AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Takeoff Surface Area Of Daylight Slopes

Feb 28, 2012

What approaches are available in civil 3D to takeoff the surface area of daylight slopes?Which do you recommend for given scenarios?

I tried compute materials but the volume report for cut and fill area is zero - so either I missed something or the compute materials for surface area does not work yet. Then, I tried the QTO manager and linked the corridor codes slope_link and daylight_fill to payitems. Slope_link has a QTO of 1,458,099M2 and daylight_fill has 913.39M2; I have more confidence in the daylight_fill takeoff.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Slopes In Small Area

Aug 2, 2013

I have a large ex surface that I have divided into basins and such. I know need to evaluate the slopes in these areas. To do the whole surface at once seems to not be possible. Is there a way in c3d to view analysis information for a section of surface for instance in a polyline or fence?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Slopes On Grid

Nov 20, 2013

I was wondering if it's possible to add surface slopes on grid (similar to how there is a tool for adding spot elevations on grid). I can do them individually at a grid spacing but that's tedious, and considering you can add spot elevations on a grid, I'm not sure why this wouldn't be possible. 

If there isn't a built-in tool for this, would it be possible to make a block of a bunch of one-point spot slopes and you simply choose which surface & the insertion point when you insert the block?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor / Surface Style To Display Slopes

Jun 6, 2013

I am looking for either a corridor style or surface style to display slopes while in plan view while working on a corridor. I know you can turn on slope arrows as a surface style, but I am actually looking for the grade to be displayed next to a slope arrow. Hopefully I am explaining it properly.

I just am looking for a better way to spot errors before putting surfaces into machine control without checking station by station in the section editor.

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 :: Create A Label For Slopes In Cross Sections For Surface

Apr 30, 2012

I am trying to create a label for slopes in cross sections for a surface created from breaklines using gade breaks as you can not weed segment labels

I am weeding the labels out based on the change in grade of the section profile and making the label text high very small of the labels I do not want to see. But the first label returns ??? because there  is no grade coming in so I get ??? instead of something usefull like null. Any way to convert?? to something you can evaluate and use.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Daylight To Surface Max Slope?

Apr 18, 2012

I'm modeling a simple corridor (12' lane 2%, 6' shoulder 6%, 4:1 to match EG).  I used the "LinkSlopeToSurface" subassembly for the 4:1 to match the EG.   Unfortunately our EG isn't always wide enough for the 4:1 slope to match it somewhere.

Is there an assembly that would use 4:1 as a standard daylight slope, but where necessary adjust the slope, max. 3.5:1, to match EG surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Daylight Subassembly In Order To Grade Surface?

Oct 1, 2013

I'm building up my assembly and I want to add a daylight sub-assembly in order to grade my proposed surface to the existing surface. Typically I would have a 1:3 slope up or down. I have choosen the DaylightGeneral for this and although there is quite a few parameters to play with, I'm only interested in the up/down slope but when I put anything sleeper than 1:4 it doesn't work, I get this red line and circle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Section Editor Not Displaying Daylight Lines To EG Surface

Jul 13, 2012

I'm having a random issue with the daylight ties lopes not tieing to the EG surface at all stations in the Corridor Section Editor. Some stations daylight fine. In plan view the daylight lines vary left & right as expected but don't display at all in Section Editor.
 
Some background info:2012 Civil 3D SP1 / 64 bit / WIN7Simple corridor used1 alignmentSame fg profileSame drefd EG surface (set all targets for daylight LT/RT)Only one assembly applied to entire corridor Attached are 2 captions of the issue I'm having which each have a cut & fill occurrence as well as a caption of the entire align. & corridor. I did try deleting corridor & recreating and even recreated a simpler assembly and still have the daylight issue in same areas of corridor.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Bounded Surface Area

Nov 24, 2013

I am trying to get C3D to report the surface area for a bounded area with no success.  I am aware of the Bounded Volume feature, which BTW appears to be retired in the 2014 release (AECCCFDBADDBOUNDEDVOLUME fails to produce any results). Obviously there have been some major changes.

What I want to do is retrieve a report for a defined section of a surface, regardless, of what type of surface it is.  I see this as simple as deriving the 3D areas of the trinangles within a bounds of a TIN.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Depth Area

Nov 15, 2013

For a surface: I would like to a boundary above a inlet point that is 3" deep.

I would like something like catchment area but the ability to specify a depth distance. Or specify a depth in the water shed analysis in the surface properties.

The only way I know to do what I want is user defined contours for each elevation. Is there a better way to do get a specific shed area for a depth?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Quantity Takeoff Calibration Variances

Mar 8, 2012

For a highway project rail overpass there are 30' curved retaining walls - the height changes continuously and the footing and wall thickness steps according to the CalTrans Type-1 wall stepping standard. So the subassembly is a custom object. I'd like to query the C3D community knowledge for the QTO accuracy - and find an answer to these two questions.
 
The retaining wall area QTO by corridor payitem code is 3,000 m2 and by volume report (sample line) is 5,500 m2; why is there a difference?The volume given by volume report (6,300 m3) is 40% more then the volume found by CalTrans and the contractor with a 2D digitizer QTO (4,000 m3) - who is correct C3D or CalTrans?

I am working on the QTO right now and I'd like to move to the schedule this week.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate AREA Of Cut And Fill Between Alignment And Surface Profile?

Aug 18, 2013

How to calculate the AREA of cut and fill analogous to the volume of cut and fill between surfaces, but instead only between the alignment and the road profile in the prolfile view. From what I've read of similar posts a few people have had the same question but have been instructed how to do it with volumes as opposed to area. Also how to insert a table of cut and fill area analogous to the one you can inset from the volumes dashboard.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slopes And Angles In Profiles

Aug 31, 2012

I am using Civil 3D 2012. I am drawing a water line in a profile with a vertical scale of 1" = 10'. I am trying to draw lines at 45 deg angles to account for standard fittings.

Now, I tried to block a 45 deg angle and exaggerate the y scale, but for some reason this does not work well mathematically. Is there a way to draw lies at a certain slope, or at a certain angle from another line, while taking into consideration the scale exaggeration?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Different Slopes To Create Pond?

Apr 7, 2013

I have a surface and i have the outer border of a pond i want to create (see attachments). What makes it difficult for me is that different areas of the pond have different slopes. The area marked as "A" has a slope of 1:5, the are has a slope of 1:2 and the rest of the pond has a slope of 1:1.

My problem: I do not know how to grade the borderline so i end up having a surface with different slopes as my pond.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Topographical Survey That Show Different Gradients / Slopes

Feb 26, 2013

I am new to Civil3D And I am using it for one purpose, Im working at producing planning drawings for solar farms, and the client has asked to me produce topographical surveys highlighting where the gradient or the slope is greater than 15 degrees. Is there someway i can use Civil 3d to do this?

Ideally im looking at producing a 3D Model which has shaded areas for the areas which are above 15 degrees. And Hopefully another shaded for areas between 15 and 10 degrees, 10 and 5 and 5 and 0

The topographical surveys i am downloading at the moment are from a site called promap and are DSM Type?
