I am running 2011 c3d on windows 7 with 15 GB of ram.
An error message I get is "reading triangles from file" and the program locks up to where you need to do a reset on the computer. I have an existing ground surface that is data shortcut into the file I am opening when I get this error. The existing ground surface is about 5 mg in size. I'm not sure if this is causing the error.
Putting in a simple berm crest, and the triangles skip right over a certain section. Swap edge does nothing and adding points seems to make things worse. I have been able to fix this problem before, but only by deleting my surface and then putting all the pieces back in at once. Then it's perfect.
I think part of the problem may be that the "Contour help" I put in at the blue major contours is screwing things up.I have had the same issue when putting in down-slope channels as well.
Whenever I try to use the "DWG to PDF.pc3" driver, I'm getting TIN triangles in my PDF. They don't show up in the "Print Preview", just in the resulting PDF. They also don't show up if I print directly to a printer. Only in the PDF. Never saw this before installing SP2.1.

The figure properties show that it is a breakline. The figure prefix database brings the line style in as a breakline from the start.

using c3d 2012
Today I opened a file that has previously worked perfectly well, only to find that when I open my surface in Object Viewer and begin to rotate it manually, the triangles making up the surface do not appear. I have the contour lines and border (what is enabled in the Edit Surface Style/Display/Model tab) although the triangles (which should be displayed as well) do not appear. Other surfaces show like they should.
Is there another option other than the Edit Surface Style/Display/Model tab and the VISUALSTYLES command?
using Civil 3D 2013.
I added three feature lines to my surface as breaklines. But the triangles still cross them. Triangles shouldn't be crossing breaklines.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used the function paste to combine three surfaces in one. It could represent a highway. I noticed that when surfaces cross or pass close to each other some extra triangles show up trying to stitch together the surfaces. I can not find an option that can stop this, eg "not create extra triangles". Why these extra triangles occur? Can you limit it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen cleaning up a surface, I've always created an Outer Boundary to define the surface limits so that the triangles wouldn't go where I didn't want them.
I'm trying prepping in hopes of sitting for my Autodesk Civil 3d Certification exam at AU. The chapter I'm currently reading through talks about deleting triangles from the surface.
So now I'm wondering about the pros and cons of both methods.
What I would like to achieve is a section band style for bulk earthworks and simple access roads that shows the design level at Grade Breaks only. The problem I am having is that Grade Breaks are being recognised as where the sample line crosses a triangle, not where the the grade actually changes/crosses a feature line.
A have a number of simple platforms, that I have created using an infill from feature lines, usually these platforms are surrounded entirely by feature lines of the same height. As to be expected, Civil 3d creates a few flat triangles, and as a consequence, all of the points where the sample line crosses these show up on my band style. Is there any way to achieve this band style?
Has instances where you set your tolerance for the maximum triangle lenth to say 50m to reduce the amount of triangles along the edge that run at long distances. When I do this I end up with multiple surface holes and I'm not sure why as there are points in the area.
I thought well maybe it's because i should've reduced my max triangles first then added breaklines. Would this matter? I also thought I could add a line to the surface to fix the holes vs. deleting surface lines along the entire edge of a surface for many many miles.

This works, but still doesn't work for civil objects. Take a look at the snippet below.
if (xdb != null) { // Start a transaction in our loaded database // to get at the layer name Transaction tr2 = xdb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction(); using (tr2) { // Open the layer table LayerTable lt2 = (LayerTable)tr2.GetObject( xdb.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead );
In order to get a Corridor ID collection I need a reference to a CivilDocument object. So how do I get a CivilDocument object when it isn't the active document? Is there any way to get it from a Document or Database object?
I know how to read the BMP thumbnail (there are some code here: [URL], but in 2013, the BMP has been replaced by a PNG. The type seems to be 6 instead of 2 (BMP), but I don't know how the PNG is stored (I've not made further investigation).

Error while reading log file for <drawing path>
I just recently had to do a clean install on Civil 3D 2013 to fix a different problem but now I am having issues with the pressure pipe catalogs. I used to be able to open and use all three that are available, push on, mechanical, and flanged. I made sure that my support paths are mapped to the correct folders but now when I open my design file I find that the mechanical and flanged catalogs are greyed out. When I try to edit the part catalog I get a warning message saying that the catalog is not available. See the attachment. I know the catalogs are there as I have created parts and added them to these catalogs. It almost looks like it is mapping to the metric folder which only has the push on catalog.

Occurs when I am trying to raise/lower a group of feature lines (break lines) within my grading plan. As soon as I enter the value to raise/lower and hit enter the error comes up and Civil closes. Using Civil 3D 2013 and it is up-to-date (all patches, etc. installed). Know it is probably a windows registry error related issue, but I do not want to waste my afternoon uninstalling and re-installing Civil to take care of the issue. Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

Having looked through your forums I see that this may be related to the video card, which is a Nvida Quadro 5000. I've already updated the driver to the Quadro Performance Driver, v320.78, but the problem continues.
Is there a different partner certified driver that I should be using (can't seem to find any for Civil 3D) , or is the issue related to something else?

I have a scriptUI generated palette which contains 26 icons linked to their respective scripts. When an icon is pressed, it invokes the required script via this:
searchPanel.children[0].onClick = function(){
searchOne.open("r");
var bt = new BridgeTalk;

My other scripts have "normal" functions that don't cause any problems, so I'm assuming it has something with BridgeTalk being loaded inside the palette function (since the code that's read in from the file is inserted at the location from where it's called).
