a reservoir shoreline.
1. How can a surface profile be produce? I/'ve use line to change it into an alignement and then create a proile , then a profile view. But the the surface profile is missing.
2.the points having higher elevation are the top edge( road level) of the cave-n . A few few shots were take before the shorline elevations.
3. What the best way to come up with the rock volume to fill the cave-in given this surveying points., Also the shoreline elevation will be lowered some more while work is being done since the fill is not allowed to fall in the reservoir.
A tabular data sheet for profiles could be very interesting.

I have an issue with a profile referenced into a plan sheet that is shifted when I view it in the plan sheet viewport. The profile stationing is correct in the profile dwg file and in the plan sheet dwg it is referenced into. But when I switch from model space to paper space in my layout sheet (the file the profile dwg is referenced into) the profile moves to the wrong station within my profile view in paper space.
The profile start station is 0+00, but it shifts to -1+00 within the viewport of my layout sheet.
The scales are the same between the dwg files (50) and the Annotation scale matches the dwg scales.
I am a C3D newbie who used ground survey points (Serrano_EG_surface) that generated a Civil 3D surface. The white line is consist of arc segments that I turned into polylines and then into individual CL alignments. The first alignment ,which has its left and right offsets do not generate the profile view that I needed to be created. There was a prompt asking for a profile to choose, but I don't know where in the drawing or in the propector panel to click on.
1. Are the ground survey points good enough so that any alignments over the those areas can provide me a surface profile, a design profile, cross sections every 50 feet, so that I can submit a preliminary drawing for environmental permitting. ?
2. When I check the object browser, the aligments preceding each other are not in the same elevation it seems. Do I have to to transform each of the polylines first into a 3d polyline and then an alignment so that I can create a profile.
3. Eventually , I wish to connect all these alignments to model a 1.5 mile rural road (more like an access road to a water reservoir).
4. What's a best techniques to keep track of modeling a road.This question pertains to e.g the object browser as one of the useful aid. I've also used the inquiry tool but not used it for its full potential.
I was wondering if after drawing an alignment, creating a profile, and profile view, is there a way I can mark items along the alignment so they could show up in the profile view. I am laying out a pipeline and want to have the profile display a marker for items such as tees, elbows, reducers and other items. The marker I would like to use will be something like the vertical style grade break markers.
Also on a side note, as each of these items will have a different name, is there a way that I can add these markers and then have each one with a unique name?
1. I had trouble with profile view of the alignment line shown. What step am i missing? Are there things that is turned off?
2. How can I best come up with the right volume to fill.
3. Do I need to learn the grading tools? or could i get buy with a section profile from the alignment. ( it is not even an alignment yet)
4. How to I render a rock fill in this cave-in.
The attached aerial image , has survey or cogo points that are imported to surface, to become surface points. . So I wanted to create a surface profile below and an outline of fill above it. Iideally the side profile would look like a trapezoid, where the base is the surface proile and top would be the design embankment.
But the reason , a surveying crew went down and took shots at the shoreline and a couple shots around the cave-in walls (higher elevation on the cave-in wall cannot be surveyed, although I coud have used a laser , did not) is so that a more accurate volume of the cave in can be obtained. I tried to label how far the road edge is from edge of the cave-in . Norice the higher elevations are the top edge around the cave in area.
The ouline for the embankment will be a mild slope then breaks to a more steep slope. like 4 :1 , then 1.5:1
