AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section Labels From Surface Features Lines

Jun 27, 2012

Often we  build a design surface from feature lines and possibly a grading or two. Then we cut sections.

Now, for set out, and especially for smaller contractors who don't have fancy survey gear, it would be really nice to be able to show design surface levels in section bands BUT ONLY AT THE SURFACE-DEFINING FEATURE LINE LOCATIONS.

I am aware that we can use grade breaks...but this gives us band data at each triangle intercept which is too much data. We can weed this data, but that is indiscriminate and I really need only the data at the surface-defining geometry points (feature line locations.)

We can also use station/elevation labels on the section views but this is time-consuming and non-dynamic. Band labels are dynamic and more or less automatic...if only we could get the discrete locations we need labelled.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Section Editor Not Displaying Daylight Lines To EG Surface

Jul 13, 2012

I'm having a random issue with the daylight ties lopes not tieing to the EG surface at all stations in the Corridor Section Editor. Some stations daylight fine. In plan view the daylight lines vary left & right as expected but don't display at all in Section Editor.
 
Some background info:2012 Civil 3D SP1 / 64 bit / WIN7Simple corridor used1 alignmentSame fg profileSame drefd EG surface (set all targets for daylight LT/RT)Only one assembly applied to entire corridor Attached are 2 captions of the issue I'm having which each have a cut & fill occurrence as well as a caption of the entire align. & corridor. I did try deleting corridor & recreating and even recreated a simpler assembly and still have the daylight issue in same areas of corridor.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Creation Or Section Views Creating Random Lines

Jun 15, 2012

I'm uploading the .dwg and .txt files.  I'm trying to get volume calcs cut and fill between two surfaces and when I compare the data between AGTEK's Highway 3D there is different results.  I looked into it to find these random line appearing in Autocad making what seems to be the problem.  Where are these coming from and how do I fix? Also, if you could anwser how can I insert a sectional following the 12'-23' offsets and dropping 1.16' down and adding it to my design surface. I want to make a big box there added to design surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Slope Labels - Rise:Run Custom Labels?

Dec 27, 2013

I am trying to create a surface rise:run slope label for our company template file.  I have it set using the default values that I want.  But right now the text is just 1:1...where we want it to read 1V:1H.

how I can keep the label dynamic to the surface, but put the V & H in the label after the values.?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section Editor Vs Section Views Labels?

Aug 12, 2013

In my section editor my labels show up correctly and in all the locations I want.  But then, in my cross section file, I look in my section views and they are completely different.  When I try to label more points under the Code Set Styles, they won't even show up on my section views.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Threaded Lines From Thread Features In Section Views

Nov 8, 2012

Here is the issue we have found. While sectioning a view of an assembly in idw, the threaded lines of threaded features have a strange behavior depending on the section line used. I have attached a simple example that shows what he have found. Basically, if the section line is straight, threaded features show correctely. Independent of section participation. If the section has segments at different angles, then lines are not appearing.

The first three views have both parts excluded from section participation(Obviously, there isn't any real life need for this, but I did it to just simplify the illustration without adding a bunch extra parts) The base view is the top view or view showing the round shape. For the first example at the bottom, i simply projected the view to the left and made sure "Threaded Features" was selected. Threaded lines show fine.

Second example is the similiar, except the i used a section view instead of the projected view. Both parts are excluded. Section line is straight. Verticle in this example. Doesn't have to vertical as the line is straight.

Next example is similiar to the second, only difference is the section is not straight. You can see the threaded lines do not show. This is the problem we want to solve. How to make the threaded lines display!!!

Last example shows the same section, only this time the component is included in the section participation. And it works.

