AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Roundabout Approach Leg Modifications

Sep 1, 2013

I am using the roundabout design tool as the first step in developing the 2D design of a roundabout. I am having some trouble getting the defection path radii I need in order for the roundabout design to progress to the next step, however this can only be achieved if I can alter the alignment of the approach legs.

The default setting for the roundabout tool/wizard is for all alignment legs to intersect at the centre point of the roundabout - something which does not readily allow the deflection radii to be met even remotely (in this case and others)

Whenever I try and realign the alignment/approach leg and run the design wizard again (in the hope the other kerb alignments will realign to match), it jumps back to the initial alignment pointing to the centre point. Refer attached screen shots.

Of course designing the roundabout in the traditional way is always the sensible alternative to achieve the correct layout & deflection, however if this function exists it would be handy to speed up the initial design process.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Approach A Full Evaluation Design

Nov 18, 2013

i have a site which has a mound in the middle, and quite a few drainage swales running downhill from it, radiating in all directions. i want to calculate a rough estimate of how much fill is required to fill in all those swales (roughly). picture that the existing ridgeline "noses" will be left as is, and the valleys in between are the ones that I want to fill in. the project boundary (toe of slope) is the elevation that I want to hold.

i tried grading tools, and corridors as well, but could not come up with a good way to do this. what I ended up doing is i laid out some feature lines that follow the existing ridgelines down the hill (the banks of the swales), then created a feature line of the project boundary (draped on EG), and a feature line at the top of the mound as the highest elevation, created a TIN from those feature lines so that it triangulates across the swales, and then ran a volume comparison. not the best way i know, but could not think of a better way at that moment.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Top Down Approach And IParts

Jul 5, 2013

I created an iPart of a flat sheet metal with several holes in it. It requires 3 Parameters to be be defined:

- length (user defined parameter which can take any value)
- width (user defined parameter which can take any value)
- hole_diameter

I created a skeleton file with several user defined parameters including length and width.

Both files (skeleton.ipt and flat_sheet.ipt) are placed in the same assembly. I now would like IPart instance to follow along the changes made in the skeleton - but how do I connect these parameters? and if not, what would be an appropriate Top Down approach for including iParts?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Not Contain Excel Files Modifications

Jan 19, 2012

We are using Inventor 2011 EN + Vault 2011 EN Basic on XP Pro SP3 DELL Workstations.

Step 1 : In our IDW files, we copy/paste as embedded OLE Objects (no link). And save the IDW files in our local workspace.
Step 2 : we check-in this IDW Files.
Step 3 : We check-out this IDW files and make modifications in the embedded Excel File, save the excel file and then save the IDW file.
Step 4 : we check-in the idw file.
Step 5 : the same user or anther one check-out the idw file, open the excel embedded file : the modifications have not been saved.

AutoCAD .NET :: Clone Object From One Drawing To Another With Modifications

Jan 25, 2011

I have two open drawings, a source and a destination drawing in ACADI have different layers and linetypes in each drawingI need to get the objects on a specified layer in the source drawing and copy them to the destination drawing, but ensure that they are put on a specified layer in that drawing which differs in name from the original drawing.

I've tried coming at this a few different ways, but can't really seem to come a conclusion on how to do this.  WBlockCloneObjects, of course, allows me to clone the items to the new drawing, but in doing so, drags along all the layers and linetypes with it which I don't want "contaminating" my new drawing.  I'm trying to keep the conversion as clean as possible.  I can't pre-change the layer name or linetype, etc as the destination for these values doesn't exist in the source drawing. 

Is there a way to create a new entity (an anonymous one, independent of the source ObjectClass that I need so I don't have to create multiple routines to handle each one), not attached to a DB, copy the values from the source DB entity and then modify the layer, linetype, color etc before appending the entity to the destination database? 

Here is my code for what I have, but since I don't really have a clue where to turn with this, all this really shows at the moment is a straight cloning of the objects from one DB to another.  As a side note, I'm working in Civil 3D 2011 and when WBlockCloneObjects is called an "AutoCAD Map Messages" window appears with no messages in it. 

