I have a surface and i have the outer border of a pond i want to create (see attachments). What makes it difficult for me is that different areas of the pond have different slopes. The area marked as "A" has a slope of 1:5, the are has a slope of 1:2 and the rest of the pond has a slope of 1:1.
My problem: I do not know how to grade the borderline so i end up having a surface with different slopes as my pond.
I can create pond quick profile,but it can not be saved.
if I press the section view command ,it tells me no alignment .you know ,I only create pond without any alignment .I only created pond by grading .so I don't know how to create pond section.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a label for slopes in cross sections for a surface created from breaklines using gade breaks as you can not weed segment labels
I am weeding the labels out based on the change in grade of the section profile and making the label text high very small of the labels I do not want to see. But the first label returns ??? because there is no grade coming in so I get ??? instead of something usefull like null. Any way to convert?? to something you can evaluate and use.
Is there a way to create hatching for the slopes surface style instead of using solid colors?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a manure storage pond that I am trying to figure out the total storage volume for. It has 2.5:1 Side slopes and a 10 foot wide ramp at 10:1 entering the pond to the floor bottom. I am trying to figure out what the volume of this pond is. What is the fastest and most efficient way to get this volume? I do not want it compared to any other surface such as existing ground.

I have been trying to add the entry point for days.
I am designing a retention pond in an existing surface. I set the base of the pond and execute the grading at the desired slope and it generates the pond just fine, with the exception of rounded corners. I need the corners to be square, mitered corners instead of the round.

I'm designing a wrap for a hummer. My client wants it to look like the hummer has a force field and show a few bullets hitting the truck and causing a ripple. I googled this and found out that the "zig zag" filter under "distort" does this. Only problem is, this option is greyed out on my comp. It could be that my project file is half a gigabite (required for the size of printing on the truck).

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter crating my squared pond (or waste landfill for that matter) I runned a cross section from an alignment running across the the entire pond. The cross section did not show the bottom of the pond. I noticed that I forgot to do an infill to the bottom of the pond so I did it. But, still the bottom of the pond its not showing up in the cross section, just the side slopes. Do I have to delete the alignment across the pond and recreate it? That is probably the only thing I have not done. BTW, I have an access road coming down the side of the pond with a corridor created already and is not showing up neither on the cross section.
PD: I am running Civil 3D 2012!
I have a small site where i've essentially designed a storage pond. I've cut 3.0m off the original ground at a 2:1 slope and built a berm at a 2:1 fill slope to a designed elevation. I've managed to balance the site to zero. The contour drawing I have shows elevations - which is great - however the client has asked to see the contours showing a Fill or Cut label from the original ground.

1 - The square helicopter pad is flat and grading with 2:1 fill, 1:1 cut.
2- The second FL is 2% slope down and grading with 2:1 fill, 1:1 cut.
3- The third FL is slope down to meet the existing road, both sides will same cut and fill.
Attached is my 1st project using SSA for detention pond design.
Where is the best place to view the results for the detention pond peak outflow and maximum HGL?
Also, the program seems to separate the results per year storm...anyway to view the results for all year storms in the same report?
how do you attach the .spf file?

I am using Civil 3D 2012. I am drawing a water line in a profile with a vertical scale of 1" = 10'. I am trying to draw lines at 45 deg angles to account for standard fittings.
Now, I tried to block a 45 deg angle and exaggerate the y scale, but for some reason this does not work well mathematically. Is there a way to draw lies at a certain slope, or at a certain angle from another line, while taking into consideration the scale exaggeration?
I was wondering if it's possible to add surface slopes on grid (similar to how there is a tool for adding spot elevations on grid). I can do them individually at a grid spacing but that's tedious, and considering you can add spot elevations on a grid, I'm not sure why this wouldn't be possible.
If there isn't a built-in tool for this, would it be possible to make a block of a bunch of one-point spot slopes and you simply choose which surface & the insertion point when you insert the block?
I have a ditch and a road that need to follow separate profiles but be integrated with each other as a single corridor and the ditch's 3:1 slope needs to meet up with the road's 2% slope. Is it possible to have the two subassemblies target each other without having to create a dummy surface or a feature line for targeting to?

I was wondering if there is a way to create one roof with 2 different slopes like I have here? I would like it to start out at a 3/12 slope for the first 4 feet and then switch to a 6/12 for the rest of the roof. I have not been able to figure out how to get this to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe Need an expression to round Pipe Slopes to the nearest 0.5% slope. We were working with:
ROUND(({Pipe Slope}/0.5))*0.5

I am looking for either a corridor style or surface style to display slopes while in plan view while working on a corridor. I know you can turn on slope arrows as a surface style, but I am actually looking for the grade to be displayed next to a slope arrow. Hopefully I am explaining it properly.
I just am looking for a better way to spot errors before putting surfaces into machine control without checking station by station in the section editor.
I am new to Civil3D And I am using it for one purpose, Im working at producing planning drawings for solar farms, and the client has asked to me produce topographical surveys highlighting where the gradient or the slope is greater than 15 degrees. Is there someway i can use Civil 3d to do this?
Ideally im looking at producing a 3D Model which has shaded areas for the areas which are above 15 degrees. And Hopefully another shaded for areas between 15 and 10 degrees, 10 and 5 and 5 and 0
The topographical surveys i am downloading at the moment are from a site called promap and are DSM Type?
Our provincial standard requires subgrade and subbase surfaces to have a normal cross slope of -3%. The base and asphalt surfaces have a normal cross slope for the driving lane of -2% and -5% for the shoulder.
I have been trying to figure out how to do this in C3D. I have thought of different ways of handling this for a straight tangent, but have not tested them. What is causing me the most grief at the moment is how to handle this in a curve with super elevation.
The transition will be different for -2%, -3% and -5% Runout distances.
Can C3D handle this? What about using Subassembly Composer?
(I should mention that I have tried with Subassembly Composer, but I am not sure how to deal with superelevation. -
I just want to start by saying I have been extremely impressed with the speed and effectiveness of finding Civil 3D solutions through this forum. However I do not think there is a way to solve the problem below without making a custom sub assembly.
There is a common problem that I run into when modelling earthworks on airfields. All Taxiways and Runways will have sepirate areas that determine the slope of earthworks in that area. As an example I will explain my problem for a Runway.
Any ruwnay will have a Strip area (150m offset from its centreline) and a Clear and Graded area (105m offset from its centreline). Therefore any earthwork slopes between the runway pavement edge and 105m offset from the centreline will be determined by the requirements within the Clear and Graded Area. Likewise any earthwork slopes between 105m and 150m offsets from the centreline will be determined by the requirements of the Strip area.
My problem is that when overlaying a runway, the new earthworks required may extend beyond the clear and graded area (and into the strip) at some points but not in others.
Therefore I would like a sub assembly that does earthworks at a set slope unless it passes the clear and graded line where it would then continue the earthworks using a different slope. It should be pointed out that the clear and graded line will be present along the entire length of the runway and the earthworks may or may not extend beyond it.
Just for the sake of clarity, when I say earthworks, I mean the subassembly within autocad that will "Cut or Fill" at a set slope until it reaches a chosen surface level. Similarly the "clear and graded line" and "strip line" are 2D and mearly delineate the areas in plan.
save time and make my model more dynamic. As it stands I have been getting around this problem by modelling the earthworks at the initial slope (clear and graded area) and then manually amending the corridor to use a different assembly where the earthworks extend beyond the clear and graded line.
