AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Or Draw Feature Line - Site Is Set To Desired Value

Nov 15, 2013

C3D 2012

I have a number of Sites in my drawing.  I want to be able to set a Site current (in LISP) so that when you  create or draw a feature line, the site is set to the desired value.  I haven't seen a variable or setting for this.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Delete Feature Line From Site

Jul 17, 2012

I have a rogue feature line that I do not know where or why it appeared from. (Somehow it is a duplicate of my curb line, but offset.)I cannot delete this feature line. It is not applied to any surface as a break line, but when I go to delete it, it freezes autocad.

I have done all the basic steps of purging, audit, recovering, even tried mapclean and I still cannot delete it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Create Feature Line From Profile

Jul 15, 2013

is there a way to draw a line in the profile view and create that line into a feature line? and if there is can i project that line into the plan? i know that you can make a feature line in the plan and project that feature line into a profile view, just wondering if you could basicly do the reverse. i don't want to make a coridor.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Feature Line From Object

Oct 9, 2012

I use the create feature lines from object command from the Survey pull-down menu and choose a "Associate figure survey point to vertices" I get a survey figure that uses point elevations at some vertices and 0 at others. However, if I use Create Feature Lines from Objects under the Grading pull-down, and use a surface made of just the points, I get a a figure with all the correct elevations.

I checked the vertices where the survey figure drops to 0 and the line is snapped to the point, distance = 0.0000. What gives?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Profile Layout From Feature Line

Oct 4, 2012

I want to create a profile layout by feature line. Is it possible?I have a pipe about 3 miles long, an alignment along the pipe, and a provie view showing the exisitng surface and pipe network. The pipe network was created from a feature line. I projected the feature line to the profile.

This is why I want to do this: I need to label the horizontal and vertical angle points of the pipe in plan view. I crated a style that shows the station and elevation. I want the elevation to reference the profile. But it only gives me the elevation of the surface and I need the top of pipe elevation.

I tried crate profile by layout and traced over the top of the pipe in profile but its 3 miles and it will take a long time. How to get what I want done faster?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Feature Line From Alignment / Profile?

Oct 25, 2013

C3D 2013, Win 7, 64 bit

When I try to create a feature line using an alignment/ profile, sometimes it gives me a feature line for the entire alignment, even though my profile is only a small segment.  I made sure I selected the correct profile, and I even deleted all other surface profiles just in case.  But it still gives me a wonky feature line for the entire alignment.

However, in the same file, other profiles have worked perfectly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Feature Line By Snapping To Cogo Point Node

Oct 7, 2013

I think this issue started with SP2. I don't remember having these issues in SP1 and earlier.

Create some COGO points at varying elevations.Start a new feature line.Use "node" object snap and pick your first cogo pointIt does not pick up the elevation of the point (it used to)Now draw feature line segments to a few more cogo points entering the elevation each time.It does not pick up the elevation of the point (it used to)Now switch to Arc mode and snap to a few more cogo points.It does correctly picks up the elevation of the cogo points (like it used to)R.K.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Projection Grading Create Segments On Parent Feature Line

Dec 12, 2013

When we apply surface projection gradings to feature lines, we get locked vertices on the feature line wherever the grading transitions from cut to fill. In turn these vertices create segments in the feature line which influence any labels applied to the line. I don't want a bazillion segment labels on my FL. I only want segment labels between the physical vertices and elevation points. Is there a workaround or is an enhancement request in order?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Switch From One Site To Another When Editing Feature Lines?

Mar 5, 2012

I created a few different Sites as I created Feature lines in order to keep them separate and avoid having one affect the others.  The problem is that I am now stuck in the Last Site created.  So commands like "QUICKEDITFEATUREELEVS" only see those feature lines in the last Site created.  How can I switch to another site so I can quickly edit those feature lines?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Remove Feature Line Used As Break Line When Creating Surface

Dec 11, 2012

I needed to remove a feature line that I used as a break line when creating a surface.   When I removed the feature line from the definition of the surface, the grading did not change.  It appears the points created by the feature line remain which is why grading didn't change.  The only work around was to delete these points. 

