I will be using the stripping pavement subassembly. I would like to strip 1.0' but in a Deeper fill I only need to strip 5' below finish grade. Is it possible to limit stripping. I can't find a way
I've recently started working with Civil2012/2013 (bit the bullet you might say).
I attended a course on civil about a year ago but it didn't cover all the bases.
My question: stripping calculation, is there a way fro civil to perform it automatically?
One way to calculate stripping (manually) is after i have all the tin volume surfaces, is to show the fill areas in the volume tables and then do the calculation myself.
I am trying to apply the stripping pavement subassembly to only fill situation and even though my attachment point is only the fill case it applies it to both as shown. I am trying to get this information to provide a stripping volume for fill cases only.
I have got a logo that is 451 x197. It has a resolution of 72 px. I am trying to increase the resolution so that I can use the image for business cards and letterhead.
I need for the image to have a width of about 2500 pixels. If I scale the image to 2500 pixels the edges look pixelized or blurry.
My question is: Is there a way that I can make the 471 px logo stretch to 2500 px and still have sharp edges?
What formula Civil3D uses to calculate the average slope of a surface?
The formula I am using is S = I*L/A
S = Average Slope I = Contour Invertval L = Length of Contours (ft) A = Area of parcel (sq. ft)
I just had to do four parcel calcs and the percentage I find using the formula is always 1-3% lower than the percentage Civil3D spits out. I can't find anything about how Civil3D arrives at that number, it just appears. I assume that Civil3D is more accurate but I can't give that number to a client without knowing how the program arrived there.
Trying to calculate a catchment area to allow me to size some culverts using Civil 3D 2012 Sp#1.
" The specified location results in a Catchment with no area."
After sitting for 15 miutes I keep getting the above message. The surface is huge and there is an obvious catchment area (or I think it is obvious). The surface was generated from contours and cover an area of approx. 8Km x6.5Km but the catchment ares should be around 15-20% of that area.
I tried another one upstream about a Km and it worked fine. So the one I am doing now should encompass the upstream area as well as from that point downstream to the Discharge Point.
With reference to the picture attached, I am trying to find the overlapping area between two different cross-sections. I.e.the area of green minus the area of white.
The hard way to do it would be to sketch a closed polyline over the area I want but I have about 100 of these to do and more to come.
What is the formula used to find the value civil3d pave, base and subbase?
i have attachment material report, the three numbers marked in my attachment are the end areas calculated by the software. So, i want to know how those numbers are calculated .. manual calculated with formula ..
Is there a way to have C3D calculate your cut generated from a pipe network? I have a site with storm, sewer, and water lines. All of which are on 3 seperate pipe networks. I also have my finished grade surface established.
I know you can get the volume difference between two surfaces (EG&FG) but you would think you could do this for the pipe networks as well...
I am working on a project that requires me to calculate how much gravel I have to take out of a steep hillside when I am designing a route for a pipeline and a road. I is it possible to do this in Civil 3d and how can I do it?
I have a problem when calculating the volume of a design plan, the slope of the land, the design had to be made so as not to slide trap. How it makes grading a trap,
How to calculate in a table the volume of cut and fill between the stations, The horizontal and vertical alignments are generated along with their sections. I’m wondering if there is a tool that summarize the volume of cut and fill between the stations in a table.
What is the formula used to find the value civil3d pave, base and subbase? Value of what is needed to calculate it? what parameter values obtained from the lane and shoulders?
I’m using 2011, due to printing issues in 2013. My question relates to determining how runoff gets diverted, or spreads out, after leaving a well defined channel.
I have a street intersection scenario. It’s a “Y” situation in which the main trunk of the “Y” is curbed and contains all the water for the three storms I’m studying. Runoff flows towards the two streets that branch off. I need to know what percentage of runoff water splits during the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storms from the main (curbed) roadway to the other two streets - one curbed, one uncurbed.
