AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Way To Transfer 3D Designs To Inroads?
May 10, 2013
i know the traditional way of doing this is just export to autocad then open with inroads and do grading stuff again.are there any easier ways? i think it's no but boss wants to get a confirmation on the internet.like grading objects to inroad grading and corridor to inroads corridor.
You have the main alignment and you have to design an out-lane alignment. Standards describes the wedge and parallel lane lengths, depending on speed, road type and grades.By last you have to perform a "connection" between main and out alignments, basically an interpolation.So you have 3 areas/tasks to do:
1.- Wedge and parallel definition
2.- Locate the area in which main alignment and out alignment are pseudo parallel. This area is located between the intersection of lanes widths and the point defined by intersection of shoulders.
3.- The area between this last point and a singular point (defined by standards) in which we can consider the alignments are fully independent.
4.- The area between point 2 and the point in which vertical profile and superelevation are independent for out alignment.
You have to define a lot of things, profile, superelevation, transitions, etc..As far as I have seen, there is not any tool to do all of this.
How can I transfer (download) measured data from total stations 'Trimble' and "Leica" to AutoCAd Civil 3D 2013? Must I find a module from the sites of these manufacturers? Or how can I change from total stations formats to the Feald Book format?
I have been working on a template (.DWT) for Civil3D 2012. I decided to continue my work recently with a newer vesion C3d 2013, and to my shock there seems to be no way at all to transfer my newer settings (I.E.: default layering, default data bands, newer CODECS, etc to the C3d 2012 version. This is about a week's worth of work that I will have to replicate manually to C3d 2012. I cannot believe that the 2 versions are this completely incompatable.
I Created a Surface Profile along my existing survey alignment (Alignment 1). I copied that to a layout profile. I need to transfer that profile to an alignment I drew approximately 8 ft to the right (with less verticies - Alignment 2).
I created an offset alignment of Alignment 2 - Left 8 ft. I Created a Surface Profile from the 8 ft offset. Using that surface profile along Alignment 2 might be good enough, but I'd prefer to use the surface profile created from Alignment 1 because it represents my high point. I am creating a construction grade x-sec assembly that will run along (or 3-6 inches higher than the existing Centerline). But I want to hold Alignment 2.
I think what I need to do is to be able to hold Alignment 2, but use the Profile generated from Alignment 1 in my Corridor.
Our company has recently purchased civil 3d and im in the process of learning it. I was wondering if there is a way to transfer the normal autocad customization file over to civil 3d and if works. I re-did my hot keys and they dont work either.
I was thinking of having a 2d workspace and a 3d workspace as well.
i need to guide for using sanding total station for exchange data now my question is that do there is any way in civil 3d survey menu that i can use sanding total station for exchange data?
My supervisor needs to view the autodesk inventor designs (I create) in his PC without installing the whole inventor package. Its something like using eDrawings to view designs created with solidworks.
Ok, so I understand how to take my Inventor designs and make them into a .adsk file for use as BiM info. Without having revit how in the world am I supposed to check what I'm sending out to my clients? It goes against everything I've ever learned to just make a file and send it out blindly without checking it.
Is this really how Autodesk thinks this process should work?
any web design templates theyd like coded and turned into sites for free, Im trying to really learn html/css and would love some nice new designs to work with, its all for free just an opportunity for me to learn more about coding etc.
So last night I created some designs using the symbols provided in Illustrator. And when I opened the file this morning to continue working on it, all my designs were gone instead I was left with just a blank canvas. Is there is a chance of getting back my designs?
how to make beautiful floral designs. Whenever i try to design it takes hours to design it even when i am tracing from old ones. Especially these spiral designs. what are the calculations for designing these beautiful floral designs quickly?
I have attatched an image of what I am trying to accomplish. It's a small image which is repeated horizontally to create a footer. I want to know how to create these small designs.
Basically, how are these kinds of sites made? I mean the detail and the overall layout and design looks amazingly painstaking. I can design websites fairly well (or so i think :| ) but nothing close to the amount of detail seen on that site. Are websites like these made by hand from scratch? Photoshop perhaps? A 3D app? or what?
how can i export my xara t shirt designs so that they can be imported into coreldraw, converted to outlines and mirrored so that the vinyl cutter can cut them?
i have been using xara as my main graphics tool for years, and i enjoy it. however, the person who's cutter i use only knows coreldraw as that is what is preferred with the Roland gx-24 vinyl cutters. i dont want to have to learn coreldraw.
i have loaded my designs as gifs, jpegs and bmps into corel, but even after using the 'trace' feature on corel, all the lines are not perfect like they are in xara. the cutter cuts the lines in a jagged way, and the curves are not smooth. save my xara designs as .cmx or .svg. i did that and tried importing into corel and i got an 'I/O Error', so that didnt work.
the only way i can get the straight cut lines is if i load my fonts into corel, and re-create my design in corel, which i just dont have the time for.
I am trying to create a Bar Graph on illustrator with certain designs. For Score A, I click the Score A bars and head to Graphs > Columns to change the bars to 'Repeating' design with my spider-man picture.
As you can see my Score A COMPLETELY disappears. why Illustrator just wont let me change the red bars to my design?
I'm a designer for a clothing company and every time I make a design I have to then put that design onto lots of different blank product templates (t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts etc) and every colour for every product (pink, blue, red green etc) manually. This can be very time consuming. Is there a way in Photoshop I can get it to automatically add, resize and place the design onto everey product template in every colour in the correct position in Photoshop and automatically save it to a certain location.
I have tried a number of different methods however I cannot seem to get rid of this problem. Every time I put together banners or any graphics/designs for that matter, whenever I save them and then display them I always end up with a slight blur. I am trying to get a really crisp finish but can never seem to get it right, please see attached photos .
I'm having a hard time exporting my designs to jpeg files. I use the export command, but after I hit ok, it doesn't save? I used Google chrome on windows 7 ultimate platform, with 8 gigs of ram with 500 mb of hard drive space.
I have an original copy of Corel Xara that I purchased many years ago.
On the disc is a huge amount of clip art and other items, I tried to incorporate these into the Designs Gallery but whilst I could get the graphics to work I could not get the images to show in the drop downs against the icons in the designs gallery. I just got a grey blank panel with the graphic name. This means that I still have to search through the manual to find a specific graphic.
Fortunately I also have the 500'ish page manual (approx 100 per page) for the clip art/symbols/fonts/etc..etc.
I may not use many of the graphics but it would be good to be able to install selected images with the pictures.
I used Photoshop Elements 4 for many years and upgraded to 10 about a year ago; I recently downloaded Photoshop CS6 for the trial period. In my projects I regularly use the ready-made frame and border designs that are available in the “content” section of PSE. I thought that a more extensive program like CS6 would offer a larger variety of ready-made frames, but I have been unable to find any at all. (PC, Win7 OS, PS CS6 vers. 13.0 x64)