Any settings to change or a trick to make it work. Otherwise, i think i need to issue a support request with autodesk.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section View Labels

Aug 16, 2012

Is there anyway to create a section view label where you input the offset and elevation data into a section view similar to a station & elevation label for a profile view (see Station-Elevation attached)?  Out-of-the Box section view offset elevation labels can only be placed on the section view and dragged to a specified offset & elevation.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section View Labels

Apr 19, 2012

I'm working in 2011 and I'm having a difficult time labeling the section views. Labels are showing up on the retaining wall which I did not assign any labels to in the codes. Also, the vertical faces are labeled on the wall and sidewalks. I am not sure if the assembly or corridor settings are controlling this or if it in the code.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Automatic Cross Section Labels

Dec 9, 2013

create a label style for cross sections that will label the travel way in the run:rise format and will label fore and back slopes in a percent format.  I can figure out how to make them all one or the other, but am having trouble getting them to reflect correctly based on where they are attached.I am having trouble coming up with the actual expression or you can do it thru code set styles, but regardless of settings that I change nothing on the cross section view changes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cross Section Elevation Labels

Mar 21, 2012

Attached is a pdf showing the issue I'm having with the way elevations labels appear on the outside edges of cross sections. 

Issue #1:

I added the dimension to show that the bottom of the cross section is actually at 97.5 but is labeled as 98

Issue #2:

I would prefer the bottom of the cross section to be at an even elevation (98 not 97.5)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Multiple Cross Section Labels?

Jan 31, 2013

Using 2011 - Having trouble with cross section labeling.  I have multiple label markers such as ROW, and multiple EASEMENT types.  I've created corridors for each label type - each will show up if their corridor has a corridor section line at the same station as the base corridor, but at odd ball stations (like driveway openings)  the labels do not show up, I'm thinking its because I don't have these corridor section lines in each corridor.  Is there an easier work around rather than manually adding the section lines in each corridor?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Disappearing Or Moving Section Labels?

Oct 16, 2012

I have a section view base map that has labeling at the grade breaks of a corridor section. (see correct labels image)

I made a minor change to the alignment the corridor is using and when I opened my section base, most of the section view labels were messed up. (see messed up labels image)

Some views were missing labels and in others, they were grouped together in a lump.

The settings I am using are in the third image. If I checked either the start or end offset box, then unchecked it and closed the dialog, the labels would fix themselves.For reference, there are about 300 section views in this base drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Labels Disappear In Section View

Aug 12, 2009

C3D 2009. I have a style that labels the pipe diameter in section view and the type of pipe. When I label the pipe everything shows up fine. Save the drawing and re-open and my labels are gone. I can see them when is opening but after it regenerates, gone. All layers are on display set to true. Tried too many different things and no success. This issue only happens in two drawings.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Elevation Labels

Jun 26, 2013

I have a drawing that someone else created that has a spot elevation label for a surface. It labels the surface (PAD) then automatically subtracts a set distance for another elevation (GFE) and adds a set distance for another elevation (FFE). After doing some research, it looks like it was created with an expression?

I have two questions:

First, where to go to get a better understadning of this? I'm not familiar with expressions.

Second, where can I find the expression in drawing to make an edit to the set distances. I can remove the GFE/FFE as they are separate components in the label style, but I don't see where to modify the distance it adds or subtracts.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Elevation Labels

May 3, 2012

We work with Hydro graphic surveys that have large numbers of points. We would like to be able to display girded spot heights colored to represent the elevation. (Similar to elevation banding)

I have created a surface and then created surface elevation points on a grid with spacing of 15m. I have tried looking at setting up a style  that will adjust the color depending on the elevation ie 0 to -1 = red but haven't made any progress.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Cross Section Labels In 2012?

In 2011 the pipe network cross section labels had to be exploded or they would disappear once you closed the drawing (even with saving).

In 2012 can you close and open a drawing and have the labels not disappear?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Same Surface Contour Labels On Different Layers

Mar 29, 2012

So I have an existing grade surface and I am laying out a number of different site designs.  I've got all my surfaces from those site designs on different layers each displayed in a different layout. I need to label existing contours on each layout in different places. I've setup additional contour label styles (two for each design, major, and minor) and layers (two for each design, major, and minor). However, when I add labels to my existing surface, they come in on the right layer, but whenever I freeze any of the many layers my contour labels are on, they all turn off. The only workaround I can figure is to make copies of my existing surface for each design option and label each independantly. However, this is inacceptable as far as data management goes, since my one file will be hundreds of megs with all those surfaces.

I am placing a lot of suface slope labels in my drawing (as in hundreds).  The default settings force you to choose a surface, and then to place it by selecting 1-point /or/ 2 points.  The CAD default is the 1-point.  Is there a way to change this default to the 2-point so I dont have to change it everytime?
