Using the select breaklines in the prospector doesn't do much of anything in my case. Zoom to Breakline works but how do you determine one particular breakline in the bunch if theye were never named?

when selecting a point group from the prospector tab, sometimes the point grips will light up and sometimes only the points will be only dashed.
Having the grips light up like that is very useful when viewing a region with many point groups.
How do I toggle this on and off?
I have a pipe network that has labels for structures and pipes. To be able to read the information better, I click on a label and try to move by the grip. The problem is that it freezes the cursor for approximately 10 seconds before I can move it to grip the label and relocate it to another place. Did I miss any setting. Since this is slowing me down in plan production.

ex: an extruded rectangle intersects another one just at the end of the extrusion. I would like to extend it further but i'm not able to select the ">" grip. How can I do this without isolating objects, I need them to reference the length of the extension, and so on.
I took the time to search and was unable to find anything that seemed relevant. I have also had trouble figuring out the documentation.
Is there a way to select a specific grip within a dynamic block and then update its position?
I can't just accept something cause it's the way it is. I like to know the reasoning behind it.
Case in point:
Why does the check box say "Non-destructive breakline?" Why doesn't it say, "Erase tin lines that cross boundary?" I doesn't seem to have anything to do with breaklines. Or am I wrong on that one?
While I'm on a roll, double negatives send me into a tailspin. Like "Disable description keys", True or False. Huh? Why not just say, "Description Keys", on or off?

I have each breakline sets, but I want each breakline of each breakline set(breaklinesDefinition).
I can do this:
Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices.SurfaceBreakline sfb = default(Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices.SurfaceBreakline); SurfaceBreakline sfb= trans.GetObject(id,OpenMode.ForWrite) as SurfaceBreakline;
But how can I get ObjectIdcollection of surfaceBreakline of one breaklinesDefinition?
I have seen that there is "AECC.Interop.Land.SurfaceBreaklines". Do I have to use this?

I'm having problems contouring in C3D 2014.
I'm using the command PL - polyline to create my break lines (Centerlines, top and bottom of curb)?.
In this particular drawing the first point I click on is carrying the elevation throughout the entire length and yielding bad contours.
Essentially the bottom of curb on each side of the street should be the same elevation with a crown at the centerline.
Instead the elevations are about five feet different because the beginning point is around the corne at a point of tangency on a hill.
This has not happened in any other drawings and I've done them the same way.
I redid the breaklines with the 3DPOLY command and aside from a few minor edits the surface came out OK.
I've been reading about 3DPOLY command but have not found out too much about what the actual difference is between 3DPOLY and PL commands.
Seems like 3DPOLY is the way to go.

Where can I set the default for my mid-ordinate distance when adding breaklines to a surface. Would like to change it from 1.0 to 0.1.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing the COM Interops we can find the entities which were used toi create surface breaklines:
foreach (AeccSurfaceBreakline brklin in brklines) { object[] ents = (object[])brklin.BreaklineEntities; for (int i = 0; i < ents.GetLength(0); i++) { AcadEntity en = (AcadEntity)ents[i]; //do whatever with the Entity }}
I have, as yet, been able to figure out how to get the entity(ies) using 2012's .NET API. Is it possible, or do I have to stay with COM?

In using 2013 I noticed when I delete a feature line which is added to a surface as a breakline it does not delete it from the surface. Even after a rebuild the surface does not update. I am having to go into the toolspace and manually delete the breaklines from the surface list.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am building a surface and have back of curb, curb face, and curb flowline going around a curve. I cannot create the lines with the usual pline as they will cross due to poor field collect. I created the curbs with multiple arcs. I was then going to change them into Feature Lines and am wondering if I can then use them as breaklines in a surface.

I am having a survey plan both with points and contour lines. Points are comming from the main road and contour from the outside areas.
I want to be able to make the surface ignoring the contours between the breaklines of the road since any contour inside professional survey is giving me errors on profiles and everything.
I have created linework using the line by object tool. I have created a surface and am trying to add breaklines by selecting some of this linework. Once I try to create the breaklines, it says that all those breaklines contain errors and have not inserted them into the drawing.

So I went to use the 'Resolve Crossing breaklines' tool, and here's what that looked like:
So are there or aren't there?
When I use the 'Zoom to' feature, it takes me to the midpoint of a TIN line on a breakline, with no other objects around. Crossing window selection: only the surface and one polyline. I found one crossing breakline just by accident, not from either of these tools. After I fixed it it didn't change anything. I even deleted all the breaklines from the surface and added them again, closed drawing and reopened, no change.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using a breakline to establish contours around the foundation of a building. I've done this in the past with no problems. Now I'm getting an Event Viewer, Error message saying that the breakline wasn't added to the surface because it crossed a point or crossed another breakline. In one case there wasn't another breakline in the drawing.
I've used 3d polylines & others to establish the breaklines.
I had some inaccurate survey points in my EG. Now I have new points and breaklines. How to locate thes old breaklines either within the list or visually within my surface editing / style.
The zoom to doesn't work as there are many breaklines within the zoom extents, and 1000's of breaklines to sift through. Is there a setting somewhere in the surface where i can turn on the breaklines that have been added already to something that's visible so i can delete those out of my surface?
I'm looking for anything on this one. (Not the obvious answers thought). Delete all and replace all (not happening).
I'm somewhat new to Civil 3D 2013 and have never encountered this problem before. I've got a top slope standard breakline (dark green line) and bottom slope standard breakline (light green line) with the highest elevation for the top slope at 72' and it gradually slopes down to about 54' within a 75' span. My problem, as you can see in the screen shot below, is I am getting 54'-59' elevation contours right next to a survey point with a 72' elevation whenever I hover my mouse over one of the contours. There are no nearby points with anything near 54' even outside of the surface boundary (shown in magenta).

I have discovered that the points from it is created are fixed in Z value.
You can use the grips with object snap , you can move the grips but the Z values are preserved......
it should be to get the Z value of X,Y,Z given by object snap , isn't it ?
I’m having problems editing my pipe network in Civil 3D 2012, as you can see below some of the network parts have all the grips after editing while some of the pipes can only be edited once before I lose the grips. I have tried purge/audit, recover and the bug fix for sp1 that caused pipes to disappear.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have recently installed Civil 3D 2014 Service Pack 1, and while for the most part it works great, we are noticing one significant issue with profiles. In particular, when we have a design profile actively selected with grips showing, and then select one of the grips, the PVI you are editing becomes offset from the cursor. When you select a point with the cursor, the profile syncs back up as you would expect.
Just thinking out loud, but it seems like it would be some sort of graphic card issue, but we are seeing it across multiple machines.
I have a viewport with two loading bays about 50m apart. I want to use a higher scale to make it more visible but wont fit on the page. I have seen this before but unsure as to how to do it, I want to put a breakline in the viewport so the scale can be bigger but have the same dimension distance.

why my crosshairs stutter after I select an object? I first noticed it after the AutoCAD release that added vertex control options to plines. Crosshairs hang for a second or two after selecting an object that has vertices. Seems like CAD is evaluating the vertices.

There may be 50 piles on one site and it would be a lot easier to create a surface by selecting the points manually instead of creating so many point groups.
Everytime I do a command where I have to select something, such as move, copy, etc., this pesky "selection" box comes up. This started just a couple of days ago and is annoying. What setting I need to change to get the box to go away?
