AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Dual Feature Code

Oct 2, 2012

Is there a way we can support a duel feature code ?In the field the surveyor would enter into his file “ EWD[*TB[“ .This code indicates the  beginning of the “Edge of Woods” and “Top of Bank”  .

Each shot after that would be along the edge of woods and top of bank . “EWD*TB” -- This code indicates shots taken along  the “Edge of Woods” and “Top of Bank”

The surveyor would end this feature with    “ EWD]*TB]“.This code indicates the  ending of the “Edge of Woods” and “Top of Bank”

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Generating Base Map - Survey Code Offset

Sep 17, 2012

I am just beginning to use the Survey features in Civil3D 2012 to generate a base map.  When we use the offsets, we are having issues when we have a negative number: BC ST H-.5.  The line will not offset, it just comes in directly on top of the original line.  When we use a positive number, it offsets correctly: BC ST H1.4 V.1.  Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be changed for it to read the negative numbers?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: TBC Feature Code Processing

Nov 13, 2013

We have recently started using a feature code library with our tremble survey gear and have been processing the linework and exporting the lines as a DWG and the points as a CSV and when iput them in the same DWG in Civil3D the point and Line Vertices are exactly on top of each other. Does any know how to fix this? I dont know if its to do with rounding, LSF, or projection to Cartesian?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Figure To Feature Line - Export Survey Figures To Genio?

Sep 12, 2013

I have a client who uses Bently MX Roads for road design and requires that survey data be supplied in GENIO format. I realise that there are many possible options to get Civil3D survey data into MX, but I am trying to explore the use of the Subscription Extension to Import/Export GENIO.

Surfaces - no problem. Points - I see how I can get that to work. But the only linework that can be exported is Feature Lines, and it is also important that the feature lines have a name (likely related to the layer it is on).

I can convert survey figures to feature lines and name them one by one but would be very time consuming for a whole survey. Is there any way of doing all figures at once?

I'm guessing not and that it is probably easier to do the Genio creation from dwg in MX itself.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Code Set - Feature Line Selection

Nov 27, 2012

Is there a way to be able to choose a desired feature line when extracting from a corridor?  For example, when subgrade and finished grade are on top of each other, it seems subgrade is always coming as default for extraction.  I'm not getting the option to select the desired point code as usual for some reason.  The best way I found is by turning off the subgrade feature line from the corridor properties, which is a bit tedious.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Feature Lines Don't Update With Code Set Style

Nov 7, 2013

How do i get the feature lines in my corridor to change their style based on the code set style selected?Whats the point of defining featureline styles in the code set style if they don't change in the corridor? They only get used when you first create the corridor?

Is there something I am missing or is this the intended workflow?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Code To Display Station Of Feature Line At Start Of Segment

Mar 13, 2012

I have a feature line, and a labels table created for it. The table has the following columns: Line or Curve #, Station, Segment Start X, Segment Start Y, Segment Start X, Bearing/Delta, Length, Radius, Grade Ahead.

what code I need for the table to display the station of the feature line at the start of the segment?

I also have an alignment with the same stationing over top of the feature line, but Im not sure how to code a reference text into the table either. I can create an end segment reference text for the plan view labels but even if I copy that code into the labels table it doesn't work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figures Don't Match Survey Points

May 3, 2012

here's my process:

1- Import the asc file into my drawing.

2- Convert the asc file to a FBK file

3- Import my FBK file.  The survey figure linework generated doesn't overlay my previously imported asc file.  I checked the FBK file and the coord's match the asc file.  I'm confused as to why the survey figures don't overlay the survey points from the asc file, since the coords match in both?  The survey figures are all shifted .7' and 54deg. from the points.  The elevations are all good on the survey figures, as they match the survey points.

So my quick fix is to explode the survey figures, since I don't really need them for what I'm doing, and then select all the 3d polylines and move them to them to an appropriate survey point.  Everything then looks fine and I can get the job done.

However, I would like some insight as to why this might be happening.  It's strange that the FBK and asc coordinates match, but the survey figures aren't lying over them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Getting TDS RAW Survey Attributes Into It?

Dec 15, 2010

We process survey data using Attributes to add extra intelligence and reduce errors.

For example, when shooting trees, the RAW file will contain something like this:

SS,OP 50,FP1299,AR308.2057,ZE91.0918,SD128.282,--TREE
FC,PN1299,FNTREE
AT,TNSZ,TV11.0
AT,TNTY,TVMAPLE

or when shooting a street sign:

SS,OP 50,FP1437,AR324.1135,ZE91.4728,SD123.235,--SIGN
FC,PN1437,FNSIGN
AT,TNTY,TVNO PARKING

The FC code sets up that attribute information will follow for the point number indicated by PN and the FN is basically explaining the name of the feature type. On the collector, this is all menu driven, making for few data entry errors.

The AT codes list the attributes name TN and then the TV reports its value.

Is there a way to preserve these attributes and their data when processing them into an FBK? Ideally, they would need to become part of a point description.

When processing this for that "other" CADD package, I am able to use these values in building labels for my survey points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating EG From Survey?

Mar 15, 2013

I was curious what the basic workflow is for creating an EG from a survey.  The catch is that we don't have a point file or elevated points on the drawing.  The drawing is just that a drawing with spot elevations and linework.  The lot is 100' long and 30' wide.  An existing house takes up most of the lot with a street on the front and back.  The idea is to try making a grading plan after I figure this first part out.  Where would I begin with something like this to figure out the next step of grading a small lot?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Add New Survey Network

Aug 18, 2009

I was following Civil 3D 2008 Education Curriculum Module 04-Survey on how to import field books, create points and figures, insert them into the drawing, and then (per page 04-35), remove the network from the drawing.

