AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slope To Depth Of 10 Feet Than Change To 2:1 Slope

Aug 13, 2012

I am in the process of transitioning from land desktop to Civil 3D. I design roads in steep terrain and sometimes need to have my catch (daylight) slopes change. So my question is, how do I change a daylight slope at a specified depth? For example, from the shoulder of the road I want a 3:1 fill slope to a depth of 10 feet than change to a 2:1 slope until it catches the existing surface. Can this be built into a subassembly such that if the fill is less than 10 feet it will daylight correctly at a 3:1 and if the depth is greater than 10 feet then it carries the 3:1 for 10 vertical feet and then changes to the 2:1 until it daylights?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Slope Arrow Change When X-Referenced?

Apr 24, 2013

issue that when the xref a drawing with Surface Slope Arrows, that the style changes in the child drawing compared to the parent?

I am hoping to use the standard I am used to of the arrow pointing down the hill (towards the -10ft) rather than what the child file is showing of uphill (away from the -10ft).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Structure Sump Depth For Multiple Structures

May 21, 2012

I have about 100 manhole structures with a 0.5' sump. I want them all to 0.0'. Is there a way to change the sump on more than one structure at a time?

The only way I have found to change the sump depth is one at a time through the structure properties.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sub Assembly Composer Change Sign Of Slope

Jan 7, 2013

I have an Input parameter called "Construction Slope" of type "Slope" that I would always like to be negative. As i did not find the possibility to restrict end user to inputing only negative value I tried to change the sign of the slope to negative if it is positive  by using an "IF" expression (when used as a "Geometry Property" for a new link):

 IF(ConstructionSlope<=0,ConstructionSlope,(-1)*ConstructionSlope)

However this expression produces an error: "Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression <...> Cannot infer a common type because more than one type is possible". If i remove multiplication by -1 then the error is gone (and the whole expression becomes meaningless as well of course). See even attached image.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Shoulder Subassembly That Varies Slope In Relation To Lane Superelevation Slope

Jan 22, 2013

i need a shoulder subassembly that varies slope in relation to the lane superelevation slope. i know that i can get a subassembly for the shoulder that will follow the alignment superelevation xml data but in my case i can't use it because we are just adding a shoulder to an existing road. we're not changing the superelevation of the existing road, just milling and overlaying and widening. right now i've created a profile of the outside edge of the shoulder that gives me the correct shoulder slope but whenever i change my centerline profile i have to redo the shoulder profiles which is a real time suck.

AutoCad :: Model Fewest Welds / Fittings Required To Change Angle And Elevation In Pipe Run

Jun 11, 2013

How do I model (or calculate) the fewest welds/fittings required to change angle and elevation in a pipe run, as shown in Option1 below.

For this example the constants are: 8" standard steel pipe, one of the fittings is a standard butt weld 45 (12" radius), bend angle is 70 degrees, and the elevation change is 9". The custom fitting is cut from a standard 8" long radius 90.

Note: Option2 is just shown for reference, I'm only interested in solving Option1

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Shortcut / Routine Required To Create Multiple Surface Intersections At Once

Jul 2, 2012

I am doing bulk earthworks with C3D 2013 and quite often I am modeling large dam walls with multiple raises, core sections, filter layers, etc so I end up with up to 50 surface models in one drawing. The process I follow involves modeling each raise of the wall by targeting an elevation 10 metres or so below NSL. I then use a volume surface to give me the intersecting boundary between the topography surface and the wall raise surface. I repeat this process for each raise/core/filter section - create volume surface to find intersection, extract boundary of intersecting volume surface, add boundary to wall raise surface, put both on a unique layer calculate volume - repeat for next wall raise - ad nauseum.

To speed things up a previous draftsperson created a shortcut button on the ribbon that does the volume surface trick with one click so all i need to do is hit the button, select topo, select wall raise and it gives me the volume surface between the two, all i need to do is extract the border and add it as an outer boundary to the wall raise. I would like to take this to the next level if possible and this is where I an stuck.

