AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Get Alignment Object From Data Referenced Corridor Surface

Oct 25, 2012

is it possible to get the alignment name which the corridor surface is built from when the surface is being data referenced. in other word no corridor as the middleman.

the way i see it is when corridor suface is referenced, it becomes a regular surface and loses some properties such as parent alignment.

i am still using COM. maybe .net can do it? either way works.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Referenced Surface

Dec 7, 2010

I have created a data shortcut to a surface using Civil3D 2011. When I create a reference to it in another drawing, it shows up in the Prospector but nothing shows up on the screen. I have played with the surface style and made sure all the layers were on and tried closing and reopening the drawing.

I have also tried to reference it into a brand new blank drawing and I even tried to reference a surface in a different file that I have referenced several times before (in 2010). Every time I get the same results. It seems like the surface is there, but I just can't see it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Referenced Profiles Bring In Multiple Copies Of Alignment

Aug 24, 2010

I have a design file that has and alignment with 3 profiles (one surface profilke and two layout profiles)

All these are data referenced to the project. Then they are data referenced into a new file. I bring in one of the profiles that brings in the alignment. Lets call it "Main Street". Then I create another reference to another one fo the profiles and it brings in a copy of an alignment and calls it "Main Street (1)"

This is a pain because I cant get a profile view to show all the profiles because the profiles are associated with three different alignments "Main Street", "Main Street(1)", "Main Street(1)(1)"

This is only happening with one of the of the alignments. The other alignment has all its profiles listed under one alignment.

Is there any way to determine the source drawing of a dref'ed object? I'm not seeing anything in COM or the .NET API's, hopefully I'm just not looking in the right place.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Get Alignment Object From Corridor State?

Jan 14, 2013

i am trying to get the coordinate value for the current station in the subassemblies.

i found

Autodesk.Civil.Roadway.DatabaseServices.BaseBaseline.StationOffsetElevationToXYZ(ByRef Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d) As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d

but how you get  the basebaseline?

in the alignment object there is no convert station to coordinate only coordinate to station. which is useless in this case.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Has Disassociated Surface And Alignment Data References

Aug 28, 2013

I am working on roadway project where I am using Pipe Networks to layout the drainage infrastructure.  I have set my working dwg up so that I am data referencing the existing surface and proposed alignment.  I have set my pipe network up so that it is also referencing this surface and alignment.  Everything was working fine.  Labels were pulling the correct information from my surface elevations, and stations were being referenced as well, until I got a message that recommended that I recover my drawing. 

I ran recover and my surface and alignment data shortcut disappeared. My pipe network now shows questions marks where there were once stationing and it appears that the surface and alignment have completely disassociated themselves from my drawing, however they appear in the prospector, but cannot be refreshed.  Again the data shortcut symbol is no longer next to my surface and alignment, but there is a symbol telling me that those objects are being referenced by another object in my drawing (my pipe network).   I have tried refreshing, resetting the working folder, all to no avail.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Surface Is Not Matching Corridor Top Links

My corridor surface is not matching my corridor top links.  see attachments.  this is affecting my volumes!

The section-plan(surface red).png is showing the section editor and the plan view.  the red highlighted line in section is the corridor surface and as you can see in plan view the surface is incorrect and wiggly.

The pdf is all my sections with the red linework being the corridor surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Renaming Surface That Is Referenced?

Jul 10, 2012

I am working in Civil 3D 2010 and I created a surface a while back which 4 pipe networks have been referenced to and the surface has been data shortcut'd. I am now facing the issue that the surface needed to be renamed.

I looked in the Data Shortcuts folder and the name didn't change on the shortcut. All the pipe networks have errors now cause it is looking for a surface that technically no longer exists.

I tried deleting the Data Shortcut and creating a new one with the new name and resetting all the networks to the new surface but I am still gettting errors.

Is there a step that I am missing to get all this to link together properly with the new name?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Reference Alignment Stationing Differs From Original Alignment

May 3, 2012

I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.

Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.

I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Duplicate Data Referenced Objects

May 15, 2012

Not sure if this is something that has been going on a while, if it is a design flaw, or if it just a workflow thing that we should be more mindful of, but here goes:

1. I data reference an alignment into a drawing.

2. I later data reference in a profile that was created from and associated with that alignment.

In this scenario, Civil 3D creates a duplicate alignment for the profile i.e., the orginal alignment is in prospetor as 'Alignment A' and the profile being data referenced in creates a 'Alignemnt A (1)' duplicate and associates itself with it.

This also happens if I bring in a different profile created from the same alignment IF the alignment was already present as a data reference in the drawing.

