AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Paste With Interior Borders?

Jan 14, 2013

I have one surface (surveyed pts) that I would like to paste onto another larger surface (say a LIDAR or GIS base). The extents of the small surface are entirely within the extents of the larger surface. The small surface does, however, have some interior areas without any data ('holes' if you will). In these areas, I want the paste operation to result in just the original base surface... but the paste operation assumes I want the new composite surface to also have a hole...

Screen shot illustrating attached with example surfaces. Is there a way to paste only the surface and not the holes?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Paste - Error Performing Edit?

Apr 20, 2011

I am working in Civ2010 and want the paste a site surface to my corridor surface.   However, when I try to do this, I get an error saying "Error performing edit".  I do not know what error is occurring in order to fix it.  I have done this with a few other sites within the same drawing and they pasted just fine to the corridor surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Clipboard Copy - Paste Does Not Work Fine

Mar 20, 2013

You can copy both the surface and the original (in this case contour polylines) data or only the surface. In both cases paste operation results into a copy of both data and surface.

Ok, But when paste and rebuild, the distance from original base point and destination point is applied in turn to the surface itself. Maybe it is a BUG ?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Correct / Manipulate Surface To Show Proper Flat Surface

Dec 2, 2011

I often have to do storm pond surfaces that (for the purposes of planning) are flat on the bottom. These surfaces are created from a combination of survey data and grading groups and the tin of these surfaces is perfectably acceptable. However, when contours are shown, the flat bottom is shown with contours jig-jagging all over the place.

The attached image shows a comparison of the same pond. The top was created with survey data and grading groups; the bottom was created using contour data only. The generated surface on the top shows the bottom contour going in different directions and has parts where the an expected contour is missing.

How to correct/manipulate the surface to show a proper flat surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reduced Maximum Length For Surface Triangles Causes Surface Holes

Oct 22, 2012

Has instances where you set your tolerance for the maximum triangle lenth to say 50m to reduce the amount of triangles along the edge that run at long distances. When I do this I end up with multiple surface holes and I'm not sure why as there are points in the area.

I thought well maybe it's because i should've reduced my max triangles first then added breaklines. Would this matter? I also thought I could add a line to the surface to fix the holes vs. deleting surface lines along the entire edge of a surface for many many miles.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing Existing Surface Using Edit Surface Command

Nov 14, 2012

I am trying to add points into a surface. I have done this before without any problems, but now I am having issues.

When I ID points which makes up the surface it gives me the correct Z level e.g. 24.5m, however when I hover over the surface it shows me the surface name and a different z level e.g. 0.65m. What is the reason for this difference in z levels? I think this may be causing the issue I am having when I add new points.

I select the surface and use the 'edit surface command' in the ribbon, choosing add point. 

When I add a point at the level I require(23.89m), it puts it in a lot higher than the surrounding area, so I tried to put the point in to the lower z levels (0.4m) it puts it in a lot lower!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Volume Bounded By Existing Surface And Design Surface

Dec 10, 2012

My goal is coming up with the volume bounded by the design surface and the existing surface. I don't have the design surface modeled yet.

Do i need to create alignment offsets?. Alignment 1 profile view is also attached. Then Alignment2.

What about starting with alignment1 profile view? Since I have created a polyline as the design profile ?

how do I shrink labels? Where is it in the settings ; the Align folder had been check.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add A Surface To Blank Drawing / Then Upload DEM Files To Surface

Oct 2, 2012

I am issues with DEM files that I am downloading from the USGS website.I download 24k, elevation for the area I need. I then choose staged 1 second, add a surface to a blank drawing, then upload the DEM files to the surface.

The surface imports correcty, but when I try to import  points taken by a surveyor on the same drawing, they plot incorrectly.The DEM surface and the points from the surveyor do not correspond. Also, the DEM surface is in meters, not feet. I have tried changing drawing settings, datum types, coordinate types, etc.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Surface Into Revit To Merge Surface And Buildings Together?

Jul 29, 2013

I have a project involving 3 programs. I am creating a planned development in 3d to be 3d printed when finished. The project is a 5 acre tract containing 8 buildings. I have built the surface in C3D and each building in Revit. The buildings are not in the same Revit file. For my solid work, I will bring the files over into 3ds Max Design to section into smaller quadrants to build in the 3d printer.

The questions:

Would it be better to import the surface into Revit to merge surface and buildings together?

Would it be better to import the buildings into C3D to merge entities?

Would it be better to bring those entities into 3ds Max and then merge them into one? Will 3ds Max Design allow me to insert entities accurately in the environment?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Subset Surface From Main Surface

Sep 15, 2013

I need to create a sub-set surface from my main surface. not sure what the vernacular is for a "subset surface" in c3d but i do have a feature line that bouinds the desired area, but that is as far as i can solve.

i did try creating a new surface - pasted the main surface in the edit definition, then deleted triangles until the boundary alighned wiht my featureline.  This seemed to work, but  when i view the properties of the smaller subset suface, it shows a mimum and maximum elevation that is incorrect.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Cut Fill Surface From Existing Surface

Mar 1, 2013

Im currently using an addon for Civil 3D called Novapoint. It allows me to create 3D models of surfaces made out of 3d faces and easily models cut and fill 3d-models for me.

The only thing i need to create a cut and fill model is one or several ground surfaces (existing ground, earth layers, rock etc. whatever i need) and a closed polyline/3Dpolyline that represents the level I want my cut and/or fill model.

