AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Analysis Range Colours

Oct 31, 2012

Is there a way to automatically adjust the cut range colours (REDS) in the attached scheme such that the lighter colours denote lower cut depths in the same way that the fill range does (Greens)

I know they can be manually adjusted but when the analysis is run again the colours revert back

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slope Analysis Legend To Show Percent Of Range

Apr 16, 2009

I am working on creating a surface style, legend and surface settings to create Slope Analysis Maps. These maps show a surface with different colors of hatches in triangles of the surface that are within the specified ranges. I have 3 ranges, 0-10%, 10-20% and 20-100%. I have been able to do everything but include the percentage of the area of the range over the total area of the surface. I thought maybe an expression, but doesn't look like you can have expressions for table styles. Attached is a pdf that shows my legend and a surface with the style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Custom Color Range For Surface Elevations

Apr 2, 2012

I've got a number of scenario diagrams to produce where I want to show the volume of material to be dredged from a harbour. There will be no "fill" just cut. In some parts of the area of interest the existing ground is below the target depth, so these holes wouldn't need to dredged further.

Two question:

1. Given that the area in question contains cut areas, but also other areas that I don't want to fill. What is the best way to get a good surface map and volume estimation? Currently, I create a feature line surrounding the entire area to be less than the target depth, set the elevation of the line at that depth, then grade to surface and add an infill. This gives me cut and fill volumes (for the deep holes), of which I ignore the fill number. Is there a better way??

2. I've created my TIN volume surface (comparison of EG with the graded depth surface). Now I want to present the maps with "range interval with datum", so the cut volumes are shaded increasing from (say) yellow to red, whereas for the "fill" areas I don't want to show anything (transparent would be ideal or maybe greys). Is there a way to create customised color ranges for the elevation analysis? As I'm doing numerous maps I don't want to be manually editing and re-editing the analysis range details. I'm using AutoCAD C3D 2012.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Get Pastel Colors Assigned To Surface Range

Oct 5, 2012

I have a volume surface that I want cut & fill displayed with elevation banding. I created a surface style and chose pastels for the color scheme. When I analyze the surface I chose elevations>> range interval with datum and I get 2d solids but they are not pastel even though the style assigned is the one I mentioned.

How do I get the colors to be pastel?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Volume Analysis

Jan 3, 2014

I have a large 200+ acre site that I have created a volume surface and analyzed it using the elevation banding with color to show different levels of cut and fill.  The owner has broken this area into 10 different irregular zones.  Is there a way to do the elevation banding of a volume surface and have it color the individual parcels.  They don't all have to be at once.  I can do each one at a time and PDF the drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting Surface Analysis

Jul 11, 2013

We have an "original" existing surface of a ditch, a massive ditch. dredging has taken place and now we have a new existing surface of the ditch. the client wanted to see the delineation between the areas that are now 3" lower, 6" lower and 9" lower (and so on). I was able to do this easily with elevation banding. now the client would like some sort of GPS uploadable based on the color map that shows the banding. How to accomplish this without having someone set there and set points along the different colors on the surface. that is going to be incredibly time consuming. is there an automated way to export the data that I am looking for?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Analysis And Transparency

Nov 6, 2013

It appears color transparency for surface analysis is now broke in 2013.  It used to work in 2011 because I use to bring in Lidar data and run elevation analysis over top of aerial photos. I never found any type of resolution.  Is Autodesk aware and are they working on this?

This issue reminds me of the Point Cloud issue with Lidar data right after 2013 came out.  It worked in 2011 just fine and then 2013 they broke it.  After calls to autodesk support and thread exchanges plus several months of waiting, service pack 2 for 2013 fixed the lidar classification issue.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Analysis By Elevation?

Feb 8, 2006

I've tried to create a surface analysis by using a point group reading xdata to set the elevations and when I set my surface properties to display the elevation shades it will only allow me to set the range to 5 or less. All of the other analysis settings for direction, slope, and slope arrows allow me to input the nuber of ranges I want, but I need the elevation analysis.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export / Import Surface Analysis

Sep 7, 2011

Within the UKIE Country Kit there is a lsp that exports/imports Surface elevation Analysis data (attached lisp file)

Is it possible to be modified so that a Slope analysis is exported/imported and how easy/difficult it is to do (or even make the alterations themselves!).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Default Surface Analysis Type?

