difference (and the utility) for displaying a flooded (blue) and a surcharged (red) node? I assume that the surcharged (red) node is when water is bubbling out of the grate, what is the flooded node, and when would I want to check on the flooded nodes?

I have trying to run lift station simulations and my calculation nodes are always flooding. They don't flood in real life so what could be a problem?

I want my points to display the correct elevation but when I draw lines connecting them I want the line to be 2D so when I list them I get the correct bearing and a horizontal distance.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and just installed HotFix 3 (so I should be all up to speed). I have created a water linetype (---W---) and telephone linetype (---T---). The problem I am having is the 'W' and 'T' seem to flip at some of the nodes based on if the Polyline is going up or down (from left to right). When it is going up it displays right side up...going down it displays upside down. They are one single polyline with nodes.
I have tried REVERSE, PEDIT then Reverse, my linetype definition is set to U=0.0, but nothing has worked. I have redrawn other polylines and they all have the same issue.
Attached is a PDF of the polylines.
I imported survey data and had auto lines drawn. then I rotated my points/nodes. -- how do i get my linework to update?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy surveyor gave me a topo survey done in no particular coordinate system. He set up his total station on a PK nail and gave it a coordiante of (5000, 5000, 100). I used this survey to generate a surface.
I also have a site survey of the same site, done in state plane coordinate system. the two surveys have mulitple common points; pk nails, iron pins ect.
What i need to do is move the points for the topo survey over to the survey that is in state plane. A simple move command will not do this.
How do i go about moving these points to thier correct location without having to manually edit the .txt file?
I have a master plan development that I am trying to model different wastewater flows scenerios for I am basically following this paper from AU 2011 [URL] but have a couple of issues I am trying to work around.
Basically I want to take a spreadsheet of flows determined for specific nodes and upload it into SSA quickly from the paper
I can see that you can write a shp file of the network and then add different flow scenerios to the .dbf file and them use the GIS import function of SSA to get the flows assigned in one hit.
The issue I have however is that my network is a prelimary design in Civil3d as pipes and structures and if I create a .sdf of the network and then.shps from that data I do not get the structure sump elevations, this is not something that created in the shp file export process,
To work around this I through maybe I could export the network from Cicil3d to SAA which gies me all the strucutres with the correct sump levels and then also create a .shp and .dbf file and add the flows and them do a GIS import of just the structures and merge them with the exisiting network as the structure names as exactly the same and therefore the gis import should find the correct structures.
However SSA does not and adds a second lot of nodes with the same structure name but with Junction in the front.
in autocad civil 3D, there is a A value for alignment design. What is the difference between A value and K value?

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.

Which is better to do: contour smoothing or surface smoothing? I did a little test with a surface with no smoothing, a surface with contour smoothing set to medium, and a surface with surface smoothing. The results puzzled me. The contours in the surface with no smoothing matched the contours of the surface with surface smoothing. The profiile of the surface with no smoothing matched the profile of the surface with contour smoothing. Are these results typical? I was surprised that the contours of the surface with surface smoothing didn't look smoother. I was also surprised that the surface with no smoothing and the surface with contour smoothing generated the same profile.

I have created 2 surfaces of a matierial that is buried, using drill hole data. I have a surface for the top, and then a surface for the bottom of this material. I then created a 3rd suface comparing these 2, creating an isopac contour showning the thickness of the material. My question is this:.....is there a way to make the zero (0) contour show up? I have a .5 contour interval, but 0 doesn't generate. Could i be missiing something in the settings?

I recently had to re-format the cpu and re-install acad. I'm working with XP Pro and acad 2006 and am now having the "fun" of trying to get acad back to the settings I am used to.
Everytime I work in a drawing, whether it be new or old, all these little x's show up on my screen. It looks like 3 nodes overlapping each other. if I zoom in or out and regen they move. a zoom extents does not include them in the drawing area. pdmode has no effect on them nor does blipmode. I can delete everything in the drawing, do a regenall and they are still there. the below link is a screen shot...

They are really anoying to look at and its been so long since I have had to configure acad I can not figure out what is doing this and how to stop it.
UPDATE- maybe just a coincidence but it seems they are being created when i copy something, maybe a temporary basepoint marker or something, but then they never disappear.
when i do a run of dimensions and then realise i need to move the lot of them up the page it moves the nodes with it!
is there any way of them staying where i originally placed them?

I have created a report from a frame analysis of an arrangement of I-Beam steelwork. I need to check that I have placed the nodes in the right order and this is reflected in the results of the report. I have the parent and child nodes connected at the ends of the beams as shown on the attached screen shot. I'm interested to know if the order in which I have selected the nods makes any difference to the results. There a 3 node connection points at each corner section.
