AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Points Added From File / Can Change Their Style

Mar 14, 2013

I can only change the layer color.

But I can't change the cross simbol, its drwaing scale.

Also cant view the point number,....

Maybe I cant view or set these properties when points were added using   "Point Files" option.??

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Numbers Of Points Added To A Surface From Point Cloud?

Jan 7, 2013

I know that there is a limitation on the numbers of points added to a surface from a point cloud.  But I'm curious how Civil 3D determines which points to exclude from the surface.  Is there a special alorithm/criteria the software uses?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Breaklines Which Aren't Added To A Surface?

Feb 29, 2012

I 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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Large Surface - Converting Points To Cogo Points

Mar 5, 2013

I have a large surface (over 1.5 million points and 20 000hectares)

I need to get a point file .csv from the TIN to be able to use it in another program.

-so i've extracted the points from my surface, but they are Autocad points.

-next step is to convert them to civil 3d points.

-I can not select them all when converting them or my computer crashes.

-so i select about 25 000 at a time, the converting takes roughly 10 minutes.

and i have over 1.5 million points to do.

how can i speed this up.

will more ram useful?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Display Disappears When Breakline Added

Sep 24, 2013

After adding 9 or so breaklines, the display of my surface (e.g. contours) disappears when I add the next breakline.  Based on the surface elevation shown at the pointer location, the breakline seems to have been added and the surface rebuilt.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Default Label Style To Child Style

Jan 2, 2013

I am trying to change the default label styles for AddSegmentLabel under general styles using .NET...

Dim X As Autodesk.Civil.Settings.SettingsCmdAddSegmentLabel = CD.Settings.GetSettings(Of Autodesk.Civil.Settings.SettingsCmdAddSegmentLabel)()

X.Styles.LineLabel.Value = strChildStyleName ... says name does not exist

or

X.Styles.LineLabelStyleId.Value = oidChildStyle ... "The type of objectId is wrong"

If I manually change it to a child style and then check the values, they are the same as what I'm trying to set them to. If you use a "parent" style then these both work. Am I doing something wrong or this another limitation?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating A Surface From Points?

Jul 30, 2013

I have a grid survey of points and I've entered these points into Civil 3D.  Now what I want to do is use these points to create a surface so that I can create a slope analysis of the surveyed area.  My problem is that I can't get the points into a point group.  

I have a generic grid (15 x 15) of points set up and I've only used a portion of them (defined by the dimensions of the site).  So I want to create a surface that includes all of the points that aren't set at an elevation of 0.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cannot Remove Points From Surface

Mar 29, 2013

I have an "existing" surface built. But there has been some construction since my company surveyed the site. So, my surveyor went out and got the new points in the area of the new construction. I am trying to remodel the "existing" surface without rebuilding the entire surface. I have removed the old (demoed) points from the point group used to define the surface. But, the points are not being removed from the surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extracting Points From A Surface

May 31, 2013

I built my surface by importing points directly, ie, not through the ribbon, so i have no points listed in prospector.  i have been editing the points (mostly deleting errant survey points) and would like to export the final data set.  The only step i found, was to show points in surface style, and then Extract Objects (of which i selected Points).

This seems to have no placed all the points into my DWG, but HOW do I export this files into a single text file??

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface On Nearly Aligned Points

Sep 12, 2013

I have alignement of wall or embankment. I have existing ground including this corridor river. I have also CSV file with points (x,y,z). On my sketch there is drawn. Points present FDL (flow defence level) maximum level of river in case of huge rain or other things. These are almost aligned. I need to transform it (project) into alignment. I have to create profile of EG, FDL (based on this point) and then create new profile of height of wall or bank. What is the best solution for projecting this points. I tried with grading (distance and grade0%) I tried then with offsetting this feature line based on points and used it as breaklines. Created surface had holes.Even real is worst because alignment is perpendicular in same places to river.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding Points To A Surface?

Apr 24, 2013

I have created a surface with a point group.  I have a few points on the edge of my surface that need to be added to the surface.  I can add them to the point group, but when I updated my surface nothing happens.  The triangles don't extend to my newly added points and my profile of the area doesn't show a surface where these new points should be. the new points I want to add have the same properties as the other points in the point group, they are cogo points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: All Points Default Point Label Style

I have set the default style for the drawing to a certain style by going to toolspace - settings and right clicking on point and clicking on edit feature settings ...under default styles i set it to the one I want for both point style and point label style......how come when I create a few manual points and then go to the prospector tab and right click on _all points, the point label style is not set to the default one I set it to as I described above? The points are not coming in the way I want them to?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Created Point Style To Flatten Points

Jun 15, 2012

I am running C3D 2012

I have created a point style to flatten the points and lines I create locating buildings effortlessly. I have called the point style "no elevation" and set the 3D geometry to flatten it at zero elevation. I then created a Point key description BLDX that references the style "No Elevation". I also made a figure under my figure group for BLDX that is not a breakline.