This seems wrong. It doesn't do any of this if I data reference the profile in first...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Referenced Surfaces And Alignments

Oct 29, 2013

We have a HUGE number of data referenced surfaces and alignments that need to be moved to a different group of folders.  Is there a simple way to do this without breaking the references (each surface/alignment) is referenced into multiple drawings.

The project was divided up into a bunch of little mini projects so now we have 500150_A, 500150_B etc (around 90 of them).  Each one has a dwg file with a surface and at least one alignment and that drawing is data referenced to all the other sheets within that mini project.  Each project has _Shortcuts, drawings etc.  

The powers-that-be have decided to 1) change the project number (from 500150 to 500152) and 2) to bring all these mini projects together into ONE project.

We've confirmed that each surface/alignment has a unique name which means that there shouldn't be a conflict in that regard.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Surface Will Not Paste Into Empty Surface

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Referenced Surface Not Working - Random Times

Oct 2, 2013

We have drawing "A" that contains a surface (call the surface "SurfaceA").

We have another drawing "B", that contains an alignment and a reference to"SurfaceA"

The user created EG profiles in drawing "B", and has been working on this drawing periodically.

Today all of a sudden when he opens Drawing "B", the EG profiles are missing. When you look at "SurfaceA" in Drawing "B", there is no data. We synced, we made sure of the association of the drawings to the projects, etc. etc.

I verified the data shortcuts are OK, and verified that both drawings are in good shape (via Recover and Audit)

But wait.....here is the crazy part. If you shut down Drawing "B" and open it say a dozen times, once or twice in that stretch, "surfaceA" shows up and the EG profiles will appear OK too.  It's feels very random.....

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding Corridor Surface To EG Surface

I am trying to visualize a road project. The problems is, whenever the corridor surface goes below the EG surface (when the road is in cut) the EG surface is the only visible surface.

I sort of need to subtract the corridor surface from the EG surface, or merge the both surfaces into one.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment From Corridor

Feb 7, 2013

When creating an alignment from corridor feature (ditch invert level), the created alignment is not following the selected line (see image bellow). The alignment seams to be created from the first point of the feature line to the last point and ignores all the other points. The vertical alignment created at the same time seams to be correct.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Adjustment To Alignment

Aug 5, 2013

  My alignment runs on the road center line and ends at the center of the cal-de-sac bubble. My corridor runs to the middle of the cal-de-sac. I need to shorten the corridor to end where the constant road width ends and the bulb  of the cal-de-sac begins. I can shorten the Corridor on the alignment or do I need to create a new alignment to the desired length?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Alignment For Corridor

May 13, 2012

I have the centerline of a berm constructed using a 3D polyline.  I want to use this centerline as the Alignment that I need from which to create a Corridor.  When I try to create an Alignment from objects, I can only use a 2D polyline, not 3D.  The berm has a slope to it and I need to have the assembly follow that slope as I create the Corridor.  Do I need to create the Alignment in 2D and then edit the points for elevation?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Parts Change To Default When Data Referenced Into Other Drawing?

Dec 21, 2010

When creating my plan set, I need to data reference pipe networks into other drawings than that in which they were designed to show crossings in profile views or to separate out profiles into managable drawings. When I do this, if I have swapped a type-13 inlet for a 10' type R inlet or something during design, the data referenced pipe network will replace the 10' type R with a default inlet. Also if I have swapped a proposed 30" pipe for an existing 30" that have different styles, the data referenced pipe network will revert back to the proposed 30" pipe. how to make a data referenced pipe network reflect what is currently in the design drawing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment And Profile From Corridor Not Working Correctly?

Oct 9, 2013

For an intersection, I am trying to create an alignment and profile from the Lane (edge of traveled way) of my main road for the intersection lanes to tie to. I just did this yesterday on this same corridor without any issue, but today it doesn't create the alignment correctly. It doesn't actually follow the feature line that I select. The alignment is in orange and the green line is the lane line. Notice that the alignment isn't following the lane line. 

What would cause this? It worked fine doing the exact same thing yesterday, but today it's not.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment / Corridor / Super Elevation Error

Jul 16, 2012

Using Civil 3D 2012 SP 1 on Win7 Pro 64-bit. 

Is there any reason why a corridor model would not be respecting the manually entered super elevation values in the alignment? I have several stations that should be calculated with even super elevation values, but they aren't. For example, at station 0+080 on my alignment the left crown should be running at -3%, but it is actually being calculated at -2.47%. It isn't just one station; it's most of them. No overridden stations, vertical targets, etc in the corridor. Just a fairly straight-forward align (hor/vert) with super, simple assembly (two lanes, shoulder, daylight), simple corridor.

Ultimately I am trying to determine a volume between my corridor and original topo.
