AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Elevation Label That Give Spot Elevation

Jul 11, 2013

I am trying to create an elevation label that will give me the spot elevation followed by the letters "TC" and then on the line below subtract 4 inches from the elevation followed by the letters "BC".  It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Spot Elevation For Surface To Plot Screened

Dec 18, 2013

xrefing a drawing that has annotated surface labels spot elevations into a Precise Grading Breakout Sheet, but making sure those labels plot screened.  How do I make sure I can plot it screened?  I have set the label styles By Layer and the text within that style is set By Layer and the Layer I created for the styles is set to plotstyle screened and color 8, I also made sure that the Precise Grading breakout sheet has the xref layers applicable to those surface labels set to screened plotstyle and color 8.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Spot Elevation Label With Dynamic Location

May 8, 2013

I know that I can add coordinates for such elevation using text component editor but I have to add the letter "N" for North or "E" for East to identify the location of the elevation (North/East/South/West). But, is there a way to make a label style that reads up the location of an elevation automatically?

I've attached pictures below for this issue.

Revit :: Spot Elevation Text Wrong In Rotated Dependent Views

Sep 27, 2012

I have just discovered that Spot Elevation text is mesbehaving in rotated dependent views:

If you have an orthogonal parent plan view, then create a dependant view from it, then rotate just that dependant view, then place a spot elevation - the spot elevation symbol respects the rotation of the view (ie its paralel to screen/view boundary), but the spot elevation text remains in the orientation of the parent view.  see attached image.
 
This does not happen if you rotate a normal Revit plan view; nor does it happen with a callout - both cases the symbol and the text are parallel to the view boundary.  I think this is a bug?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Elevation Colors In Surface Style

Jun 24, 2013

I have a surface with all sorts of heights, and want to add color to different heights. Getting the color there is not that difficult, but how do I swap them around? i.e. red is 'low ground' and blue is 'high ground'. In Holland we use it the other way around though, so blue should be low ground and red high ground. 

Where exactly do I change this? I've tried it in the surface style tab, surface properties tab, analysis tab, and some others, but no success so far.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Elevation Banding (2D) Style - Doesn't Exist

Jun 1, 2012

I have created existing and proposed surfaces in Civil 3D 2008 and I'm trying to create a volume surface to produce a cut & fill map.  The problem I'm running into is everything I try to follow mentions choosing Elevation Banding (2D) as the style.  The only style I have to choose from is Standard.  Does the Elevation Banding (2D) style normally come with the program?  Or is this something you have to create?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Elevation Bandon (2D) Surface Style Is Missing

Apr 9, 2013

I've created a triangulation volume surface to compare two surfaces. Under the analysis tab in Surface Properties I have banded my levels in metre intervals and coloured the bands accordingly. I would now like to display the 'banding' in my drawing. Under the information tab I should be able to select 'Elevation Banding (2D)' as a Surface Style, however this is missing and I can only select 'Standard'... How to get this selection back.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Gridlines And Elevation Text Intervals

Jul 12, 2012

I was wondering how I can set my Elevation Text and Profile Major Gridlines at different intervals?  It seems like there stuck to one another.

For example, I want my Major Gridlines at every 1.0m but show elevation at every 5.0m.

I tried 'splitting' the profile view with a hacked up style but it seems to be messing up my pipes.  Is there a way I can make a vertical band of some sort?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Tab Under Text Style Or In Text Component Editor Under Format Tab?

Apr 3, 2013

For labels, is the font decided in the general tab under text style or in the text component editor under the format tab? Are there overrides? There seems to be multiple locations for fonts choices when creating a label and I can't find a nice black and white answer.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Override Cogo Point Elevation Label With Text

Dec 17, 2012

How I would replace the Elevation label on a point with Alphanumeric text on certain points in a point group (or if it can be done at all)

Some background info:

I work with site diagrams that have monitoring wells and each one has a groundwater elevation value that gets updated every year according to field data. Our current setup is that the monitor well name and elevation values are displayed using point labels and looks like:

x 12-1 (Monitoring well name)

   788.432 (Groundwater elevation value)

However, sometimes the monitoring well is dry and we need to display 'DRY' instead of a numeric elevation value. Autocad won't let me put 'DRY' as an elevation because it's not a number. Is there a way to override this, or somehow make the label display 'DRY' if elevation of 0 is entered? 

