AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Excess Soil Pile Grading
Apr 18, 2013We have a client who is looking to dispose of a large quantity of excess soil on a vacant property. We plan to hold the elevations near the northern property line, slope 2% in a southerly direction, then tie in at 3:1 slopes along the southern property line. What is the best method to determine where the break point between the 2% and the 3:1 tie grades would be?

Sep 17, 2013I have a known outer boundary for my depo for excess soil. I know how much (volume wise) is going in to the depo. I know that the slope is 1:2.
I do not know where the upper boundary (top of the depo) of the depo is. That's what I would like to find out.
I know that I can create a upper boundary with a feature line and then use the grading and volume tool in order to find out at what height the upper boundary is placed. But then the outer boundary is either too small or exceeds the known boundary.
What is the easiest way of finding out where the upper boundary is? I am thinking about drawing a feature line around the known boundary on top of the EG surface and then using stepped offset. Then I can check out the volume.
But is it possible to do this automatically instead of manually?

Sep 25, 2012I have run a volume between two surfaces, I need to further to break that new volume surface up to get volumes for each section. I know in microstation you can fence a volume surface and it will tell you the volume for that area. Is there a function in civil 3d that works like this. I know I can break it up manually and create new surfaces, I am looking for a time saving appoarch and trying to minimize file size.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Volume Calculation Of Dirt Excavation
Apr 14, 2013how to calc dirt quantities in Civil 3D. Not just on roads, but say you have a small mountain of dirt that needs to be hauled away, and the contractor asks if you can quickly tell him how much dirt is there. And subgrade quantities for pads. Things like that.
First off, I'd need to learn the correct terminology. Knowing what to call stuff can at least make you sound less stupid when you ask a question.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Stripping Calculation In Surfaces And Corridors
Aug 8, 2013I've recently started working with Civil2012/2013 (bit the bullet you might say).
I attended a course on civil about a year ago but it didn't cover all the bases.
My question: stripping calculation, is there a way fro civil to perform it automatically?
One way to calculate stripping (manually) is after i have all the tin volume surfaces, is to show the fill areas in the volume tables and then do the calculation myself.

Oct 27, 2011I was wondering how to plot various soil profiles on a 3D Model of a deep excavation site. I've plotted the exterior of the area, borehole to borehole, using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. The problem I'm facing is that when I start plotting the layers of the different soils, say from borehole 1 to borehole 2, it ends up protruding from the face of the distance from borehole 1 to borehole 2. I'm not sure of how to make sure the plot is on a fixed axis, like y-z axes, to ensure I have a reference point. How can I go about this?

Apr 11, 2013When I used earlier versions of Acad I used to be able to do a calculation within a command. Like if I wanted to offset something equally on each side of a mid-point I could start the offset command then for distance I could put in the distance I wanted/2 (ie if the total distance between the 2 lines needed to be 85.375 i I could do 87.357/2). Is there some setting that I am missing or is this something that has disappeared from Acad?

AutoCad :: Block Attribute Calculation
Oct 2, 2013I have a requirement to create a block with a few attributes, but the attributes require a bit of composition behind the scenes. Here's an abstract example.
I need a block that represents a computer's identity. Each computer has 2 references that need to result in attributes that I can extract. One attribute is a unique reference across the project, and the other attribute is a room reference, and many computers can be in the same room.
Here are some example references.
Computer A
Unique Reference: DF.SALES.01
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Computer B
Unique Reference: DF.SALES.02
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Computer C
Unique Reference: DF.SALES.03
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Computer D
Unique Reference: DF.ADMINISTRATION.01
Room Reference: DG.ADMINISTRATION.02
Computer E
Unique Reference: DF.ADMINISTRATION.02
Room Reference: DG.ADMINISTRATION.02
As you can see from the above, the 'common' part for a computer is the middle 'SALES' or 'ADMINISTRATION' part, which 'technically' only needs to be put in/typed in by the user once for each computer. I need to automate this process to reduce user input error, such that they only enter 'SALES' or 'ADMINISTRATION' once and don't end up creating the below, which would be invalid.
Computer F
Unique Reference: DF.RECEPTION.09
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Thus I imagine I need a third property/field/attribute to specify 'room', and then formulate the Unique Reference and Room References, using this 'room' part in the middle.
The end goal here is that I need to be able to extract the above two references for each 'computer/block' and get them into Excel, and I need to be able to modify the 3 properties (room, unique reference and room reference) quickly, ideally using something like EATTEDIT, which is how we have edited attributes in the past.
The use case above is abstracted, it's actually not for computers at all but I figured it would make more sense than complicating it with the actual application!
AutoCad :: How To Use Area Calculation Tool
Apr 29, 2013I don't use the area calculation tool that much. I was just working out a large area for concrete. I use TOOLS - INQUIRY - AREA. Thats all fine and it gives me the area, for instance, to keep it simple 4900 x 9000 = 44.10m² AutoCad displays it as 44100000. I know it's not a major problem, but is there anyway I can get it to display as 44.10 or at least lose all the zeros.

Dec 29, 2011In the attached report, safety factor is se to calculate from ultimate tensile stress (485 MPa), and it indicates 1.33 with stresses:
Von-Mises: 323 MPa..............SF = 1.5
1st principal: 303 MPa.............SF = 1.6
2nd principal: -181.2 MPa....... SF =2.67
So, how is inventor getting 1.33 ?
EDIT: if I set it to calculate from yield ( 260 MPa) it accurately reports SF = 260/323=0.8