Jun 20, 2013

I am working on a commercial development with multiple large tenants with multiple standards.  To begin to verify the preliminary grading is in compliance, I use the slope arrow surface analysis type.

Due to my multiple standards, I find myself changing these values frequently.  My question : Is there a way to make the slope arrow the default analysis type when you are in the surface properties dialog box? 

I know it is not a major issue, but it is annoying and repetitive, having to go to the list box, and select slope arrow over and over again.  One workaround I have considered to avoid this maddening situation is to make two surfaces, with each criteria assigned to the surface properties and simply paste the main surface into each.  Then control which is visible based on what I need to look at.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cut And Fill Analysis / Values Different - Corrupted Surface

Jul 10, 2012

I was undertaking a cut and fill analysis but the values were very different. Evaluating spot levels the depth was given as 1.2m but the volume surface stated it was only .6m.

After a while I noticed that the master surface had been "corrupted" duing a recovery, all definitions to the controlling corridor and other objects had been removed and a snapshot added with the description "added during recovery".

I had to remove the surface and start from scratch re-building the definitions.

GIMP :: Restrict Image To Very Limited Range Of Colours

Jul 4, 2012

I've been using GIMP for a while for basic website stuff. Very basic website stuff. I've recently been asked if GIMP has some more advanced features. Well, advanced put to my usual level of use anyway.

So, I thought I'd query if I could do the following in GIMP...

(1) Edit a BMP but ensure the file size remains the same?

The person asking is using the images for a specific purpose and they always have to be the same size.

(2) Open .pspimages and possibly save back as this format.

The answer to this seems to be no on the opening front anyway.

(3) Restrict the image to a very limited range of colours, say 3-6?

Again this is due to the very specific and restricted nature of the images they are creating.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Excel Table Named Range?

Oct 24, 2013

I am trying to insert an excel table using a datalink. If I insert the entire sheet, it includes too many cells. If I set a print area and choose that area, it will not insert the table. The first time it acts like it is going to work, but then never lets me place the table. The second attempt it just will not let me select that data link. If I actually name a group of cells, I get the same behavior as the print area. Have issues with importing excel tables? Am I missing a step?

My work flow is

Create an excel sheet & format the table.

Select desired sells, set print area.

Save & Close excel

go to annotate tab in civil 3d

select table icon

choose from data link

launch data link manager

create data link and choose range of cells as print area.

Press OK

it never let me choose insert point.

I have also tried to simply make the datalink and then run the table command with the same results.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Subassembly To Certain Station Range?

Jul 10, 2012

I have a sidewalk project with 5' wide sidewalk and the edge of sidewalk is 5' of the back of curb.  All is fine and well, I have link slope to surface subassembly assigned to one side and a link offset and slope subassembly to the other side of the sidewalk.  Everything daylights nicely.

Here is the issue......my link slope to surface subassembly is an 8:1 slope to tie into the existing surface model.  There is one stretch of sidewalk where I have a retaining wall behind the sidewalk for about 15'.  My section views are every 10' and in one of them the wall needs to show up.  I could use the link vertcial sub assembly in this area but I am not sure how to use a specific subassembly in one area.  Do I split that region up in my corridor, create a new region to use that references a new assembly to use in that 15' strectch which would contain the link vertical subassembly?  Or, do I create the link vertcial  subassembly in my current assembly and assign a station range to it so it doesn't show up throughout the entire corridor?  It's like I wante to transition in and back out of a subassembly.  Incidentally, I have one assembly used for the entire length of my project.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Correct / Manipulate Surface To Show Proper Flat Surface

Dec 2, 2011

I often have to do storm pond surfaces that (for the purposes of planning) are flat on the bottom. These surfaces are created from a combination of survey data and grading groups and the tin of these surfaces is perfectably acceptable. However, when contours are shown, the flat bottom is shown with contours jig-jagging all over the place.

The attached image shows a comparison of the same pond. The top was created with survey data and grading groups; the bottom was created using contour data only. The generated surface on the top shows the bottom contour going in different directions and has parts where the an expected contour is missing.