If my drawing consisted of a topography surface and "X" number of wall raise surfaces all named in a uniform fashion ascending numerically or alphabetically would it be possible to write a routine/shortcut button that did the following;

1.) Create a volume surface between topo & wall surface 1 - extract border as polyline - add polyline as outer     boundary to wall surface 1 - move both wall surface 1 and newly created boundary polyline to unique layer.

2.) Repeat process for topo and wall surface 2

3.) Repeat process for topo and wall surface 3

.....and so on until all wall surfaces have had volume surfaces created between them and the topo?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Click In Drawing Area Required After Picking Object To Get Cross Hairs Back

May 23, 2012

When I click on a civil 3d object the contextual ribbon will light up (which is fine) but instead of my cross hairs comming back in the drawing window I get the pointer that would be used to select an item in the ribbon (in the drawing area) and I have to click in the drawing area to get my cross hairs back or to grip edit the object or to delete the object.

Is there a option/setting I need to change to be able to get me cross hairs back after selecting a civil 3d object?

Just move to Civil 3d 2012, this worked just fine in '11...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Varying Depth Overlay

Dec 3, 2012

Would be interested in a strategy for a varying depth overlay, i.e. where the overlay assembly follows a centerline design profile rather than a pavement depth up from existing grade.  Then the trick would be for the software to calculate the asphalt volume between the new top surface and the existing roadway surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Depth Area

Nov 15, 2013

For a surface: I would like to a boundary above a inlet point that is 3" deep.

I would like something like catchment area but the ability to specify a depth distance. Or specify a depth in the water shed analysis in the surface properties.

The only way I know to do what I want is user defined contours for each elevation. Is there a better way to do get a specific shed area for a depth?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Negative Cut Slope

Oct 30, 2012

I have a simple driveway corridor along a steep hillside.  For cut, I would like to have a negative slope away from the shoulder edge.  I have tried numerous approaches and all 'cut' reverts to positive.  I searched and found no clear answer.  It's such a short driveway, I can 'fake' it in, but I would like to calculate quantities.

Photoshop :: Change TIFF Bit Depth?

May 12, 2008

I'm importing TIFF images into a 3rd-party presentation software. Due to a problem in that software, it doesn't support 48-bit TIFFs. I opened my TIFFs in Windows Image Viewer, and they indeed are listed as 48-bit. The 3-rd party website simply said "use Photoshop to convert 48-bit TIFFs into 24-bit". How can I make 24-bit TIFFs?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Invert Depth Band?

Jan 23, 2011

I'm currently setting up a band set and want to include a band "pipe invert depth" i.e. basically trench depth.

There are properites in the band label style composer for "pipe invert level" and for "cover" and for "pipe diameter" but not pipe invert depth.Is there a way to display the pipe invert depth relative to the reference (design) surface/alignment?

A secondary question to this is can you use basic arithmetic in the band label style composer? eg pipe cover + pipe diameter?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Nautical Chart Depth Labels

Jul 20, 2012

I was wondering if it was possible in c3d to label points in the fashion often used for nautical charts in which each sounding (elevation) point is labeled with the integer component of the number followed by the decimal as a subscript. For instance 7.3 metres depth would look like: 73

Also I've seen charts with depths as fathoms and feet so 64 feet depth would be 104.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Display More Than Two Slope Ranges

Jul 8, 2013

I've got a surface that displays contours correctly. When I go to Surface Properties-Analysis tab, I can  set an arbitrary number of ranges for contours, directions, elevations, slope arrows, etc, and they display correctly.

I can set an arbitrary number of ranges in the slope range box too, but when I click the Analyze button, Civil 3D 2014 hotfix 1 only displays two slope ranges: 0% to 2979736.0077% and 2979736.0077% to 99999900.0001%. (!)