Now I have a serious problem, and cannot add any new Networks. The "Name" and "Description" appears, but there is no place for a cursor entry.

Do I have to re-install the program?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database Coordinates Off

Feb 23, 2012

i have a point file specifically a PNEZD file. when i import points into the survey database the coordinate in the database is correct but the coordinate on the drawing tends to be 5 feet off one way and 1 foot off the other. When I import point through the points pull-down menu the coordinates are correctly shown. When I import point into survey database from drawing the coordinate is incorrect in the database but correct on screen.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: All Survey Databases Are Locked

Apr 23, 2012

My company has upgraded to new computers recently (Windows 7, Civil 3d 2012).  Some of the new computers are unable to access ANY survey database for edit.  They can be opened read only, but the option of opening for edit isn't even available.  The old computers we have CAN open the same databases for edit.  We have attempted repairing/reinstalling, but to no avail.  All the new computers were cloned from 1 original.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Working With 2D Survey Drawing?

May 6, 2012

I'm exploring the option of going from normal autocad and PDS (for our road designs) to fully using Civil 3D 2013.

Generally we only recieve a survey drawing as a 2d cad file with height points represented as 2d text.

In PDS all we need do is 'convert text to point' and create a ground model, this gives us a 3d ground mesh to work with.

In Civil 3d i've found 'movetexttoelevation' but now i'm stuck with adding a point at the node of the text object, and then I need to creat a surface model to overlay a 2d siteplan andstart creating our roads.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rotating Survey Points

Jul 25, 2013

I had an issue where I dropped points into my drawing for a survey and they weren't at the distance compared to recorded plat. I have checked the points mathematically, and they were dead on. A coworker suggested that I WBLOCK the points I was working with that way I don't move single points out of place. I disagreed, because the way i move points is I use the TOOLSPACE and move them as a group. So what I did was to drop the points again and now they were dead on the second time. I don't like turning points into a block due to the fact that it messes up my drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Point Database

Mar 6, 2012

How are you or your company managing points as in field shots, storage, dulplicate point numbers?

are you using vault?
are you using the point database?
are you using one drawing file to import and store the points?

what we are doing now is using the point database as a storage location but it fails for notification on when a point # is duplicated.

surveys has a drawing file they use to import, store and build the existing ground surface from the points. this allows the notification of when a  point  number is duplicated. but it is not as secure or flexable as the old LDD way.

We don't use field books just text files from the collectors imported in. Vault is not an option for us. (at this time)

so what i am looking for is how others are adapting to this change, and what worked or not.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Delete Survey Database

Jan 19, 2010

I am running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010. I am a new user and just going through some tutorials and created a couple of survey databases for practice. The problem I am having is I can't figure out how to delete them. When I exit Civil 3D and restart it, those databases are still there under the survey tab in Toolspace even though I haven't even opened a drawing yet. Also, do I need MS Access installed on my workstation to run any functions within Civil 3D?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figure With Bad Elevations?

Jun 29, 2012

I have a survey figure that no matter what will not come in with the correct elevations, its a spline (continous) curve that the elevations get blow up on.

Only thing I can think of is the when it starts to interpolate the curve it cant get the elevations correct, this only happens in the curved area, once it goes tangent everything goes back to normal.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figures Not Associated To Database

Jul 18, 2012

I have a drawing that is about a month old with survey data and a surface in it. I went in to modify the surface and noticed a crossing breakline message that was never addressed. I attempt to do a grip edit on the survey figure that is crossing ,and update the database from drawing and I get a message saying the figure is in not in the database. I know I have the correct database, because if I select the figure in the prospector tab It highlights the one I'm working with. Somehow the objects in the drawing have lost association with the database.

Any solutions short of re-inserting all my figures from the database? I'm not going to do that in this case since the edit was small and is already done.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Expression In Structure Labels For Survey

Sep 6, 2013

I am trying to make a single point label style that will return a blank line in the label if no data is provided.
 
The way i have it coded now my label for a structure with only two inverts comes out looking like this:

STCB 500 Rim=300.00
12" CONC N IE=295.00
12" CONC S IE=296.00
IE=300.00
IE=300.00
 
I would like the number of lines returned to match the actual number of inverts in the structure and leave out the place holders.:

STCB 500 Rim=300.00
12" CONC N IE=295.00
12" CONC S IE=296.00
 
I can work around this by having a label style for each number of pipes, but i would also like this code to be inseted into a table style and in that case i don't know of any way to assign multiple styles to one table.
  
My current code looks like this:
RIM=<[Point Elevation(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[1 SIZE(CP)]> <[1 TYPE(CP)]> <[1 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[1 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[2 SIZE(CP)]> <[2 TYPE(CP)]> <[2 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[2 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[3 SIZE(CP)]> <[3 TYPE(CP)]> <[3 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[3 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[4 SIZE(CP)]> <[4 TYPE(CP)]> <[4 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[4 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
LADDER <[LADDER(CP)]>
 
The problem is that 1 INV-4 INV are being defined by an expression that reads like

{Point Elevation}-{1 MD}

so when no data is intered for my UDP "1 MD"  it returns the point elevation. I want an equation that says if rpoitn elevation -measure down=point elevation then no data is shown.