How to correct/manipulate the surface to show a proper flat surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reduced Maximum Length For Surface Triangles Causes Surface Holes

Oct 22, 2012

Has instances where you set your tolerance for the maximum triangle lenth to say 50m to reduce the amount of triangles along the edge that run at long distances. When I do this I end up with multiple surface holes and I'm not sure why as there are points in the area.

I thought well maybe it's because i should've reduced my max triangles first then added breaklines. Would this matter? I also thought I could add a line to the surface to fix the holes vs. deleting surface lines along the entire edge of a surface for many many miles.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing Existing Surface Using Edit Surface Command

Nov 14, 2012

I am trying to add points into a surface. I have done this before without any problems, but now I am having issues.

When I ID points which makes up the surface it gives me the correct Z level e.g. 24.5m, however when I hover over the surface it shows me the surface name and a different z level e.g. 0.65m. What is the reason for this difference in z levels? I think this may be causing the issue I am having when I add new points.

I select the surface and use the 'edit surface command' in the ribbon, choosing add point. 

When I add a point at the level I require(23.89m), it puts it in a lot higher than the surrounding area, so I tried to put the point in to the lower z levels (0.4m) it puts it in a lot lower!

What about starting with alignment1 profile view? Since I have created a polyline as the design profile ?

how do I shrink labels? Where is it in the settings ; the Align folder had been check.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add A Surface To Blank Drawing / Then Upload DEM Files To Surface

I am issues with DEM files that I am downloading from the USGS website.I download 24k, elevation for the area I need. I then choose staged 1 second, add a surface to a blank drawing, then upload the DEM files to the surface.

The surface imports correcty, but when I try to import  points taken by a surveyor on the same drawing, they plot incorrectly.The DEM surface and the points from the surveyor do not correspond. Also, the DEM surface is in meters, not feet. I have tried changing drawing settings, datum types, coordinate types, etc.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Surface Into Revit To Merge Surface And Buildings Together?

Jul 29, 2013

I have a project involving 3 programs. I am creating a planned development in 3d to be 3d printed when finished. The project is a 5 acre tract containing 8 buildings. I have built the surface in C3D and each building in Revit. The buildings are not in the same Revit file. For my solid work, I will bring the files over into 3ds Max Design to section into smaller quadrants to build in the 3d printer.

The questions:

Would it be better to import the surface into Revit to merge surface and buildings together?

Would it be better to import the buildings into C3D to merge entities?

Would it be better to bring those entities into 3ds Max and then merge them into one? Will 3ds Max Design allow me to insert entities accurately in the environment?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Subset Surface From Main Surface

Sep 15, 2013

I need to create a sub-set surface from my main surface. not sure what the vernacular is for a "subset surface" in c3d but i do have a feature line that bouinds the desired area, but that is as far as i can solve.

i did try creating a new surface - pasted the main surface in the edit definition, then deleted triangles until the boundary alighned wiht my featureline.  This seemed to work, but  when i view the properties of the smaller subset suface, it shows a mimum and maximum elevation that is incorrect.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Cut Fill Surface From Existing Surface

Mar 1, 2013

Im currently using an addon for Civil 3D called Novapoint. It allows me to create 3D models of surfaces made out of 3d faces and easily models cut and fill 3d-models for me.

The only thing i need to create a cut and fill model is one or several ground surfaces (existing ground, earth layers, rock etc. whatever i need) and a closed polyline/3Dpolyline that represents the level I want my cut and/or fill model.

I enter the spcifications I want such as; earth cut angle, rock cut angle, fill angle, select which surfaces i want to include in the model calculation and select the polyline.Novapoint then calculates the cut/fill model from the surfaces to the polyline and models the different cut/fill angles and gives me the results in a 3d-face model and a specification of the volyme of rock cut, earth cut an fill.

1. Novapoint is quite unstable and crashes alot

2. You cant create profiles out of 3d faces

3. Novapoint does not automaticly combine the start surfaces with the modeled cut/fill surface

4. A large surface made out of 3d-faces demands alot of computer power 

So I want to how I do the same that Novapoint does for me in Civil 3D? (I have access to Civil 3D 2007-2013 depending on which one you're using)I know I can take the 3Dfaces i created in Novapoint and make a surface in Civil 3D with them but I want to exclude Novapoint completely.
