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?
View 1 RepliesIs 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”
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.

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.
The following code crashes with an exception at the point where I try to rename the extrusion feature:
CComPtr<ExtrudeDefinition> pExtrudeDef;
hRes = pListOfExtrusions->CreateExtrudeDefinition(pProfile,kCutOperation,&pExtrudeDef); pExtrudeDef->SetDistanceExtent(_variant_t(kHeight),kSymmetricExtentDirection);

Is it possible to rename an extrusion feature. If so what is the method to do it?
I have this attached file.
If I list one of the objects, it is defined as a block. I have repeatedly tried to explode this but to no avail.
My intention is to convert these AutoCAD "points" as points in Civil 3D to process them further. When I use Points>Convert AutoCAD points commands, it returns me a "invalid selection" message.
How do I explode these blocks and convert them to Civil 3D point objects?
2012 SP2. I get this very descriptive message while trying to create a point cloud: The following error occurred processing the point cloud data: An error ocurred in data processing.
I've previously created point clouds from the same data (ENZ comma delimited) without a problem. I believe this was done before applying SP2. Any problems creating point clouds since SP2?
I have imported surveydata into the survey database from FBK and processed linework. I do as many edits to my figures as I can by editing point codes and processing linework, then I fix the rest of the figures manually editing them and pushing the changes back to the survey database.
Once you have started manually editing figures you can no longer 'process linework' as you get double ups of figures you manually edited.
My issue is that I have made some adjustments to some of my control point coordinates after manually editing figures, so that all my survey points move. I try to update the survey figures so that they move with my points but Civil3D tells me that it cant update them because they were made by processing linework.
Is there anyway I can get my figures to match my points without reprocessing linework and then making all the manual edits again or exporting an FBK from the database, remove the figures and points from the dwg, reset the network and import the new FBK?
We should be able to update figures without processing linework, even if that was how the figures were originally made!

We use Trimble data collection software. We typically import a "rw5" file converted from the "job" file. We then convert the "rw5" file to a "fbk" file. The conversion process has some bugs in it..
We have found two problems (thus far!):
1) The backsite data, for a station set-up, gives back an error when we reduce the data into the survey network. It also tweaks the coordinates for the set-up point. We have fixed the error by noting this line of data in the "fbk" file.
2) When the field doubles angles (wrapping, turning, etc.) C3D use only the first angle turned and not the mean or averaged angle.
We have found that if Trimble Geomatics Office (TGO) is used in post-processing, the "fbk" file generated works on both counts. FYI, the Trimble ribbon does exactly the same thing as C3D when a "job" file is imported, i.e. does not work properly.
I am having trouble processing point code to correctly string the survey points. I have tried three methods of coding and each method has a draw back which isn't really acceptable to me, as it either means more work in the field or more work in the office.
Method 1: I code my points TOP 1 B, or TOE 2 or NS.
When doing this method the survey points don't string correctly. Because of the space delimitation inbetween TOP & 1 Civil3d only recognises the code TOB and doesn't pay attention to the string number. So all the points with the same code get stringed regardless of the string number. Please see file "TOP_1_B_CODE_STYLE.png" and you will see that TOP 1 E strings to point TOP 2 B.This will create a lot of work in the office breaking all the survey figures so they appear correct.
Method 2:I code my points TOP1 B, or TOE2 or NS. When doing this the points don't get coded correctly. Because the code is TOB when I import a point with the code TOB1 it doesn't recognise the code, and puts the point on the default layer 0. Please see file "TOP1_B_STYLE.png" and you will see all of the TOP1 and TOE1 are white and one layer 0. This will make a lot of office work changing points to the correct layers.
Method 3: I code my points without a string number, and only pickup one line at a time. So I would start picking up a toe of bank by TOE B then finish it on TOE E. See file "TOP_B_TOP_E.png" to see the result.
This does get the result I want but it really makes field work procedures slow. It would be very frustrating doing a detail survey of a road and having to walk each individual breakline.
I want to be able to use Method 1 but to have all points get stringed correctly. I have read a pretty good post about this here where the outcome is that all points should be put on layer 0 by default (I can't find it again though!). For me though that isn't a very good option as I often have both design and asbuilt in the same drawing, and need to be able to turn off groups and not have the associated points left on my screen.
How do I specify the code set to be used on subassemblies when creating an intersection? I want to specify this in a command setting so that the intersection is built correctly without me having to edit feature lines in the corridor properties for th intersection.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSome what new to Civil 3D, so I hope I explain this correctly..
I imported points with linework and then needed to move them slightly. I unlocked the points and moved them with no problems, but I then went to re-process linework which moves the points back to their original location. I have tried relocking the points first before re-processing linework, but then it appears that nothing has happened.
My sections are showing a label for some of my links that are coded as "top". My label style for the "top" link is set to none and some of the labels are still displayed.
The labels show in the sections, but not the assembly. We are running Civil 3D 2012.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI make a code set style by doubling the "all codes" style. Then make styles of links points and shapes in which i turn off the visibility in model. I also leave the render materials in links.