I enter the spcifications I want such as; earth cut angle, rock cut angle, fill angle, select which surfaces i want to include in the model calculation and select the polyline.Novapoint then calculates the cut/fill model from the surfaces to the polyline and models the different cut/fill angles and gives me the results in a 3d-face model and a specification of the volyme of rock cut, earth cut an fill.

1. Novapoint is quite unstable and crashes alot

2. You cant create profiles out of 3d faces

3. Novapoint does not automaticly combine the start surfaces with the modeled cut/fill surface

4. A large surface made out of 3d-faces demands alot of computer power 

So I want to how I do the same that Novapoint does for me in Civil 3D? (I have access to Civil 3D 2007-2013 depending on which one you're using)I know I can take the 3Dfaces i created in Novapoint and make a surface in Civil 3D with them but I want to exclude Novapoint completely.

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

Mar 6, 2012

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 :: Trim Surface To Another Surface

May 3, 2013

I was wondering if there is an easy way to trim one surface to another.  Right now, I have two slopes (3:1) that are perpendicular to each other. They meet at a corner and I have extended them past each other so that I could see the intersecting edge.  Now I would like to trim them to each other like you would a polyline etc... but I am not sure how to do this.

If I select surf trim, it tells me they are the wrong object type, but they are tin surfaces?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Boundary Only Showing Portion Of Surface Within The Boundary

Oct 24, 2012

I used a 2d polyline to create a surface boundary for a surface created.  The polyline is a closed loop.  For the boundary type it is outer, unchecked Non-destructive breakline, and mid-ordinate distance = 1.

My problem is that when I do this I only get a small portion of the surface to show up within my surface boundary.  If I don't have a surface boundary the entire drawing surface shows up no problem.

The purple polyline is my boundary and the light blue is the surface created within the boundary.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Copy / Paste Latency

Jul 18, 2013

Me and some fellows at work have been noticing a significant increase in the time it takes to copy with base point and paste into a different drawing file. Maybe it is just the 2012 version of the software , what has changed or how to minimize the time this takes. I don't see any reason it should take up to a minute to copy a few polylines from one drawing to the next.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Will Now Not Paste Into Drawing

May 20, 2013

I'm working a drawing orginally developed in C3D 2013 and am now working in 2014.  I have developed a speadsheet in Excel 2007 and have link pasted a portion of a worksheet into my drawing.  Later, i have to re link paste the same portion of the worksheet after making some edits and the object will now not paste into the drawing.I have tried the following without sucess:

-Load drawing into C3D 2013 and try to paste

-Load drawing into C3D 2014 on another machine and try to paste

-Save excel spreadsheet as a .xls file instead of .xlsx and try to paste

-Run audit in 2014 (no errors) and try to paste

Other drawings loaded into 2014 work OK when link pasting.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Paste Special Crash When Pasting From PDF?

Jul 11, 2013

About 50% of the time, when I take a screenshot of part of a pdf (using acrobat's screenshot tool) when I go to paste it into C3d, I choose paste special, and then image object, and the screen goes pale and I get the C3d has encountered an error and needs to close message.

I have installed the latest hotfix which was recommended after a save to dxf crash this morning but  just had it crash out again with a paste special.

When this crash happens, it never asks me to send in a report.

I am using C3d 2013. the 64bit version, on Win7 pro 64 bit SP1,Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40ghz and 3.40ghz.  16gb RAM, and AMD FirePro V5900 2gb graphics card.

The computer should be able to cope, but I find that it lags if I just insert whole pdfs and I usually only need a bit of the image.

Is there anything I can do apart from always convert the pdf into a jpg first?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Shortcuts Versus LandXML / Copy And Paste

Mar 21, 2013

We're working on a project which is causing me to question our management  "system" (more like lack there-of). There are about 4 Existing Surfaces and 3 Design surfaces, and a half dozen or so drawings needed to show the various elements of this construction project. In the past we've done either copy and paste to show the same surface in different layouts or had a number of layout tabs. (Which quickly get pretty annoying if you're trying to show too much "different stuff" in each layout.

Looking at Data Shortcuts...we've never used them. When we have to make last minute changes everything automatically "updates" right? And the drawings should load faster and crash less because they're not so huge, right? The only Major Drawback I see is this: we use one person's workstation as the server" so two of us refer to the M drive path and one refers to the C drive path. Would this just screw everything up as it does when we have xref images? (Have to relocate the file path every single time the C drive person saves the file in order to see the image) I understand using "relative path" should fix this, but I haven't had much success with it.

And LandXML export/import, what exactly is the difference between this and a Data Shortcut?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface From Grade

Jul 28, 2013

I'm working on a grading plan which excavates down from just outside the waterline of an existing pond. When I create a surface from the grading, it looks like a whole bunch of strange break lines have been added, messing up the surface. I thought it might be the mid ordinate distance but changing that doesn't seem to fix it it. Interestingly, when I grade from the original waterline, this doesn't seem to happen.

Here is my workflow, a picture of the result is shown below.

1. Turned the current waterline into a feature line.
2. Created new feature line by offsetting outside that feature line by 3.16 ft.
3. From new feature line, grade down 10 feet at 3:1
4. Create new surface using grading.

The grading lines (shown in white) look correct. But when I create the surface (green and yellow), it is all messed up.
