I ‘ve put some blocks (Cone penetration test) in a profile view. Then I created view frames and sheets. I tried to insert those blocks into the sheets with the 'Project objects to profile view' command. I get the message: “There are 10 objects outside the Profile view's station range and will therefore be ignored.”
View 5 RepliesWhen I select an object to view in my profile, all I get is "0 objects selected". I have tried selecting several objects in plan top view, but get "0 selected". What is the "simple" solution that I am overlooking?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an existing alignment and a profile view with a profile of that alignment. I would like to offset this alignment to show the edges of roadway and add the existing ground profiles to the same profile view. The edge of roadway lines are 3D polylines and I use the 'project objects to profiile view' to to create the profile. I select use existing surface for elevations and it does, however, it only picks up elevations where the 3d polyline has verticies. So where I have a tangent section that crosses a stream it does not show the stream because there are no verticies at that location. If I create a whole new profile view and select the line it picks up elevations all along the polyline.
View 3 Replies View RelatedProject objects to profile view... got it. No problems selecting individual survey points or survey figures and projecting to profile view. Is there a way to project a entire point group to a profile. I have a point group created for the large number of points to be projected. Next I right click on the point group and click "select'. Then go to Project objects to profile view. Nothing...
This process works for the survey figures, but not the point groups! In prospector tab go to survey > figures then select CTRL + each figure to project then VIOLA' the whole group of figures are projected.
Is this limited to graphical selections only? If so, is there a workaround to generate a graphical selection set from the point group.

I have created a profile. I have my surfaces, projected other surfaces onto it, looks good. So then, I want to do some simple drawing on my profile. Everything looks good in model space. Create a viewport for the profile and things(basic linework) appear in a different location than where I drew them. I figure I need to project an object to make it work because they are associated.
So I draw my simple arc ( arch culvert) with footings and block it. great its where i want it and its a block. Gave it the appropriate elevation when creating the block. go through the project objects and it added. But now its added it in a different spot.
I have set one station equation in my alignment and it displays correctly in horizontal view and in profile. But stations of projected objects after that equation are not correct in projected object label. It displays station values as it would be without station equation. If i manually insert profile view label for that point it is correct.
As you can see in attached image green station value (that one is label for projected points) is wrong because it does not take equation into calculation. How to make projected objects labels to consider station equation?
What type of objects can be projected into a profile view? I know that points, feature lines, and multiview blocks can be projected with variable results. I can't even find a simple list within Civil 3D's.

Say I'm projecting some 3D polylines to a profile view I have, and the 3D polylines cross the alignment defining the profile view. Is there a way to format the projections such that the point of intersection is identified, and that the points will be updated if I change either the alignment or the 3D polylines?

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
I was given a horizontal centerline of a 5 mile bike path. We have to stake all the even stationing every 50 feet and all the VPC's and VPT's with vertical elevation. I have created the horizontal profile and also the vertical profile including all the vertical curve information. Is there an easy way to incorporate the elevation information back into the plan view so I can create points that carry x,y & z points that I can transfer out of autocad as a .txt file so we can upload it on our gps equipment?

Is there a way to project just one feature line (or anything appropiate...polyline, 3d poly etc) into the sections group or profiles ?
The thing is that Projection tool, labels everything that's a Block, Point, 3d poly ...etc to the sections group.
And it puts all labels in the same layer.

I need to project some of the points and figures to the profile view and I'm not making any progress. I found the ProfileProjection class in the object browser, but I'm not sure how to handle the first argument (ByVal unmanagedPointer AsSystem.IntPtr,) or even if I'm on the right path. I'm guessing that it should work similar to other Create() methods by referencing an ID, then later calling a projObject.Draw() or something similar.
Below is a snippet of the survey point section. I'm iterating through each survey point in the xml data. I hope to create the projObj for each CL shot as a starting place. I think the figures would be similar if I can get a point to work.

I am using the profile sample VB.net program to create an alignment, profile view and profile. The profile view defaults to start at station -0+25. I want to set the Profile View starting station based on the "Align_strt_sta" value I have defined based on the Alignment Stationing.

I discovered a weird thing that seems like a bug...I tried to hatch manually while in profile view (couldn't figure out how to do what I want with the profile view hatching options) and it seems that if I try to make one hatch (by picking internal points) that includes multiple structure profiles on the same profile view, the first structure profile for that profile view works as a hatch boundary, but subsequent structure profiles are basically ignored if I keep trying to pick internal points to make a composite hatch.
I assume it's because of this same bug that I can't create a hatch by choosing boundary objects and using two structure profiles in the same profile view as boundary objects.
how to hatch using the profile view hatching and to use a pipe network as a boundary, that would also be useful.
if I hatch by picking internal points, and pick one area with a structure profile as part of the boundary, and then I pick a similar area in a different profile view, everything works fine...it's just the second (and though I don't have more than 2 structures per profile view in my drawing, I would assume any subsequent) structure profiles that I try to use as hatch boundaries that AutoCAD is basically ignoring.
When inserting a piece of my watermain into my profile view, the watermain is not stopping at the edge of the first profile view. Instead it just continues out of the view. See attachment. When I change the style of the pipe to just centre line I do not have this issue. It seems the hatching is the issue.
