AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Spanning Pipe Labels Calculating Incorrect Slope

Oct 30, 2013

I notice issues using spanning pipe labels for the first time recently after having used them for years.  The slope calculated by the spanning pipe label is completely wrong.  I've attached a picture in which Labeled two pipes connected by a null structure.  The two labels on the bottom are the pipes labeled individually at 3.53% and 3.34%.  When labeling them as a spanning pipe, if I choose the downstream pipe first and them the upstream pipe it shows me a slope of 0.48%.  If I choose the upstream pipe first, then it gives me 2.88%.  Either way it's wrong.

As I was writing this I decided to check and see if the pipes were flowing the same direction (Start to End or End to Start).  Turns out they weren't.  After flipping one of the pipes around so that they both are laid out in the same direction (Start to End from Upstream to Downstream) the label now reads 3.37%, which is correct.

Seems like an the label should honor the flow direction of the pipe, no matter if they have been laid out in opposite directions or not.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Spanning Pipe Labels In Profile

Dec 3, 2012

Having problems with the spanning pipe labels in profile.  Sometimes it works fine and others not at all.  It will let me pick the two structures at each end and highlights the pipes, but then it will not let me pick the pipe to place the label on.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Band - Spanning Pipe Labels

Mar 30, 2012

I was looking at placing pipe information into a Profile Band. I see that I can include the following properties in a pipe label in the profile band:

<[Total Slope Across Span(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[Number of Pipes in Span(GC|UN|Sn)]>
<[Drop Across Span(Um|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>

Only problem is they don't actually give me the information of a spanning pipe, only a single pipe. I see no way of choosing which pipes will be spanned. Am i missing something in the creation of the profile band that allows me to choose the spanning pipes or is this broken?

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 :: Calculating Capacity Of Rectangular Pipe (not A Culvert)

May 7, 2013

In Land Desktop using the Hydrology tools, we could get capacities for rectangular pipes based on slope, size, etc.  

I have tried using the Hydraflow Express tools for this, but cannot figure out how to use them for a RECTANGULAR pipe (i.e. 10x4) box.  Saw the circular option, but couldn't change where it says circular.

This is not a culvert analysis because we have inlets, multiple slopes, etc.  It is part of an entire system.  

I use these tools to layout the system before I want to put it into the analyses software we are using.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Path Array For Slope Labels?

Apr 4, 2012

I have a polyline defining a proposd wind farm access track and I have offset it 10m each side. I have then dreated a slope label between the southernmost end points which gives the existing ground slope at right angles to the centreline. I created the Array (as shown in arrayed.jpg) and it looked good but after hitting enter there were only three labels (after enter.jpg)

I did a rectangular array of slope labels with no problem at all so what's wrong with the way I'm doing the path??

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slope Labels For Feature Lines Projected To Profile

Sep 21, 2011

C3D2011

Say you have a feature line in plan view and you project it to profile view. Is there a way to label the true slope of the projected feature line segments in profile?

The profile view depth labels are not accurate since it's simply calculating the length from station to station in profile.

...and of course this does not correspond to the true segment length since the feature line is not parallel to the alignment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Data Shortcuts Incorrect Inverts

Oct 10, 2013

I have a source drawing with a proposed surface, alignment, and pipe network.  When I data shortcut these objects into a new drawing, everything comes in correctly except the pipes.  The inverts are incorrect.  The pipes maintain correct slope, just the inverts on both ends are off.  The structures they are attached to have the correct rim and sump.

I have included a screen shot of the properties box for the same pipe in the source and referenced file.

I'm at a loss.  I have made sure the parts list and rules are identical in both files.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network - Profile Sump Display Incorrect

Dec 2, 2010

I am having problems with the display of my structures in a profile view.  Previously, when I change the inverts of the pipes connected to my structure it would automatically adjust the bottom (sump) of the box invert to match my lowest pipe.  However, for some reason it has stopped doing it and is now displaying the sump invert incorrectly.  I have my style set to "Display as a Boundary".  I have edited the structure sump to be by both elevation and depth, but it does not update the sump elevation.  I have tried to grip edit the sump but it seems to be locked at a certain elevation.  I have a profile with 10+ structures and they are all at multiple depths.  I realize there are minimum depths allowed by the structure, but I have exceeded the minimum depths in all cases.  Attached is an image that depicts my problem.  No matter what I do to change the depth it stays locked at a certain elevation.

I have multiple profile views with a pipe network. In a number of cases, I have a pipe that extends to the end of one profile view and continues on the next. I can label the pipe on one profile but not on the other. Is there a way to add two labels to the same pipe - one label on one profile view and another label on the other profile?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing Labels And Pipe Networks

Aug 15, 2013

On my drawings when I want to edit a label, I click the label, the ribbon changes and gives me options for that label, I click "edit label group" then a dialog box for that label style pops up and gives me more options.

Same drawings on another employees workspace, after clicking the label the ribbon changes, "edit label group" is selected from the ribbon, the command line then asks to pick a label you would like to edit even though you already selected a label. 

What is the issue here? Does a system variable need to be set to "1" instead of "0" somewhere?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Invert Labels In Profiles?

Oct 15, 2012

I am trying to place my pipe invert labels at the actual point of the invert. When using the pipe label style composer, I have selected Anchor Point to be "Bottom Inner Diameter". Why is it that the label style still imports into the center of the pipe? No matter which anchor point I choose the label still inserts to the middle of the pipe. Is there a hidden setting that I am missing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Labels Display 180 And Mirror Image?

Nov 19, 2013

I created a project from scratch.  I created some pipe labels showing our companies arrow block in label the and set it to Grade Check.  It worked great.  It point in the downward slope and at the end of each pipe.  No issue.  I copied the label style to an existing project I inherited and did not set up.  In that project, certain variables for pipe and structure labels display  backwards or mirror image.   I can't figure it out.  I copy those  same structure and pipe labels to a new project and they display fine.

Also when I create a profile view the numbers for my vertical elevations in the profile are backwards (but plot fine).  The labels mentioned above do not plot fine.  I have also copied items from another project and they came in mirror image including the text.

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

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 :: Slow In Selecting Grips For Structure / Pipe Labels

Jul 15, 2009

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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Shoulder Subassembly That Varies Slope In Relation To Lane Superelevation Slope

Jan 22, 2013

i need a shoulder subassembly that varies slope in relation to the lane superelevation slope. i know that i can get a subassembly for the shoulder that will follow the alignment superelevation xml data but in my case i can't use it because we are just adding a shoulder to an existing road. we're not changing the superelevation of the existing road, just milling and overlaying and widening. right now i've created a profile of the outside edge of the shoulder that gives me the correct shoulder slope but whenever i change my centerline profile i have to redo the shoulder profiles which is a real time suck.
