AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Daylight Subassembly In Order To Grade Surface?

Oct 1, 2013

I'm building up my assembly and I want to add a daylight sub-assembly in order to grade my proposed surface to the existing surface. Typically I would have a 1:3 slope up or down. I have choosen the DaylightGeneral for this and although there is quite a few parameters to play with, I'm only interested in the up/down slope but when I put anything sleeper than 1:4 it doesn't work, I get this red line and circle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cannot Mirror Daylight Subassembly

Apr 26, 2012

Why I can't mirror the Daylight Inside ROW Subassembly? For some reason I can only place it on the right side of my assembly and in the subassembly properties there is no option to flip it to the left. In the Modify Subassembly section when it's selected the mirror option is greyed out. 

What I am trying to accomplish seems simple enough:

I have a utility easement in a drainage ditch that is 30' wide with a sewer line designed down the center, we need a very simple 10' access road on the uphill side of sewer line with 4:1 Cut/Fill slopes on either side when possible, however when the 4:1 won't catch within the easement I need it to daylight within.

At first glance the Daylight Inside ROW seems to be the appropriate subassembly for this instance but I can't get it on the left side of my road.Is there a way to set up this parameter with a different subassembly because I can get other subassemblies on the either side just fine, for example, the Cut Slope Layout Mode subaasembly works but when I build my corridor with it the slopes tie outside of the easement in several locations.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Feature At Daylight Line

Feb 20, 2013

I have been asked to put a feature (a diversion berm) at the daylight line of a roadway where cut conditions exist off the proposed shoulder.  Because of the length of the project, it would be useful if this could be done automatically as part of the corridor, rather than creating a feature line from the daylight line and grading it separately. 

Is there a way to continue an assembly past the initial daylight line and make it conditional to cut situations?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Shoulder Subassembly - Target Width Alignment At Grade Break

Nov 5, 2012

I am trying to model a DOT project in a fashion that allows a corridor surface creation for not only the finished surface, but also the datum surface. This is a machine control project currently under construction. One of the DOT's typical sections includes a shoulder subassembly with a grade break in it. This particular assembly varies in width at the grade break. I would like to have the option for a target width alignment at the grade break.

See attached sketch.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface From Grade

Jul 28, 2013

I'm working on a grading plan which excavates down from just outside the waterline of an existing pond. When I create a surface from the grading, it looks like a whole bunch of strange break lines have been added, messing up the surface. I thought it might be the mid ordinate distance but changing that doesn't seem to fix it it. Interestingly, when I grade from the original waterline, this doesn't seem to happen.

Here is my workflow, a picture of the result is shown below.

1. Turned the current waterline into a feature line.
2. Created new feature line by offsetting outside that feature line by 3.16 ft.
3. From new feature line, grade down 10 feet at 3:1
4. Create new surface using grading.

The grading lines (shown in white) look correct. But when I create the surface (green and yellow), it is all messed up.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Daylight To Surface Max Slope?

Apr 18, 2012

I'm modeling a simple corridor (12' lane 2%, 6' shoulder 6%, 4:1 to match EG).  I used the "LinkSlopeToSurface" subassembly for the 4:1 to match the EG.   Unfortunately our EG isn't always wide enough for the 4:1 slope to match it somewhere.

Is there an assembly that would use 4:1 as a standard daylight slope, but where necessary adjust the slope, max. 3.5:1, to match EG surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grade One Surface To Another Like Feature Line?

Jul 12, 2013

I was wondering if there is a way that I can take an existing grade surface and apply a designed pond surface.

Right now I have the pond as a set of 3d Polylines in the proper geometry.

I want to place the pond into this surface and cut/fill at a 3:1 from that pond to the existing surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grade To Surface At A Fixed Distance?

Aug 9, 2013

When we created our fist C3D template in 2007 it was possible to make a grading criteria that targeted a surface at a fixed distance.  In other words, the slope was variable.  Looking at it again in 2013 it appears it's not possible to creat a criteria like that.  Am I missing something?   Or was that option removed? .....perhaps because it was too unstable?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Takeoff Surface Area Of Daylight Slopes

Feb 28, 2012

What approaches are available in civil 3D to takeoff the surface area of daylight slopes?Which do you recommend for given scenarios?

I tried compute materials but the volume report for cut and fill area is zero - so either I missed something or the compute materials for surface area does not work yet. Then, I tried the QTO manager and linked the corridor codes slope_link and daylight_fill to payitems. Slope_link has a QTO of 1,458,099M2 and daylight_fill has 913.39M2; I have more confidence in the daylight_fill takeoff.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grading Tools - Creating Proposed Grade Surface?

Feb 21, 2013

I'm trying to create a proposed grade surface using the grading tools. I drew the outline boundaryof the proposed surface as a closed polyline then created a feature line from it and assigned different elevations to it. When I try to select the feature line in order to create the grading, I get "THIS FEATURE OVERLAPS ITSELF AND CANNOT BE GRADED". What could be a possible reason for this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Composer Target Surface

I can import my SA fine, but the problem is that the top of it needs to be cut off 1 m above the existing ground (which is already a surface in civil 3d). How do I setup the target surface so that when I import the SA into my drawing, I can link it to that surface and have it cut off 1 m above the surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Surface Not Using Correct Subassembly Point

Apr 29, 2013

I have created a new assembly that uses a HMA dike rather than your typical curb but my surface always begins at the top of the HMA pavement rather than the top of the curb subassembly. See Picture. Where's the setting to fix this (is it a daylight setting) or it is a bigger problem in that I didn't create the subassembly or assembly correct to begin with?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Daylight With Variable Slope

I wonder is it possible to have a daylight (or other function)  that can give a different slope for datum and for the top.  This would be useful for if you have different rules (e.g. because of geotech) with regard to temporary and permanent batter slopes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Make A Daylight Bench Right Before OG?

Jun 14, 2012

Is it possible to make a bench right before the daylight line meets the top surface (Original Ground)?

The Road prism is a tylical shape that has a u-shaped ditch on one side.  The daylight line from the outside edge of the ditch follows a series of comlicated benches at set elevations and then terminates at OG with no trouble but I'm trying to get an additional bench to be generated before OG (see attached + yellow lines). 

how to add this extera bench?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Transition Between Daylight Regions

Sep 12, 2013

I am working on a project where some of the corridors require different daylight slopes. I need to transition between a region with 2:1 slope to a 10:1 slope. My local civ3d support said something about using grading tools to achive that.

What I understood was that my assemblies should not have any daylight sub-assembly and that i should grade the corridor and than add a transition zone between the different gradings. Did I understand correctly?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Grade From A Corridor

Aug 27, 2013

I want to create a grade (without object grade) using a corridor. This is my assembly:

This only contains  the sub assembly "DaylightBench" in the side right.

I have the alignment and profile. I have created the corridor. 

red line= alignment
green line= feature line (code Intersecction) converted to polyline.
pink surface= surface (code TOP).

I have added a boundary for surface of type "add from polygon" and I have selected the closed polyline(green line).

However, the boundary seems doesn´t work.

I would like to place grade breaks (Using Profile labels) every 100' along the surface however the increment field isn't available for grade breaks.
