AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Sized Drawing File Challenge

Dec 30, 2013

I received a drawing from another consultant that uses C3D 2013. When I open the drawing in C3D 2012 I get the message that it was created in a newer version of C3D so I assume he did a save as to 2010. 

When I get drawings like this I copy what I need to the clipboard and paste into a new drawing (acad.dwt). This usually works fine. But in this case the drawing is almost 4 MB and contains just one arc. I purged everything I can from the drawing and it is still 3 MB. 

I looked for but could not find any of the usual suspects: drawing scales, regapps, empty text objects and wipeouts. When I list "all" there is one arc in model space and 4 view ports in paper space. I did notice that there are hundreds of linetypes and text styles that cannot be purged. 

I tried export to AutoCAD DWG 2010, 2007, 2004 and 2000 but that didn't work. Export to AutoCAD DWG R14 and DXF R12 both caused C3D to become unresponsive. Saveas to DWG R14 and DXF R12 caused C3D to become unresponsive.

GIMP :: Create Huge Billboard Sized Files In Super High DPI?

Apr 25, 2012

I am printing super high res images onto fabric. My print guy has instructed me to create my images in 1440 dpi and my fabric is 58 inches wide and about 80 yards long. I need to create ONE image so they can just print it continuously along the whoe piece of fabric. So I need to create a REALLY BIG image. They have recommended Adobe Creative Suite, but of course I want to do it with GIMP.

Just today, I installed the latest GIMP, and it doesn't seem to be letting me create even a 58x72 inch image in 1440 dpi. Is there an add on or a way that I can create huge tiff files in GIMP?.....or do I have to shell out the cash and get Creative Suite?

I need labels of 50mmx20mm and I resize my tiff image and then paste onto an A4 page intending to copy paste until page is full.

1.Problem is if i use the ruler it shows that my image is only about 40mm wide even though the size boxes at the top clearly say it is 50mm?!!! see image

2. Is there an automatic way to fill apage with a specified sized image eg labels as the Impostion tab maxes out at 4x4(16up)?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Re-sized Dialogue Boxes Not Keeping Their New Size

Apr 29, 2012

I thought standard Windows behavior is that when I re-size a dialogue box that next time the box is activated, it remembers the size it was when I last used it.

Why does this not happen for me in Civil 3D?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Elevation With No Curves

Jan 24, 2011

I'm working on a runway in Civil 3D 2011. I want to transition cross slopes along the runway. i.e. 1.5% for sta 1+00 to 10+00 and then transition into 1.0%. I thought super elevation would be the best way to do this (I dont want any actual super elevation, just transitions in cross slope). When I select the alignment and "Calculate/Edit Superelevation" i get the following message in the commanding line:

"_AeccCalcEditSuperelevation No superelevation data has been calculated for the selected reference alignment." It does not bring up the wizard.

My runway alignment doesn't have any curves and I'm thinking that's the problem. Is is possible to create super elevation without curves?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Elevation Max Slope At 2%?

Mar 22, 2013

I am using Civil 3d 2013 and I am trying to calculate the superelevation information in which the curve will max at 2%. Is there a way in which the superelevation can be calculated using the superelevation wizard in which a 2% SE is the max? So far it will only let me use the SE for 4% local roads and I have to edit it using the SE layout.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Remove Super Elevation

Sep 12, 2012

I have a superelevation on an alignment but want to remove this as its overriding the assembly I'm using. I have tried using the tabular editor within edit super elevation to remove the various sections but it's still not working. How can I remove the entire super elevation and revert back to my standard assemblys?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Elevation And Horizontal Transitions

Feb 14, 2013

I need getting a roadway to transition horizontally for a turn lane. If it were straight without super, it would be easy. However, the transition happens in a curve that needs to be super elevated.

I know I can use the lane transition assembly and set it to "change offset and grade" but with that, I would have to manually calculate my EOP elevations.

Is there a sub assembly with the ability to use the centerline super elevation data as well as transition horizontally?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Elevation - Set Max Values For Subgrade

Feb 26, 2013

I have a section of road that has super elevation from -6% to +6%. The asphalt layer (top green) supers from -6 to +6 but the base course (red) only goes from -4 to +6. I attached a sketch for some visual information.

What subassembly recommended for this scenario? 

Is there a way I can set max values for the subgrade? Or an assembly where I can use superelevation for the top and for the subgrade?