Public Function CopyLayerContents(ByVal acdocSource As Document, ByVal strSourceLayer As String, ByVal acdocDest As Document, ByVal strDestLayer As String, ByVal bCopyBlocks As Boolean) As Boolean
Dim bComplete = False
Dim acSourceDB As Database = acdocSource.Database
Dim acDestDB As Database = acdocDest.Database
[code]........

AutoCad 2D :: Stretch Modifications Input Dimensions?

Jan 24, 2014

I worked for an architect in the past that had a modification of stretch that allowed you to set a dimension. For instance if you had a door way drawn in a stud wall set back from the wall 50mm and you wanted to change that to 100mm you could use the stretch command with another shortcut command to specify the distance from the wall.

The command list would be as follows:

-"s" (Stretch)
- Select objects to move, "Enter"
- Specify the basepoint to move (corner of door in this case).
-Then i would hit another command shortcut from there system. This would allow me to pick the point where i want the dimension to start from.
- Input the dimensions, in this case "100" , then enter to complete.

It seem simple the but very useful for more obscure applications.

I also understand in the application above you could just stretch 50mm across 50mm but this requires calculation. We want to get away from having to calculated all the time.

Revit :: Approach For Large Scale Housing Masterplan Model

Nov 11, 2013

We're putting together a large scale (2000+) development of various housing types. These are modular units, and there is a lot of repetition (obviously). In all there are probably 6 main types, each of which has mirrored alternatives. Whilst the houses are identical, the individual plots do vary to respond to topography and the infrastrucural layout.
 
What is the best way of organising this in Revit ?Ideally we would like to schedule the types, walls, roofs as well as the ground works for each. I am not sure what the best approach to this will be.
 
Initially I had tried setting up a few house types as 'groups' then using individual building pads for each plot - this does not lend itself to scheduling overall numbers though.
 
I had also thought about modelling the house types as a separate file, and linking them into the masterplan, duplicating as necessary (not sure how this will work re. mirroring though). The level of detail needed in the masterplan isn't as detailed, so long as the external / internal plan is visually correct (annotations and drawings for individual houses can be kept in the relevant house type Revit file).
 
I'm still not sure that the linked model approach will allow scheduling though ?
 
We would really want to schedule the numbers of overall house types, as well as totals for materials (although that could be extrapolated from number of plots * materials for each type).I'm also concerned over file size and performance. 2000+ houses in the single model is likely to be a pretty big hit.

AutoCad :: Standard Parts Library Naming Modifications?

Oct 11, 2011

We are in the process of setting a naming convention for all the various parts we use, and having changed the Inventor library already, the Autocad stations (ver 2011 mechanical) are next. While I won't be the one doing this work, I want to get a jump on it as it's impeding my current work. The problem is, I don't even know where to start looking. We would be starting with the fastener library, changing the standard descriptions to suit our new convention.

AutoCad :: Prevent Modifications To Drawing From In Place Block Editor

Oct 2, 2013

I have a problem with the "in place" block editor, mainly because I fail to synthesise a sentence for the search that makes sense. My problem is that when I am in "edit block in place" mode I am still able to edit the drawing, so that I can still delete or stretch or move certain elements, even though they are not part of the block. This is quite annoying because it leads to unwanted changes and mistakes. Is there a variable or an option to change it and prevent any modification to anything outside of the block?

I took photos of some old building drawings and used clarify, noise removal, contrast, etc. I wanted to apply the exact same modifications to all of the other photos of the drawings. Is there a simple way to do this? Can I save it as a preset or filter or something similar. It would sure save a lot of time.

GIMP :: Ufraw Save List Of Modifications Made Before Returning?

Sep 21, 2012

I've got a script for processing a bunch of files which starts by bringing up ufraw. I would like to have ufraw save the list of modifications made before returning to gimp. (.ufraw file)

However, when gimp starts ufraw, it passes some option to ufraw whichcauses ufraw to not display the save tab which allows setting what to save.

Is there a way to tell gimp to bring up ufraw differently, or is the problem in ufraw?

Maya Animation :: Reconnect Soft Modifications On Identical Mesh?

