Seems like a bug on Autocad Civil 3D 2013. I followed all the tutorials to design a circular vertical curve on a profile and it just dont work. I put circular on settings, click on circular curve by PVI button, the software even ask the radius and it end up designing a parabolic curve.
View 2 RepliesI just created a profile by choosing my PVIs and linking them together with tangent curves. How do I add labels to show the vertical curve properties (K value, curve length, station of PVI, elevation of PVI...)? I'm guessing I have to edit the label style?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOn our road profiles, we have to show that low points and high points are adjusted to maintain a minimum of 0.6%. see attached screen shot. Currently, I am calculating the adjusted low point and editing the profile label. Since I can't figure out how to edit one label in a data band, I've been wiping out the old elevation and typing in the new elevation over it.
Is there a way to get C3D to do the calculation for me and populate the labels with the adjusted elevation?

I'm creating finished roadway profiles by setting the PVIs then going back and inserting vertical curves (Free Vertical Parabola, PVI Based). When I insert the vertical curve, it displays as 1-5 tangents depending on length (not a smooth parabola). I've changed the curve tessellation distance under the Edit Profile Style - Design tab, but it doesn't smooth it out. What am I missing here. I don't have this problem in other drawings and I'm using the same template/drawing settings.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a large scale industrial project with multiple road profiles and sections sheets. I find that when I plot my drawings manually by opening the drawing everything comes out fine. But when I publish the drawings manually or thru Sheet Set Manager, it shifts my vertical curve labels on my profiles down, which then conflicts with the profile linework (see attached image). Unfortunately manually plotting these drawings is not an option. Because of the amount of information in each drawing it takes 3-4 mins to open and we have 200+ drawings in a single set of drawings, which we have multiple sets of drawings for the project.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a road centerline profile and corridor and then created a profile of the two curb lines from the corridor. The road profile that I made has a vertical curve in it but the curb profiles do not show that information, just grade breaks every 25 feet based on the corridor sampling distance.
I would like to have the vertical curve information on the curb profiles.
I'm using 2004 and drawing a profile for a utility. I need a 25' radius for my vertical curve for this utility line. I'm wondering how people draw this radius if there is a vertical exaggeration in the profile. Horizontal scale is 1"=20' and Vertical scale is 1"=5'.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe association between design speed (V) and radius of circular curve (R),
As the R is positively related to V according to the equation (attached), then I expect that the C3D changes R value as the value of V is changed.
For example, on the attached screenshots, the R value of horizontal alignment is built based on a design speed of 100km/hr. Now if the speed is changed to 50km/hr, then why the value of R is not automatically changed to be compatible with the new speed?
I need to add the "r" value to the vertical curve labels in the profile (|G2-G1| / L).
Is there a way to add this property to the text component editor? I see a lot of different components listed, but no "r" value.
I am having a lot of problems with my vertical curve labels. I created a style that shows the length of the vertical curve, the k-value, the end and start elevations, and the elevation and station of the PVI, as shown. My problems are the fact that when I want to flip a label, they all flip (shown in the second picture). I also have noticed that there is only one drag point. Is this a setting that I unknowingly edited, or is it possible to flip labels individually?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn this moment I am trying to add to my profile line a PVI -which I know how to do it- with the capability of modify the criteria for the vertical curve. In this moment every time that I add a PVI the tangents do not have a vertical curve and if I open the Panorama Profile Grade View Window it does not allow me to change either the length or radius so their values in these cells are empty.
How is possible then to edit -create- the vertical curve for a PVI that was not created in the first shoot?
I have two different label styles set up under Profile > Label Styles > Major Station.
I would like to have one of these labels applied to tangents in my profile and a the other one to curves.
I have a profile view of a street surface which transitions from a 2.75% grade to -0.52%. I would like to add a vertical curve so I can add a label at the high point of the street. However when I create my vertical curve, the original PVI is still there and the surface uses the PVI's elevation rather than the vertical curve's.
How can I get the PVI to either go away or have the surface read the vertical curve below the PVI?
I want to draw a water pipe network and i wanted to be 1.6 meter under the ground level. How to mange this my pipe network is PE material. I try to copy the profile and offset to -1,6 but i want to use the option of create pipe network and produce it in the profile view but how can i make the network follow the ground level profile ????
I need to add vertical curve to the network or something similar? Can i divide the pipes in the profile view by adding the structures direct to profile view.
handle a PRVC label? Right now I have the PVC and PVT labels on top of each other. Is there a nice solutioon other than making a new label style?

I am having an issue with my label displaying in my profile after I create my plan and profile sheet set. The PVC, PVI and PVT all show up, but the labels are not displaying. I looked through the layers and they are all thawed.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have centreline alginement and have used the offset alginemnt command to get other alignments for other surfaces (need these as they have all different crossfalls). Now as o go along I reference the veritical profile of the new alignement (created via offset) to my previous surface. Each time i do this the vertical profile does not seem to match my original profile of the centreline alignment. Now as i have about 6 offsets and as i move along these error seems to grow even bigger. how this is avoidable or if this is output is unavoidable
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to force the Low Point or High Point in a vertical curve to a specific and precise station?
I can do it with grips, but it's imprecise. In the project I am currently working on, I have some leeway regarding the slopes into and out of the vertical curve, so I have some flexibility, but some of the LPs and HPs need to precise.

I can live with the far right and left vertical labels if I could turn the top elevation off.

the vertical grid is not showing up even though is turned on in view style! tried different things but nothing seems to work, and the horizontal grid doesn't clip to the profile even though i select the option! it goes way up until profile frame!

I did a grading, created surface with it and draw a profile view. Everything seems to be good, except with the vertical geometry band. I need to fix slope and length only at break point, means PI (blue line), but aligment has created more PI with each surface tringular line at intersection (us i note). Is there any why to specify PI only at a break points?
I can erase PI manually on static profile view mode, but i desire to do it in dynamic mode..., in case when conditions changes.
When making a profile the actual scale of the profile does not match the vertical text. The scale is 1"=40' hor and 1"=4' ver with a 10:1 exageration.
See sketch below
When I make profile sheets the vertical scale (text) if off by 4' (below). I checked all the settings and they appear to be correct. When I make a profile the scale is correctly shown.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow I have come to this question is through the process of trying to realistically show a hydrant in profile view. First off it it possible to create a completely vertical pipe in C3D? Also if you can, is it possible to show that in profile view? Basically, what I am trying to avoid is representing a fire hydrant pipe by creating some sort of custom cyclinder part in partbuilder. I have done this, but do not like the results.

Is there a way to get the vertical scale property of a profile view and not use COM?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI received a file from another office which had a split profile. The only issue that my project manager and I have with it is that the profile lines themselves run from station limit to station limit, and therefore the profile lines run through the vertical (elevation) numbers. Is there a way to adjust the vertical (elevation) grid marks to clean this up?
I've attached a picture of how it looks now.
I have tried all of the expressions below to add the the vertical curve elevation at the pvi to my curve crest & sag labels on my profile and all I get is ??? for the value. I am currently running Civil 3D 2012.
IF({Grade In}<{Grade Out}, ({PVI Elevation}+{Tangent Offset at PVI}), ({PVI Elevation}-{Tangent Offset at PVI}))
{PVI Elevation}+{Tangent Offset at PVI}
{PVI Elevation}-{Tangent Offset at PVI}
I'm using Civil 3d 2010, in profile curve details are coming worng, PVI station is OK but LOW PT station of curve is wrong, also in Civil 3d 2009 no any curve details are coming. I'm sending the secreen shot of profile.
