AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Name For Each PVI?

May 29, 2013

Is there a way to assign a name for each PVI? Normally PVIs are automatically labeled by station, ie x+xxx.xx, what I want to do is assign it with a name, ie. CORNER 1, MID2, END3, etc. I used to extract data from Excel manually to do this.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Z Value To Text?

Aug 29, 2013

I'm trying to assign the associated z values to the text in order to make a surface tin, as the survey I have is only in 2d format.

I've done this before so know it's possible - however it's been a fair while and my notes are rather insufficient...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Offset To Point Identifiers?

Nov 27, 2012

When I import my points (.txt), all of the points go to whatever layer is current.  They don't go into their repective layers anymore.

Also, for surface, the surface doesn't even show up now.  This is the 1st time with this problem too.  I created the surface, assigned the point group and still no contours. 

Also, out of curiosity, during the point import stage....what is "assign offset to point identifiers"?  does this mean, if points are right on top of each other, it will be automatically offset to read?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Subassembly To Certain Station Range?

Jul 10, 2012

I have a sidewalk project with 5' wide sidewalk and the edge of sidewalk is 5' of the back of curb.  All is fine and well, I have link slope to surface subassembly assigned to one side and a link offset and slope subassembly to the other side of the sidewalk.  Everything daylights nicely.

Here is the issue......my link slope to surface subassembly is an 8:1 slope to tie into the existing surface model.  There is one stretch of sidewalk where I have a retaining wall behind the sidewalk for about 15'.  My section views are every 10' and in one of them the wall needs to show up.  I could use the link vertcial sub assembly in this area but I am not sure how to use a specific subassembly in one area.  Do I split that region up in my corridor, create a new region to use that references a new assembly to use in that 15' strectch which would contain the link vertical subassembly?  Or, do I create the link vertcial  subassembly in my current assembly and assign a station range to it so it doesn't show up throughout the entire corridor?  It's like I wante to transition in and back out of a subassembly.  Incidentally, I have one assembly used for the entire length of my project.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Assign A Set Of Points A Sequence Of Point Numbers

Jan 17, 2012

What I wish to do is to assign a set of points a sequence of point numbers (or custom properties) of my choosing. For example, I have the following points:

100

102

104

105

107

I wish to assign point 100 -> 1000, 105 to 1001, 107 to 1002, 104 -> 1003, and 102 ->1004. Basically, I am looking for a command or utility that implements the "TCOUNT" (using select-order) command, but for Cogo points instead of text. The renumber points command appears to only work with offsets, and does not eliminate gaps. I can sequence the points if I select the points I want, then copy them -> set duplicate points to sequence from the range I choose, but this does not allow for reordering of point numbers. I tried individually selecting them in the order I wanted, but didn't change the order in which they were numbered.

Alternatively, I can leave the point numbers the same, and assign a user defined property that I can use to sequence the points in the order of my choosing. However, I'm not sure how to go about assigning the sequence I wish short of typing in each value individually; obviously non-ideal.

A third possibility that presented itself to me was to create new, correctly sequenced points that overlap exactly with the old ones, and then somehow merge the two sets together. Would there be a way to merge the old points and the new ones based on the fact that the two points have the same X-Y coordinates? Preferably done in CAD itself; the last resort would be to export both sets of points out to excel, then do some fancy manipulation in excel, then reimport into CAD.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Assign Coordinate System When Importing LAS Files

Aug 8, 2012

I have been trying to import LAS files via Civil 3D 2011.

To do this I first turn the workspace to ''Tool based geospatial''. Then i assign a global coordinate system which is the same one as the LAS file i am importing. The in the task pane window (command: mapwspace) under display manager tab i right click on map base --> data --> add point cloud data --> create new index and then choose the file I want to import. Here i have some trouble; in the create new index window i am unable to assign a coordinate system, i can find the one i need but i cant select it (or any other), it persists on staying unselected. I am able to create an index without a coordinate system but I need it with the right coordinates.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Elevation To Cogo Points By Snapping To Entities?

Is this still not possible with C3D 2013?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Assign Pipe Network To Profile View Band In 2011

Mar 21, 2013

I'm trying to add assign a Pipe Network to a profile view Band in Civil 3D 2011. I was using COM to add profiles to bands because I couldn't figure out how to do it in .NET. But when it comes to pipe networks I don't see how you can do that with COM. How the .NET implementation is supposed to work? Here's the code I have that works for COM, except for the pipe networks. I essentially need to assign the correct pipe network to the band.
 
public static void AddProfileToBand(this ProfileView profileView, ObjectId profObjId, List<BandItemInfo> bandStyleInfosFromSet, ObjectId profileBandSetId){
using (Transaction tr = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

[code]....

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Point File And Assign Elevation Based On Existing Surface

Apr 12, 2012

I have a bunch (hundreds, so manual input not an option) of X,Y points without elevation data that I would like to import into a DWG and assign an elevation that is based on an existing surface object.  Is there a way to do this for a point file? The command for inserting individual points would be the "Create points - Surface > Random" but I don't see a way to do this in a batch type method where i have my PNE formatted input file to just move the points to sit on the existing surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Mline To A Figure Style In Figure Prefix Database

I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011.  I am wondering if there is a way to assign an mline to a figure style in the Figure Prefix Database.  Ultimately I am trying to create storm drains that have a width automatically (ex. 12" SD would come in at 12").  Right now I have a single center line that comes in and I manually offset the line to create a width or I place an mline over the center line.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: DEM - Assign Coordinate System

I have connected to some SRTM DEM data, but the resulting terrain and contours I generated are not showing properly. Specifically, the map area is stretched out of shape (too wide L & R). I seem to recall it had to do with setting the proper "define coordinate system" option for the file.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Assign Gradient Transparency To Element

I know that I can assign transparency to an element (even to an entire layer).  But is it possible to apply transparency to an element on a GRADIENT basis?  In the following image, I'd like to have the portion between the outer boundary of the gray shape and the red shape become more and more transparent.  So that at the outer edge, you'd see NOTHING below the gray shape--but the closer you get to the red shape, the more you'd see through the gray shape.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Creating Workflow -> Assign Coordinate System

I'd like to create a workflow that will do this -- but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get it to set the coordinate system.  I will eventually need to tell the image what coordinate system to use (we normally have to edit that manually).