Apr 15, 2011

I'm working on a animation with a female model. It's a simple animation which I did with a couple of soft modification points. After that was done, I created the UV texture in Photoshop. At the point in the animation that the soft modification points deform the mesh the texture goes all crazy.

I know why that is, because the UV is projected and is not stuck on the mesh yet. I've worked the wrong way. Next time I will first add the UV texture and then animate the mesh. Now I'm having a duplicate of the model and deleted the history. The UV sticks on that mesh, but the softmodification points are also deleted. So the mesh doesn't deform anymore.

I've tried a lot of ways, but didn't find the solution yet. That's why my question is. How do you copy/reconnect the soft modification points on a identical mesh with a sticking UV texture? It's the same polycount, so I think it's possible. I've tried connecting the soft mods in the new mesh in the Hypergraph, but I didn't know which atributes I should connect. I also tried to bake a simulation, but Maya says he is calculating, but I can't see if it is working and how long it would take. I tried to export the animation and import it in a new scene with the history deleted model, but that wasn't the solution either.

I don't know if my story is all clear, but this i my goal. I want the animation on a model that has the UV texture sticking on it. What is the best way to get there?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Civil Sections Relocating Themselves Within Model Space

Apr 16, 2012

I am trying to work on a previous file in my office, and when it opens on mycomputer, it does not display as it should. 

In general, the purpose of the project is to reinstate the side slopes of a road abutting a river.  Cut & fill sections have been generated on 20m station increments along the road corridor/surfaces in order to calulate cut and fill as well as to reference the design to flood levels.

When I open the file, all of these sections (and there are alot)  have relocated themselves to various locations in model space, none of which are aligned with the viewports that are being used for printing.

Could it be software and/or hardware incompatibility with the computer they were originally created on? (I believe it was created with C3D 2010, or C3D 2011 - I am currently running 2012)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Of Colour Hatches For Civil Production Drawings?

Oct 23, 2013

Just curious as to whether people use much colour in their production drawings, particularly for hatches...?

Working for Local Government, we tend to utilise colour hatches to show all kinds of information.

Generally, we have found that colour hatches are a good way to clearly show different areas and materials such as pavements, paths, landscape areas etc. Hatches can then be used to quickly ascertain areas for estimation and our construction team like them too as the plans tend to be easier to read.

The usual arguments about reproduction of plans and slowing down of computers doesn't seem to be an issue for us. Most photocopiers are in colour now anyway and we just make sure that even in black & white the plans are readable.

The way that Civil 3D deals with hatching doesn't seem to slow things down for us either.

Currently using Civil 3D 2013 & 2014 SP1

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Viewing Civil Objects In Regular

Aug 30, 2012

Right now, the only way I know of being able to see Civil grading objects (surface contours, spot elevations, slopes, etc) while using plain vanilla AutoCAD is to explode everything and export to a lower version.

I'm trying out a trial of AutoCAD 2013 to test things, and my Civil drawing shows up as boxes/text when xrefed into another drawing without doing the task above.

I'm looking for a more efficient way to see grading using AutoCAD (not Civil). Civil is expensive, and I'd like to downgrade the drafters who don't know how to use the Civil functions (and never will), but still need grading to show as a dynamic xref in the background of the drawings they're working on. Problem is, if I have to explode and export my drawing every time I want to update the grading xref in their drawing, it wastes more time than I'd like.

Is this the only way and I have to live with it, or am is there an easier way that I haven't dug up yet? I know I'm not an expert at Civil, so I may be going about this all wrong.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using STB Rather Than CTB?

Oct 26, 2012

I've begun creating my drawing template with all my layers and each layer has a plot style attached to it.  The line weight is set to default.  I am doing a test plot with a drawing that I have to see what it looks like.  The pen table is set to my .stb table but when I go to preview, my linework doesn't show up. 

I have checked my setting for my layers to make sure that they are set to plot. 

In my plot dialog box, if I uncheck "Plot with plot styles" I can see the linework but it doesn't plot right (plots in color).  Unchecking "plot object lineweights" doesn't do anything either. What am I missing?
