AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Location-based Compute Materials Corridor Shape?

Sep 19, 2011

I'd like to build a location-based quantity takeoff using compute materials (actually using a mix of QTO, composite volumes, and maybe parcels and bounded volumes but this question is specific to compute materials). I have been working on this technical challenge today and hope to have it solved by tomorrow morning.

I created a new 'Quantity Takeoff Criteria' and added materials for the items I'd like to takeoff with compute materials, such as the corridor shape volumes that are not well handled by QTO. So there are structure quantity types for materials Pave1, Base1, Curb, RW.Footing, Wall, and Barrier. But, when I return to Compute Materials I have the option to assign 1 object to each corridor shape named. Here is the problem, there are 36 pave objects named Pave1 and only 1 material Pave1.

The solution I tried is to go back and edit the code set styles to add a location prefix like 99CL1>M>06 to the link names - making 36 99CL1>*>**-Pave1 objects. But, apparently these are links and obviously not objects so the names did not go through to the compute materials objects list.

The next two approaches are: 1) Go back to the subassembly properties and edit the codeSetStyle with prefixes - I assume this means I'd need a distinct subassembly for each location, a unwieldy situation. 2) Create a specific material and shape pair for each location, for example 36 99CL1>*>**-Pave1 material and Pave1 shape pairs. An awkward workaround but preferable to defining a specific subassebly to each location.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Subcriteria In Compute Materials

Sep 14, 2011

I am having issues having two separate areas combined into one with subcriteria. While I can get them to figure independently of each other (see image 1) I need to have them combined into a single fill category. While I think I am using the subcriteria interface correctly I can’t find an example of a way to set it up to work correctly (see image 2).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Compute Materials Top Surface Will Not Show Up?

Jul 11, 2012

testing out using link to marked point and volumes i made a 1000' alignment, flat surface at 0, and put a generic lws 10' wide at 0% slope so i would know the real vol in my head to check. i omitted the lws link and then put a marked point at the center of the subassy and then put a linktomarked point and it put the link in ok as shown in the picture. the corridor made a top surface and if i make a vol surface all is correct.

but when i hit the comput materials > earthworks only the eg shows up.

the linktomarked point has top,datum codes by default.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Compute Materials Lists And Separate Cut / Fill And Material Only Reports?

Dec 5, 2012

I need to run two reports one for Cut and Fill, and one for Materials (shapes). I would like two material lists for the same alignment and sample line group.

The process, setup the materials list for Pave, Base, and Subbase. Generate report, delete list and setup for Cut and Fills, run the report. You do this over and over. Autodesk please add a way to save and import these setups, and a way to create multiple lists for each alignment and sample line group.

Note: Why the Civil 3d default for the interlude into the actual Compute Materials dialogue is Pave, Subbase, Base is beyond me, could someone tell the programmers that Subbase is generally below Base. Each time I have to delete the CIvil 3D defaults and redo this step.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corridor Materials List And Volume Report

Nov 6, 2013

I am trying to get a material volume report for a corridor structure. The overall dirt cut fill is working, but the pavement and base keeps showing up as zero.

I started with the surfaces made, (perhaps that’s the problem,) I made an alignment, used an assembly, made a profile, and sample lines, made the corridor. The assembly draws  in the cross sections, but the materials report shows zero in the pavement and stone.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Copy Corridor Or Corridor Station Values Only?

Dec 13, 2012

Copy a corridor successfully? I'd like to try this just a little worried about the explosion of evil this may cause to my Civil 3D session.

Even all the properties of the corridor setup from one to another would be useful. I'm building one corridor and an 2nd one that matches everything except I need to replace my Assembly with one meant for stripping.

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

Mar 21, 2013

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 Map 3D :: Buffering Around 3D Line And Compute Volume

Sep 4, 2012

I have several hypothetical well bore lines. They are deviated wells which means the lines go straight down from the surface for a bit and then continue down at an angle. I need to buffer these lines in 3D space.

I've used the buffering topologies tool, but all it get is a buffer around the what would be the "plan" view of the well bore. Is there anyway to get the program to buffer around the actual 3D line and compute a volume?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Gap In Corridor

Jun 13, 2013

C3D 2014

when I created a Top surface, C3D showed me otherwise. I need a gap at an intersection. In the attached DWG the intersection corridor has been removed from view by isolate.

I used 2 seperate baselines to force the road corridor to have a gap at the intersection.

Looked OK .. except ..later .. when I created a Top surface, only the first baseline is used to create the surface, the second baseline is skipped   : (

I obviously did not make a gap correctly. What is the correct way? Or.. is there no way .. must the designer create multiple seperate corridors when the road has gaps?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Batch Editing Pipe Materials

Sep 27, 2012

I have a drawing with at least 100 pipes in it.  Unfortunately there was an error in the spelling of the pipe material in the network parts list and all of these existing pipes have to be edited.  The only way that I can find to access the material property is to open the property dialog for each pipe and fix it one at a time.

Any other solution that would allow us to batch edit a series of pipe material properties?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Get A Continuous Corridor

I have a very basic question about creating corridors. As you can see on the attachment, i created an assembly consisting of ditch and my own polyline subassembly and turned it into a corridor.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: DWF Corridor Quality

Dec 29, 2013

I started playing around with 3d dwf's. I'd like to share my corridors in a 3d dwf viewer or something similar but when it opens in design review, everything is skewed/ jagged/garbled. The other problem is that it exports everything (assemblies, alignments, sections  etc.) so it make viewing navigation difficult in the viewer for people that aren't CAD savvy to begin with. It would be ideal if you could select what you want to export similar to exporting a wmf file.

How do others share 3d models with non-cad people?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Corridors With Multiple Materials In Different Subassemblies

Apr 3, 2013

I am trying to set up a corridor with multiple materials with multiple pavement sections.  For example, I have concrete and asphalt surface pavement, about 4 different kinds of base material and 2 different sub base materials to use.  It doesn't seem like you can get quantities divided up like that.  It seems like you can only get the 'base' material counted up with the quantities and you can only assign one material to it.  Is the answer to create multiple corridors for each pavement type that has their own Code Set to assign to each corridor?

Photoshop :: Expanding/contracting In The Same Location To Form Smooth Edges Shape

Nov 7, 2002

Hi im a newbie in photoshop. heres my queries. I want to make a a big circle and a smaller circle in the same point of location just like using offset path cmd in adobe illutrator using select modify contract or expand cmd.I selected a circular marquee with the size of 6cm x 6cm and filled it w/a color.while selection is active i contracted it w/ the amount of 4pix and filled it with another dif. color the result is smooth edges, but when i contracted it again by a bigger amount like 24pix it looks distorted.I think there is a technique in doing it. Can you help me guys?Just remember i want to know if contraction or expansion in ps has the same principle with the offset path cmd in ai. because the offset path cmd in ai produces smooth edges even if u enlarge it in any possible amt.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Topography Intervals Based On Slope

I'm covering a roughly 5000 x 5000 sq ft area with a partially built landfill on it and a rather changing surrounding topography.
