Mar 6, 2012

I want to cut a channel through a existing surface; bottom width: 5 feet; at elevation 1950 and side slope 1:1 (45deg) up to existing ground.

What I am doing right now is create a feature lines 5 feet wide, at el 1950 and use grading tool to project it to existing ground with side slope at 1:1. What i am doing is correct?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design Assistant Doesn't Open

Nov 3, 2011

One of our employees installed new demo version of Inventor 2012 on my computer and it made a lot of mess as I am running 2009 as well. The whole system got confused so I decided to delete all 2012 inventor related programs in the control panel however I cannot run the design assistant now. When I click on the design assistant it pops up and disappears.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Model Existing Drainage Channel?

Sep 28, 2012

how one might model an existing drainage channel.

Here’s the scenario – field crews are going to collect data for a 500 ft long concrete (trapezoidal) drainage channel. The bottom width varies from 7 ft to 19 ft wide with vertical walls varying from 4 ft to 7’ high. The channel will be filled and capped.

I considered using one of the channel subassemblies with Civil 3d and establish targets along the existing channel top and bottom of walls. However, I don’t see that the stock subassemblies are intended for this and don’t really lend themselves to perform this. I suppose the other option is to use linkwidthandslope subassemblies and use multiple targets for inside bottoms, inside tops and outside tops of walls.

AutoCAD LT :: Objects In Open Drawings Not Visible In Design Center

Dec 25, 2011

Since upgrading to AutoCAD LT 2011 I cannot use the Design Center for inheriting objects such as layers, blocks etc between drawings. I have a few different drawings open which are displayed in the tree view of the 'open drawings' tab in the Design Center. But the objects of the drawings are not displyed. No +-sign in front of the drawing name, no icons in the icon field, just a summary at thebottom saying '0-items'.

I have tried reinstalling AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Find Normal Depth In Natural Channel

Aug 21, 2013

I was recently trying to find the normal depth in a natural channel to use as an outfall water surface elevation in SSA.  I double checked the normal depth calculations using the Express Add-On in Civil 3D.  I found that while the normal depths correlated closely for channels with a single roughness coefficient, they varied considerably if a composite roughness coefficient was used for the left and right overbanks.  This leads me to believe that composite roughnesses are being calculated incorrectly in SSA. I would like to use SSA for floodplain analysis, but am unwilling to do so until I have confidence in the calculations.

Photoshop :: Create Action To Copy Channel Name Text And Insert Into Channel In CS5?

Jul 26, 2013

I am a screen printer and I print my separations from Photoshop. I routinely work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional spot color channels. I have created actions to place my registration marks, re-size images, etc to get ready to print but I manually have to create the text labels for each screen if they are missing from the original artwork.

The files I work with have channels named as "Base White, Red, Green, 284 Blue" etc indicating the ink color. What i would like to be able to do is click an action that would copy the text from the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels near the top of the file so that when I print each positive it has a corresponding label for ink color.

I am not sure if this is even possible, and I am limited on my knowledge when it comes to actions and have pretty much got lucky in the past getting them to do what I want without unnecessary steps.

On my registration target action it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combines them into one separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all the ink channels and fill with black to make them appear, i'm happy with the steps it takes as it isn't too much trouble and if this could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing MX Highway Design

Sep 2, 2013

I am looking into switching to AutoCad Civil 3D from MxRoads. Up to now I have been using Mx and have a large back catalogue of roads work all in MX formats, Input files, Genios etc.

