AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Chord Bearing Chord Length And Tangent To Alignment Table With Curve Data

Apr 12, 2012

How can you add the chord bearing, chord length, and tangent to an alignment table with the curve data in it?  I have the length and direction but cannot figure out why the others will not load and update in the chart.  I am using Autocad Civil 3D 2012

AutoCAD 2013 :: Is There A Chord Placement Option

Oct 18, 2012

The above image is the closest description of what I mean by a "chord" setting.  I need to be able to place lines with a specific length and orientation at a certian radius from two nonparallell curved lines. I've been finding it extremely difficult.

The blue lines are the property lines and the circles are the setbacks (hypothetically). To simplify the problem I offset the blue lines by the setback like so. which brigs me to the original problem. I need to place the building at the optimal point. So far, I have only been able to  get close and I know/think there should be a better method to solve my problem. In the example I provided, I knew exactly where the building should be placed because the offsets were the last thing I drew.  How can I get this result if my drawing is composed of fully drawn but nonaligned components?

Revit :: Change Pitch Of Top Chord By Increasing Ridge Height

Sep 3, 2013

I'm building a PEMB frame family partly to teach myself and because none of the ones I could find online match the ones I'm working with.  It's been a bumpy road but I've gotten the family to the point where there are parameters and elements for the flange, web, baseplate & girts.
 
Where I've run into a problem are the bracing flanges.  The flange at the top of the column was simple enough since it's always horizontal but the beam braces are all 90 deg to the top chord.  Any refrence plane or reference line drawn from the intersection of the bottom & column chords to the top chord does not move with the other chords when the family types are changed.  I applied a 90 deg angular dimension constraint between the top chord and the bracing flange but when I change the pitch of the top chord by increasing the Ridge Height Revit gives me a warning message that the constraint is no longer satisfied instead of rotating the flange!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Property Field Editor For Alignment Curve Table

Dec 29, 2013

I want to create a Curve table for an alignment.

You are able you get range of properties, i.e length, chord length, start/end chainages, mid-ordinate.

I've notice lets for arguement sake 'chord length' text component editor is: <[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]> but is it possible to modify the code so i can insert half a chord length.

Ive tried

<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>/2        ---- doesn't work

<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]/2>        ---- doesn't work

<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)/2]>        ---- doesn't work

<[1/2*Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>     ---- doesn't work

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Table - Setting Out Data - Stake / Station Value

I need to produce a better standard table for our company, but need to know how it would be possible to display only either the START STAKE VALUE/ STATION or END STAKE VALUE/STATION in the appropriate column. If I can achieve this i would not need to details for straight segments as indicated in the details column.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Table With Alignment Station Data Field?

Jun 1, 2010

I have been provided with Surveyed Utility Locates along an Existing Roadway. These are provided to show conflicts between the New Storm Sewer System and Existing Utilities such as Water, Sewer, Gas, Elec, etc. The survey however is incomplete as it was prepared a few years ago and the Storm Sewer has just been designed. Yes, I can create points and provide them to the County Surveying department. However, before this is done, I must provide an easily-understood format of the new survey locations to the County Project Management.

To provide a Point Table which references the Surveyed Points' location in reference to the roadway stationing (Alignment). I have attached what the point table is to look like.

I am unable to find the desired data reference in the currently provided data field selection. Am I just missing it or is this a "Wish List" item?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Get Tangent Or Radial Bearing To Show Up In Legal Description Writer?

Mar 18, 2013

How to get a tangent bearing or radial bearing to show up in the legal description writer?  All I can get are their opposites.  Is there some code that I can add that will swap their direction (say NE for a SW)? 

The convention out here (OR/WA) is to show a radial bearing (from the PC to the radius point) or a tangent bearing (into the beginning of a curve) for any non-tangent curves.  So far, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this automatically. 

Also, any good guide or list of variables for using the Parcel Reporting for legal descriptions in c3d?  I really want to know what ALL the different pieces of data are that I can use in the legal writer, and how to manipulate them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Bearing / Distance Table Using Points?

Feb 25, 2013

I am using Civil 3D 2012.  I know how to label a line with bearing and distance.  What I would like to do is make a table with these bearings and distances referencing the point numbers.  For instance, I have a new ROW line that starts at point 1000 and changes direction at point 1001 and changes direction at 1002 and so on.  I need a table that shows Points 1000-1001 is ___ Bearing and ___ Distance.  

The lines are not parcel lines; they are only line segments.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rearrange Alignment Tangent And Curves

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Reference Alignment Stationing Differs From Original Alignment

May 3, 2012

I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.

Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.