Another use to overriding point label elevation is that sometimes the groundwater elevation that we get from the monitoring well is so far off from the general contour pattern that we will put the elevation value of that well in brackets such as (788.432) and indicate that this means the elevation was not included in the groundwater contour flow map. 

Is there a way to do this override, or is there another method I should be using to label my monitoring well elevations? I know I could just MTEXT everything, but that's double the time to update the point elevations for the contours and then updating the mtext to display the numerical elevation values.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Elevation Takes On Elevation Of Snapped Object?

Dec 19, 2012

When I snap a point to an object, the point takes on the elevation of the object. I would rather the point's elevation stay as is.

-changing osnapz variable

-latest civil 3d service pack

A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue

Revit :: Spot Elevation Finding Perimeter Only?

Apr 30, 2013

One of my colleagues was able to insert Spot Elevations by picking anywhere on the surface of his floor objects in his floor plan yesterday (2013 Central file with two users working).  Today, when he tries to place the same Spot Elevation object, he is only able to pick the floors at the perimeter of the floor objects instead of the surface of the floor.  what setting or mode they accidentally changed to prompt this unfortunate behavior?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text Style Keeps Changing?

Jun 28, 2012

This has happened in a couple of drawings now. The STYLE dialog keeps saying "The current style has been modified. Do you want to save your changes?" even when I have changed nothing at all. Anyway, I select the style I want, hit Apply and  Set Current, and put in some text. Now I list that text, and sure enough, instead of being on L80 it says L-BASE|Standard or some such thing. If I use DTEXT, Style and set it there, my text will be the correct style - but if I go back to the Style dialog box, L-BASE|Standard will show as current again. Acad C3D 2011.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Vertical Text Style

Sep 11, 2013

Question:  I know if I use some of the basic fonts that I am able to click on the properties of that text style to use vertical typing instead of horizontal but for the other fonts this is not an option.  How can I get my words to go type vertical using those fonts, specifically Times New Roman.  Think of a marker stick for a pipeline valve or pipeline location.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 - Text Style Changing

I am using Civil 3D 2012 and seem to have a reoccurring problem with the text styles changing. At the start of the day, I will open my drawing and find that my text style has changed and I am not sure what is causing this. I check my text styles and none of my settings has change nor has the text style. Nothing seems to fix the problem other than running a repair of the system.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Band Title Text Style

Is there a way to make the Profile band title a specific text style?  At the moment it seems that when I access

Profile Properties>Pick Band Style>Profile Data Bans Style>Compose Label>Label style composer

I go to the Contents (under Text) and edit it to bring up the Text component Editor.

In this if I go to the Format Tab the text style is set to annotative, however under that it says font style as an overide. How do I remove the override and set the style of the text to the text style. And how do i change the text style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Geometry Point Labels - Text Style

Jan 21, 2013

I am in the process of modifying our current company standards to conform to another set of standards. The main change is switching from "simplex" font style to "Tahoma".

Simple in theory but problematic in execution, our main alignment label style "GEO-LABL", used for P.O.T, PC, ect. utilizes an underlined reference text object in order to control the length of the line under the call. The base insertion places the call perpendicular to the alignment, when dragged to the left or right it switches to stacked text plan readable. Works like a champ with the "simplex" text style - 1.jpg see attached.

Now simply changing the font to "Tahoma" - 2.jpg the larger you make the text the larger the gap.I am trying to stay away from adding a line for the underline due to the difference in lengths needed when the call gets longer or shorter based on alignment name or stationing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Marker Style Or Note With Attributed Block Text

Is is possible to have an attributed block in a marker style or note style?  I would like to have editable text upon insertion of the marker or text?  I have tried unsuccessfully to get it to work.  Does the fact that C3D displays the marker and note as objects prevent it from being editable?  Is there a workaround?