I am using C3D 2012 but can use 2013 if it makes a difference.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Transition With Super-elevation?

May 6, 2010

With Civil 2010 I used superelevataion to transition a street's cross fall from left to right. It was very straight forward with 2010.

Now with 2011 it appears that I cannot add superelevation to an alignment with any curve and change the crossfall of a street from left to right over 20m.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Super Elevation Corridor With ETW Design Profile

Aug 15, 2012

I've got a highway project for which I'm modeling the corridor but the design profiles given to me are for the right lane top edge (ETW) and not the centerline (crown).  This is an undivided planer roadway with a typical 2% cross-slope.  How can I use that profile for the right edge to run my corridor?  I can't seem to get the corridor to use the super table that is attached to the centerline when I use an offset assembly.  Is an offset assembly the right way to go with this design?  

What I've done just to get going is to take that right edge design profile and draw it in my centerline profile view, then lower it 0.24' (which is my 2% normal cross-slope for a 12' lane) and then use that as a centerline profile and let my normal super assembly and table data control the corridor through the supers.  So far that is working--but is there a better way to do this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Showing Super Elevation In Profile View

Jun 1, 2012

We don not show CL profiles and only show the gutters on the CL profile view. We also do not used profile bands.

I need to show Superelevation on both left and right profiles complete with labeling.

Short of creating a seperate alignment for each, sampling the corridor surface, superimposing it onto the CL profile view and then creating a layout profile by drawing over the sampled surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Different Surface Cross Slopes And Super Elevation

Mar 6, 2012

Our provincial standard requires subgrade and subbase surfaces to have a normal cross slope of -3%.  The base and asphalt surfaces have a normal cross slope for the driving lane of -2% and -5% for the shoulder.

I have been trying to figure out how to do this in C3D.  I have thought of different ways of handling this for a straight tangent, but have not tested them.  What is causing me the most grief at the moment is how to handle this in a curve with super elevation.

The transition will be different for -2%, -3% and -5% Runout distances. 

Can C3D handle this? What about using Subassembly Composer?

(I should mention that I have tried with Subassembly Composer, but I am not sure how to deal with superelevation.  -

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment / Corridor / Super Elevation Error

Jul 16, 2012

Using Civil 3D 2012 SP 1 on Win7 Pro 64-bit. 

Is there any reason why a corridor model would not be respecting the manually entered super elevation values in the alignment? I have several stations that should be calculated with even super elevation values, but they aren't. For example, at station 0+080 on my alignment the left crown should be running at -3%, but it is actually being calculated at -2.47%. It isn't just one station; it's most of them. No overridden stations, vertical targets, etc in the corridor. Just a fairly straight-forward align (hor/vert) with super, simple assembly (two lanes, shoulder, daylight), simple corridor.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modeling Super Critical And Transitional Flow

Jan 9, 2013

I am modelling a steep channel of constant slope operating under super critical flow conditions between two small weirs. I have set up two different models to represent this:

1. A single link between the upstream and downstream weirs.
2. I have also modeled the channel as a number of smaller links with the same slope separated by nodes spaced arbitrarily along the channel length.

The two models give very different results. The former results in an unstable channel (oscillates between sub- and super critical flow) and a maximum velocity in the channel of around 1.5m/s. It seems to me that the velocity in the upper section of the channel should be higher. I assume this has something to do with the manner in which SSA averages the velocities along the entire channel link.

The second model gives more realistic velocities in the upper channel links (around 3.6m/s) and a hydraulic jump and transition to sub critical flow upstream of the weir in the lower channel. This seems more realistic. I think the trick here is to make sure that the downstream link is long enough to enable realistic formation of the hydraulic jump in the model.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sub Assembly Similar To Super Layer Varying Width

VideoStudio :: Use X4 To Create Custom Sized SWF Flash File For Website?

Mar 8, 2011

I want to use VSx4 to create a custom sized .swf, flash file for a website. I plan to use a free program called Any Video Converter to covert my final VSx4 creation to the .swf as I hope that future versions of VS will have .swf output.

I'll be creating the video using stills with transitions in between.

Now I haven't tried this yet but...

I know how to change the project properties to custom frame sizes which is fine but what should I aim to be creating? I was thinking of an MP4 (H264) file but just wondering if you have other thoughts on what I should create as a video file before converting to .swf

The stills will be j-pegs. No audio will be involved