I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Prevent 3D Faces Objects When Exploding An Alignment Tangent Label

Nov 8, 2013

I received a drawing where I have to add Bearings to an alignment and Right-of-Way lines. I have a Line Label Style that it works for that purpose. These new bearings are "Alignment Tangent Labels" and we need them to be "MTexts"

Select & explode once, and you get "Block Reference"

Select & explode again, and you get "MText"

Once that is done, unfortunatly, I get "3D Faces" objects in the background. Invisible on the drawing, but visible on paper once we plot them. The only way to remove them is by selecting around the new MText until I click on one, then, right-click, Select simnilar, Delete!

Is there any way to prevent that to speed up the process???

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridors Surfaces And Intersections - Move Each Curve And Tangent Separately

Mar 16, 2012

Heres the issue;

I created my main corridor which is a 4 lane arterial with ditching on both sides targeted to my prelim surface. On my main corridor i have several intersections and approaches which i created intersections for and set the targets so they are correct, i also created secondary roads for all intersections. Now that it is visually correct there is a few things i would like to do.

1) Combine all intersections to my main corridor and create surface for adjusted volumes.
2) Raise combined corridor and intersections to adjust cuts / fills so that all attached intersection and adjacent corridors adjust with the main corridor.

Do i have to go to my main corridor profile and move each curve and tangent separately, then check all other profiles and intersection to insure everything has been adjusted?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding A Curve To Existing Alignment

Jan 4, 2009

I have an existing alignment issued to me which has been created using all straight lines even where there should be curves. I am trying to insert curves in these areas. Using free curves (2 entities and a through point) I create a curve then somethings happen I can't work out -

1. The curve is created but the original straight linework stays. I would have thought the original linework would automatically delete. See attached pdf between points 60 and 62 the curve and straights can be seen.
2. Then all stations after the curve are changed to the question mark symbol. If i click on the alignment all the grips are still there for the full length of the alignment, indicating the alignment is still in one piece.
3. If I try to create another curve further along the alignment it won't allow it. Stating on the command line "Selected entity must be part of the main entity."

I'm using C3D 2009.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Alignment From Object Results In Wrong Length?

Sep 17, 2013

I am working on creating an alignment from a single polyline. The polyline, which was originally created in Carlson 2012, is a flat polyline that is about 1200 feet in length. When I select it with create alignment from object, it accepts it and seems to work. For some reason though, the stationing is way off  --- e.g. the true 50' mark is showing up as 0+04.17 which results in an end station of 0+99.31 on a 1191' polyline.

edit> I also have tried this with a brand new polyline I created in civil3d, same issue.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sort Curves By Parcel Number And Curve Length

Oct 17, 2013

How to sort curve table data by parcel and then curve length?  Out here in Oregon, one of the standard ways of defining a curve table is to show the length of curve and have each curve in the parcel grouped together. 

I have not figured out a way to do this in C3D.  At one point, Sinc had started working on the issue for us, but I don't think he ever got anywhere with it (or at least it didn't get into his add on.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Line / Curve LTscale Won't Change

Oct 7, 2012

I am setting up a template for my company and have noticed that I can't change the line/curve/spiral LTscale:

I have chosen a layer with the CENTER linetype for my line/curve/spiral in the style editor. The Alignment appears correctly with the CENTER linetype. However I want to make the dashes a bit bigger, so I change the LTscale in the style editor to 4, but then nothing changes.

When I change the same setting for the "line_extensions" element to the same layer, these WILL update when changing the LTscale.

All my LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE, MSLTSCALE are set to 1. 

All other lines, such as polylines and featurelines, as well as the line extension lines of the alignment update correctly. Its just the alignment line.curve/spiral elements that do not.......

Are these locked somewhere?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Double Alignment Labels In Table

I'm trying to add an alignment table, but the curves seem to be labelled twice.  When I first labelled the alignment, the curves were C???, so I tried again.  After a lot of messing around, I finally got C1, C2, etc., but the table lists C1 & then C?.  I've thawed & turned on all the layers, but there aren't any C??? labels on the alignment.  Another alignment in the same drawing worked fine.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: More Vertices On Curve For Dynamic Alignment Feature Line

Apr 2, 2013

Windows 7, 64 bit, Civil 3D 2010

I'm trying to create a surface using feature lines.  I have an alignment and profile that I have created a dynamic feature line.  However, on a horizontal curve, it apparently creates a vertex at the start and beginning of the curve, and nothing on the curve, so it triangulates between those two points and that's it.

Do I need to play with spiral tessellation (0.25), mid-ordinate distance (0.1) to get some points along the curve?
