AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Reference Label Expression?

Jul 3, 2013

I am trying to create a label for fire hydrants in plan view that shows the flange elevation. I want the elevation to be 0.4' above the adjacent road profile. I added a reference text component to my label style that shows the profile elevation. Where would I find the expression for the profile elevation reference text?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile / Alignment Label Expression

Nov 26, 2012

Here is my expression:

IF((FMOD({Raw Station}+5,15))!=0,-1,({Profile Elevation}-100*FLOOR({Profile Elevation}/100)))

I have also tried it without a pair of brackets:

IF((FMOD({Raw Station}+5,15))!=0,-1,{Profile Elevation}-100*FLOOR({Profile Elevation}/100))

and I have tried it using {Station Value} instead of {Raw Station}

Here's what it's meant to do (because it's a long one):

If the station value + 5 is not divisible by 15, return -1
If the station value + 5 is divisible by 15, return the profile elevation, 
if the profile elevation is in the 100 range, subtract 100
if the profile elevation is in the 200 range, subtract 200...etc 

Here is my conundrum: If I use the expression in a profile label, it works fine.  But if I use it in an alignment label as reference text, it returns -1 for every value.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Expression Gives Invalid Input?

Jan 15, 2013

I'm trying to use an expression for text height and everytime I enter the name of the expression I get "Invalid Input".   Is there a trick to doing this?

I even changed a style that "HAD" allowed me to use an expression, to a number then tried to reenter the same expression name that was there and get "Invalid Input".

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Note Label With Expression

Jul 22, 2013

I was wondering  if it is possible to use an expression in a general note label? The type of label I am using is a general note label that displays our finish grade profile elevation in plan view. What I am trying to do is add a value to that label for the TC elevation and G at the ROW. I noticed in the settings tab of the tool space, surfaces has an expression button that has what I want but I am not seeing that under General/Label Styels/Note. Is it possible to right my own expression? We are using Civil 3D 2008 with Windows XP.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Label Style Expression?

Dec 12, 2012

I am looking for a Line Label Style Expression which will perform a rounding function on distance labels that display my "General Segment Length" value.

What I need is to be able to remove "Trailing Zeros" from my distance values, so that if precision is set to say 0.01 and my distance value is measured as 45.5, I do not get 45.50 but 45.5.

I need this to round for:

1 decimal place

2 decimal places and

3 decimal places

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can Combine Expression Variables From Different Label Types

Nov 19, 2013

When I open the expression variables available in a label style, I see different options available for different label styles.Can I combine expression variables from different label types?  For example, say I want to make an expression that takes the Surface Elevation from a spot elevation label and subtract a variable from a pipe variable such as end invert elevation?

If you can do this, were can I find the expressions file on my computer or network?  Can they just be dragged and dropped between label styles?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Label Expression - Circular Versus Rectangular

Dec 13, 2013

I'm trying to create a custom expression in a structure table that will list the "size" of the structure, wheter it be a circular or rectangular structure.  My column simply states size and I want it to label 5' for a circular or 4'x4' for a rectangular (or whatever the specific sizes are).  The thought was to create an IF function, but Structure Shape was not available to use in expressions (among other problems).  Short of using the description field (tedious) as a workaround?

In this example - CB-104 is a rectangular structure and CB-106 is a circular.  I'd like the CB-104 size to read 4'x4'.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Select A Profile Used In Expression

Mar 15, 2012

One of the main things I do is label elevations from an alignment and a profile, in plan view.

I have a style that does this, and it gets to the point where it asks to pick the profile.

If the profiles are data ref's, i can pick from a list, but if the alignment is xreffed, you must do a graphical pick.

This is super inconvenient, as my profile views are in a different base than my alignments, and they are way off to the side.

So I must xref the profile base in, and split my viws so I can pick them without excessive zooming.

Did Autodesk neglect the fact that if they make objects available via xref, they also need to make child objects available?

If I choose to use a dref as the data source, I must make a dref to the alignment and each profile I want available.

Three steps per street at a minimum.

This is also super inconvenient.

I'm struggling to find a decent workflow on this. Both approaches seem painful.

I had always thought the xreffed objects would provide the profiles, and only found they do not just now [URL]...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Middle Ordinate Expression

Apr 9, 2012

I'm trying to build an expression to display the Middle Ordinate for profile curves. I don't usually do this but it's required for this project.

The first thought was to subtract the PVI elevation from the profile elevation. The PVI elevation is easy but I don't see an easy way to get the profile elevation. I can go through the whole formula for calculating the grade. But that will probably take some debugging.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Changing Profile Line Label Style Causes Label String To Revert To Default

Sep 6, 2012

C3D 2013. We have profile line labels, some of which get manually edited (for example, change the "<[Tangent grade(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|SD|OF)]>" to a static number such as 0.29%).

However, if you CTRL+Click and select one of these labels and change the style of that one label, then the manual edits are lost and the label reverts back to the default string.

Is there any way to turn this behavior off?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Geometry Points Of Superimposed Profile To Alignment Label

Mar 1, 2013

I have an alignment label that I normally use to show the PVI's of a profile in the plan view.

This is a little unusual, but in a specific case I wanted to design my profile at one alignment, but show it at another.  I designed my swale profile in the pathway profile view and then superimposed the swale profile on the swale profile view.  I then went back to the swale alignment to add these labels.

It's a no-go AFAICT.  The only profile available for me to select for these labels is the original ground profile from the surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Base Structure Profile Label Location On Top Of Profile View

Nov 4, 2013

I'm working with a structure profile label style and it seems like the only way to anchor the position of the label is based on offsets from the structure itself... Any way to position the label based on the top of the profile view, so that I could make all of my labels horizontally aligned above the profile view?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Label - Equations?

Nov 14, 2011

I am using Civil 3D 2009 version 4.

I have designed a railroad yard that the construction plans require all grading to be to centerline of rail (0.5 feet under the ties) and my profiles are required to be to the top of rail (1.3 feet above the centerline elevation). Since I already have the grading surface done I was hoping there was a way to target my grading surface and add the 1.3 feet to the elevation in the label. Is that passable?

Using the stock 'Elevations and Stations' style I targeted the existing ground for profile 1 and the finished ground for profile 2. Then I tried using the language you enter at the command line to do math in the label (+ 1.3 <[Profile2 Elevation(Uft|P2|RN|AP|Sn|OF)]>) but that only generated a label that read "(+ 1.3 242.00)" instead of the "243.30" that I need for the loading area, for example.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Elevation In Alignment Label

Sep 25, 2012

I need to know how to display a proposed profile elevation in the major station alignment label, I mean, for example, I want to read in the label "0+000, 494.444". I've already edited my major station label style adding a (profile type) Reference text, and it only displays "?". I suppose I need to associate it with the correct profile, but I've not figured out how to. I show you how the label looks in the attached image.