Given that Mx is string based and Civil 3D appears to be section based, I'm wondering if when you import a genio created in Mx, is there a way to "link" a carriageway string to the master string, without having to recreate the alignment from scratch. If I needed to do a quick change to a vertical alignment or a road widening I want to be able to do without reinventing the wheel! I need to ensure that the program can recognize the relevant way string that matches the Master string.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Not Getting Design Levels Of Assembly

Dec 12, 2013

I'm not getting the design levels of assembly, just major offset and elevation, how can i get all design levels from where my assembly is changing and where it is matching to the existing surface, is there any band problem or anything else, im sending the view that how i'm getting my cross section and also i want to know that how can i control text size because it is too big for sections.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Stream Restoration Design

Jun 24, 2013

How to do a stream restoration design with corridor modeling. for the low flow channel pool, i will have alternate riffle and pool sections. my understanding is riffle for X feet, then pool for Y feet, then repeat, per the riffle to pool spacing requirements.

my question is regarding the left pool and right pool sections. please see attached images. for left pool, width A > width B and vice versa. A+B is the same for both left and right pools. left pool assembly has to be applied when the centerline alignment is curving outward to the left side, right pool when curving outward to the right side.

is there a way to specify in corridor modeling when an assembly is to be applied based on the direction of the centerline alignment curves?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Integrating Infraworks / 3Ds Max Design

Jul 23, 2013

The following video show a dam in China using Infraworks and Civil 3D URL....

During the first 25 secs or so, there is a sequence showing a disposal area created in Civil 3D but with a texture that isn't the draped aerial image (and there are further examples of this elsewhere).

How does one get surfaces etc that aren't derived from a corridor to show in this way in Infraworks. There doesn't seem to be any workflow in the available information to address non linear projects.

Additionally the 3ds Max workflows seem to be geared up for linear projects e.g. roads only - any tips for non linear projects e.g. earthworks platforms?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subdivision Design Workflow

Sep 13, 2012

Conceptual design process for a new subdivision with say 100+ lots, and 5-6 roads within it. 

What I'd like is to learn a workflow that lets me adjust the alignments/profile with a minimum amount of effort to re-layout 100+ lots, and which lets us explore design options more interactively.  Once we pin down a few alignment options, I would create a simple corridor with multiple baselines to develop the grading concept.

One thing that irks me so far is that the Create ROW command is nice, but it's not dynamic to the alignments.How do you handle cul-de-sacs on this process?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Elevation Design Value Is Greyed Out

May 31, 2013

I am pretty new to subassemblies and corridors and I think I have the jist of it but I have a few questions.

How do I lower stations of my corridor? I am making a grassed waterway and my corridor seems just ride on the surface.  I get to the parameter editor but the elevation design value is grayed out, so I can't change it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting Design Data To Trimble?

Aug 8, 2013

We're moving to Trimble Access on the survey data collectors which means that we have to export design data using Trimble Link and then use Trimble Business Center to examine the data and do any editing before sending it to the field.

So far I've found that alignments, profiles and surfaces seem to transfer OK.  Corridors however have been an almost total failure.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Design Profile PVIs Disappearing?

Dec 15, 2013

Working in Civil 3D 2014 SP1 I have a Design Profile that I have created by setting the Existing Profile to 'Static' and Creating a Copy of the Existing Profile... This leaves me with a Design Profile that follows the Existing Surface. The problem begins when I delete a section of PVI's and introduce new 'Design PVI's'... I have found that at apparently random times my Design PVI's have been lost and replaced with the original copied PVI's that follow the Existing Surface. This has occurred more than once and I can't find any reason as to why this may be occurring...?

Currently using Civil 3D 2013 & 2014 SP1

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Approach A Full Evaluation Design

Nov 18, 2013

i have a site which has a mound in the middle, and quite a few drainage swales running downhill from it, radiating in all directions. i want to calculate a rough estimate of how much fill is required to fill in all those swales (roughly). picture that the existing ridgeline "noses" will be left as is, and the valleys in between are the ones that I want to fill in. the project boundary (toe of slope) is the elevation that I want to hold.

i tried grading tools, and corridors as well, but could not come up with a good way to do this. what I ended up doing is i laid out some feature lines that follow the existing ridgelines down the hill (the banks of the swales), then created a feature line of the project boundary (draped on EG), and a feature line at the top of the mound as the highest elevation, created a TIN from those feature lines so that it triangulates across the swales, and then ran a volume comparison. not the best way i know, but could not think of a better way at that moment.