I noticed the same thing happens when I removed the surface boundary and inserted a new boundary.  why these points remain and how to remove when I delete boundary and feature line from surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Grading Plan For Solar PV Site Or Golf Course?

Feb 28, 2013

how to use Civil 3D to create a grading plan for a solar PV site or a golf course?

Here is the situation.  We have a large 100 acre site that is not flat.  We want to do minimal grading to "smooth out the surface".  So that maximum slope on the site is 10%.  The site does not have to be graded completely flat.  We are trying to work with the existing contours and terrain as much as possible.

Is there some functiion or some way for Civil 3D to "smooth out a surface"?  We want to work with the existing slopes and contours of the site and just need a grading plan that will smooth out mounds, holes, or high slope areas.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Create Feature Line To Use As Breakline For The Bottom Of Ditch

Mar 26, 2012

I'm trying to create a feature line to use as a breaklline for the bottom of a ditch. I click on the first contour, elev.678, accept the elevation, click the next contour, select T for transition, then accept the elevation, 677. I would like to end up with a feature line having a first node elev. 678, end node elev. 677, slope -4% (contours are 25' apart). Instead,  The first node is 678, slopes @ -1.33% to an inserted node, elev. 677.1, then slopes at -21.88% to end node elev. 677. What am I doing wrong? I don't see a lot of options here when creating (drawing) a feature line. Should I be using something else to accomplish this task?

AutoCad :: How To Draw A Site Plan

Sep 4, 2012

I've never used AutoCAD before but I'm trying to make a site plan. I attached a picture of the property I'm trying to make a site plan of. Basically, it's a building that 59' by 92' that has a fenced in yard that is roughly a rectangle. I'd like to fit the site plan on regular 8.5"x11" sheet of paper. I know how to draw lines but don't know how to make them the right lengths. It doesn't need to be perfect with angles but I'd like to make it look nice with like a border and titles and such. I've been trying to read up on how to do it but I just get overwhelmed.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Projection

Sep 26, 2013

Is there any way to project feature lines into a profile when the plan view is xref'd? I have my plan view "existing topo" with all existing features/Figures and a existing surface.

My profile is a separate dwg with plan view xref'd and surface a data shortcut. Of course there are feature lines and Survey Figures in the existing top I want to project into the profile, but can't because it is an xref. Besides copying .

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Arc Or Feature Line As Breaklines

Jan 7, 2014

I am building a surface and have back of curb, curb face, and curb flowline going around a curve.  I cannot create the lines with the usual pline as they will cross due to poor field collect.  I created the curbs with multiple arcs.  I was then going to change them into Feature Lines and am wondering if I can then use them as breaklines in a surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Feature Line

Jan 7, 2014

I am building a corridor with the right side of the pavement fitting to the existing surface.The subassembly used to link the edge of pavement to the existing ground is LinkSlopeToSurface.

On the corridor created, the feature line (code P2) of the corridor surface (top) starts from the station 0+025, instead of 0+000.

I was wondering why there is no feature line P2 for station range 0+000 to 0+025? Does that mean the linkage to the existing ground surface not exist for the slope defined in the subassembly?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Elevations

Mar 25, 2013

We are running Civil3d 2012. When converting a line or 3d poly to feature line, or just creating one it adds elevation points where it crosses surface breaklines even if you do not assign elevations. We want the feature to just have 2 elevations. The beginning and end. Is this a bug? Or is there another setting somewhere?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Tie Feature Line To Surface

Sep 4, 2013

I created a label for retaining wall that takes the z value from the start and end of a feature line. Works great except that it isn't dynamic. I have created the feature line in a grading sheet where the surface is data shortcut into it and I'm just using grips to make sure the ends are on the bottom and top of the retaining wall. Is there any way to dynamically pin/tie the feature line to a surface that has been data shortcut?