I assume that velocity, runoff volume, storm intensity, street cross sections, slopes, and other variables play a big role in how the water diverts, but I’m not sure how to set up this scenario in SSA. Do I somehow use a weir? Do I use an open channel, or user-defined channel? I have a subbasin area defined with my concentration point at the end of my main curbed street before the water splits off. I’m not sure where to go from here when it comes to inserting links, weirs, channels, etc.
how I can set this up? I’m not even sure it’s possible to have the software provide this type of calculation.
I have a few questions regarding spread/street capacity:
When calculating the spread at the catch basin locations, how does it determine the curb height?? Does it always assume 6"?? what if it is a roll curb??? is it olnly determined by the "throat height" of the inlet?? How can I calculate my spread on random spots throughout the street??
I have an acad document connected to some .shp files, which contain polygonal shapes with some meta-tags.
I want to achieve the following: draw a polygonal shape and select all the tangent areas (I already know how to do so)take a property of those areas and calculate an area-proportional [or: area weighted] average value (proportional to the partial area defined by the drawn polygonal shape). I tried to achieve this by splitting the objects and merging them again with defined splitting (area proportional) and merging (average) options. The problem is: splitting & merging doesn't work until I disconnect the data files (checking the objects out doesn't work) and even then I can't split the areas. And, more important: This doesn't create a weighted average and I don't even want to manipulate the objects! I just want to get one value out of all these steps.
I appended a screenshot of my file. E.g. I want to take the value 923.2 and multiply it with the corresponding area percentage it represents in the drawn shape. So the calculation would look something like 0.02*923.2 + 0.2*926 + 0.12*945,9 [...] until all the 100% are covered and I get one single representative value.
I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 on an Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 64bit Win 7 Pro SP 1 PC.
I was just wondering why when I try and calculate an area using a polyine, I am getting a readout of 1.80401967E+07, when I have it set to give me the calculation in square feet? It is an area of approx. 246 Acres.....is this because the area is so large? I am not sure what the "E" stands for or the "+07" at the end....
How to calculate the AREA of cut and fill analogous to the volume of cut and fill between surfaces, but instead only between the alignment and the road profile in the prolfile view. From what I've read of similar posts a few people have had the same question but have been instructed how to do it with volumes as opposed to area. Also how to insert a table of cut and fill area analogous to the one you can inset from the volumes dashboard.
I use Civil 3D 2011 and I am new to it. I have created a natural ground surface from survey points. Now i want to create a finished surface with a specific slope in a specific direction at a specific elevation and then to calculate cut and fill volume.
I can create a flat surface at a specific elevation. How to tilt this surface to a specific slope along a specific direction.
At my job site, they is about 20meter height of uneven rock surface in the excavation pit.
To calculate the volume ,I need to include this uneven rock surface wall.
For doing so,The sharp edge will displays in the cross section.
Because the uneven surface, I cannot create the surface with normal step.The TIn line will joins horizontally,not in vertical direction as is intended.
I've got a closed traverse that has all the elements, but when I try and analyze it, I get the dreaded error: Insufficient angles, distances or points to calculate this loop. Creating a Traverse for Adjustment: [URL]l and my screen capture looks very similar to his, but I'm not getting any results.
Many times my raw images are left with what can only be described as a "haze" over them. It is not a lens deal, it is something I'm not doing in the raw conversion process because .jpegs don't have it albeit .jpegs have their other weaknesses. Sometimes the black slider will remove the haze, but many times I'm left with too many areas that are dark. I think it is a contrast issue, but I really stuggle getting rid of the haze and keep a sharp contrasty image without adding more deep shadows to the image.
LR4.2 gives some ugly magenta color cast on deep shadows especially at high iso pictures. Nikon Capture NX2 gives them too, but not so heavy. If I push the shadows at iso 1600, they are all magenta. Is it related to the beta state of the D600 support? My D700 is at iso 3200 in deep shadows completely black (only luminance noise), even pushed. Is there a possibility to correct that issue with LR (high iso blackpoint correction)? The shadow color tint correction from the calibration option is not really a solution, because it does not only correct the deep shadows, so the other shadows get a green tint.