My BLDX is still coming in at elevation as well as the corresponding figure. When I hover over the points, it shows that it is using my point style of "No Elevation".

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Projecting COGO Points To Profile - Style

May 17, 2012

I have projected Civil 3D COGO Points projected to a profile.  I simply want to display the Civil 3D Point Number for each point in the profile. 

In the Profile Projection Label Style, the only field in the text editor that displays this point number is the "Source Object Name.  This shows up as "CogoPoint 124" for point 124 (see attached).  How do I make this simply say the point number ONLY, i.e. "124"?

It would be nice to program the label style to display this field, yet delete the first 10 characters of "CogoPoint x", so it only says the point number, "x"

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Volume Surface Width Points

Apr 18, 2013

What I have is a tin volume surface. I am asked to label the points with the thickness of the volume surface.So where there was survey data on the top layer I need to have the width of the surface at those same points.

Any commands that can make this possible?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Not Extending To All Included Points

Jun 25, 2013

2013 version. Long story short, I am having problems with pressure networks in my drawing so to simplify things I want to just show the top of the current watermain in my profiles because we are not doing anything with the water main, though it needs to be shown in the profile. To do this I created some points where the watermain is and made their elevation 1.8m lover than the existing surface at those points (due to the 1.8m of cover the watermain has).

I then created a surface using those points and an outer boundary surrounding the points. For some reason the surface stops at one point and doesn't continue to the rest (about 5 more points). So when I create my profile the surface stops short. The points are included in the point group the surface uses, and the outer boundary doesn't cut them out either. Not sure why the surface isn't referencing those points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Surface From Existing Points?

Jun 11, 2013

I have been given a survey on AutoCAD which was orginally 2D with the levels written in text next to it. I changed each point (690) to include the level in the Z-direction. I am trying to calculate volumes of topsoil removal and then cut anf fill volumes. 

So I opened up Civil3D in metric template and imported my drawing as I have not been given a ddata file with the co-ordinates. Unfortunately I am having trouble creating a surface between the existing points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Compare Points Perpendicular To Surface

Feb 11, 2012

I am working on drawings where we create dtm's from surfaces, use the dtm for layout, shoot the asbuilt of the final surface, and then compare hundreds of shots to the surface to develop an as-build report.

I want to be able to select a mass of points, compare the perpindicular difference in elevation to the surface, and have an excel spread sheet generated from the results.

My coworkers are able to do this in Terramodel but I am on a mission to eliminate Terramodel from my day to day work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Points To Surface Not In Point Group?

Mar 7, 2012

Is it possible to add points to a surface without adding them to a point group?  I've got a bunch of ponds I'm doing and it will save me some time if I could just select the points, and not have to put them in a point group then add the point group.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating A Surface From Existing Points?

Jan 16, 2013

I am having some trouble creating a TIN from a point layer in Civil 3D 2011. Would the best course of action be to extract the points from the drawing and creating a surface from there, or is there a way to create the TIN around the existing points in Model space?

I'm much better versed in AutoCAD, but excited about furthering my understanding with Civil3D.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Export Surface STYLE To Different Drawing

Feb 10, 2012

I customized a surface style to show relative elevations, with lighter tones representing higher elevations, and darker tones representing lower elevations.  With a single glance, I know the high and low spots in my project area.

C3d provides several default surface elevation styles.  None of them comes close to providing the instant, data-at-a-glance information that my customized style does, which I use to design stormwater systems.  Again, it's really useful to see, with one look, where the high and low spots are in my project area.

I can't figure out how to export, transfer, copy, whatever, my customized style from one drawing to a new drawing.  If I want to see my customized style, I have to recreate it from scratch in each and every drawing where I want to use it.

How to transfer a surface style from one drawing to another?  By the way, I tried opening up both drawings, with both toolspace/settings windows open.  Tried dragging and dropping the customized style to the new drawing.  Didn't work.

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 :: Apply Default Style To Points Not In Description Keys?

Sep 23, 2013

Can I apply a default style to points with a raw description not in the description key sets?

When I import survey points into the drawing my description keys will assign specifed styles (and therefore layers) to descriptions it recognises, and a default style (and layer) to ones it does not recognise.

Then if i change raw descriptions in the drawing I can "Apply description keys" and have the styles and layers change based on the changes I made to the raw description. This is fine for descriptions in the key set.

Can I get Civil3D to apply the default style to points that did have a description that is in the DKS but has now been changed to one that is not? As it works for me now, these points remain unchanged in there layer and style.