Every time I go into Section Editor while working on my corridor I have to reset my Code Set Style Selection. Its not even like I am exiting and re entering the drawing, just the Section Editor. Is there a specific place C3D looks for that style when you enter the editor?

Is it possible to redefine a subassembly's Code? For example, the built-in "Primary Road Fill Section" assembly's Curb and Gutter subassembly uses Pave1 and SubBase for the Shape Codes; however, most curb is PCC on top of AB not subbase. Since the hatch SubBase is defined in the style and applied to the entire Assembly, it makes it so the curb and gutter is built on Subbase not AB along with the roadway's AC & AB. How can I change the curb's code to be Pave1 on top of Base? Do I have to use MSVB?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am building a new template for our office and just finished building my Description Key Code Set, and Figure Prefix Database. I stopped to do a quick trial run on one of our surveying files, but when I imported the file all of the figure lines imported correctly but the points all came in the default point style and label style. I went to the Settings Tab/Points/Commands and made sure my "Disable Description Keys" was set to False. This is not my first template and I have never had this issue before.

In a description key code file, I would assume that a description key code of simply * would capture all points, but it seems this code gets ignored. How do we create a key code that captures all points?
For example, if I want to take advantage of the hierarchical processing of DKC files to assign layers, point styles, label styles, etc, I can theoretically create a 'design' DKC file that makes all points, regardless of their desciptions, to be sized relatively, and then move that DKC file to the top of the DKC file list.
I know this can be accomplished through the "_all points" point group, but I want to be able to control point layers as well, and as far as I know, neither point groups, point styles, nor label styles affect the insertion layer of a point, but DKC files do.

I've been having the issue with code set style and making the section view to look the way I want. I created a new code set style and it shows perfectly the way I want in the assembly. When I create the section views, I specify the sections to have the same code set style, but for some reason, it shows up in a different color.
I provided an example showing the fence line as an assembly and in section view. For "mysterious" reasons, the color is different in the section view than in the assembly. And I've checked many time in the section view properties and assembly properties to make sure that both are displaying the same code set style.
Why am I getting images like these two when I tried to render and visualise my corridor through the Code Set Style?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have a bunch of pipes we surveyed in the field, the linework code we were using was p01 B 10"
the "B" being "begin"
my description key set is set up as follows:
p## = Code
and
Ex Pipe $1= format
the trouble is, this works nicely for all of the inbetween shots, but for shots containing "B" and "E" it uses the B for the $1 instead of the desired 10" pipe size. How do I prevent this from happening?
We were origially using the code B p01 10" but the description keys were geting hung up on the B and not sorting the point to the desired layer.
what is the best method for coding in the field? and how do I get the 10" to show up in the label instead of the B and E
Can I use the description key set to not show point parameters with particular characters?I use the Linework Code Set codes to control survey figures and so the linework codes show up in the Raw descriptions. That's great for editing survey data.
But when the survey is passed on to the designers I want to show a full description that does not show the linework codes.For example when surveying a road culvert I will code the first point,
"CULV B 32 600" - (CULV is the code for culvert, B is to begin the figure, 32 is the culvert number and 600 is the diameter)
The second point is coded, "CULV 32 600"I want to show full descriptions of "CULV 32 600" for both points, ie I don't want a parameter that is a "B" to show up.Can I use the description key set to not show point parameters with particular characters?
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?
