AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Extend A Surface To Outer Boundary
May 21, 2013I use Civil 3D 2011. I have created a surface from a point group. Now i want to extend the surface to an outer boundary. To do so, i do the following steps:
- Select the surface and Extract the border object.
- Create feature line from the extracted border polyline
- offset this feature line (featureoffset) to outside specifying a offset distance and specifying the elevation difference as 0.
- Add this offseted new featureline as the boundary in the definition of the surface
- Rebuild the surface
Now when i am selecting the surface, I see that the featureline is not a part of the surface and I do not find the contours and the TIN extending to this new boundary. Also I still find the old border in the surface.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create A Custom Surface
Mar 24, 2013I have been trying to research how to create a custom surface. I found this article [URL]...... about how to to create a surface from a jpeg. The article says to "expand color on the top left." of the style editor. However, when I open the dialogue there is no "color" that can be expanded. The only thing in the top left of dialogue box is "lighting." Is there another step that the article misses, or is there another way for me to create a surface from a jpeg?

Feb 3, 2012Having issues on a laptop with Inventor 2012. Inventor will let the user create a new project folder on the C drive but not on their personal network drive. The user does have all needed permissions to use their network space, but Inventor is not allowing a project folder to be created on on the networked drive.
We have desktops on which project folders can be successfully created on the network drive. Only the laptop seems to be affected by the issue.
Am I missing a simple check box somewhere in Inventor?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Create New File In 2012
Mar 31, 2012I have recently installed Inventor Professional 2012 Student Version, and I'm unable to create a new file, as the program crashes as I try to do so.
After starting Inventor, I select New than Standard.ipt. The file starts loading, the status of the loading process can be seen in the bottom left corner, than the "Open Documets in Session" counter in the bottom right corner changes from 0 to 1, as it should, I guess. And than, the program freezes. Sometimes, a message appears after several minutes that an error has occured, and that I should send an error report to Autodesk (which I did); but sometimes, no message appears at all, it simply crashes.
My computer specs are: Intel Core 2 @1,86 GHz, 2 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 9800 GTX, 60 GB free space, Windows Vista (hotfix installed) Not a powerhouse, but I think it should be able to start a file properly I think, if I understand the system requirements correctly.
AutoCad 3D :: Extend A Mesh Onto Another To Create A Solid
Aug 29, 2013Using AutoCAD 2014 I'm trying to model the tummy cut on the back of a guitar similar to this:

Aug 2, 2012Trying to patch and then sculpt an area on a pipe so that it blends together better, however it keeps coming up with an error. The strange thing is, it shows up in the preview after selecting all the edges but then does not calculate correctly.
Basically trying to fill the 2 small areas between the visible workplanes. Also, I couldn't get the project cut edges in the 2 sketches to only project the curves I needed, so all the cylinder edges are projected.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Surface Bodies From Multiple Faces?
Dec 27, 2013I've currently written an application for SolidWorks that reads file that geometry in the form of faces (ie. 3 or 4 double values that represent triangular and quadirilateral faces). I am trying to create the same application to work for Autodesk Inventor, but I am having some issues.
First, I am basing my code off from the examples given in the help files. There's a lot of pointers to objects being to get to the Face creation portion, this seems to be slowing my appliation down considerable compared to the SolidWorks counterpart. SolidWorks API has a modelling method called CreatePlanarSurfaceDLL that allows me to provide an array of doubles representing the vertex points in order (x, y, Z) for each point, so the array looks like this for a triangle (P1.X, P1.Y, P1.Z, P2.X, P2.Y, P2.Z, P3.X, P3.Y, P3.Z). Is there anything similar in the Inventor API to simply the process?
Secondly, when using the example, they all have a known "shape" and therefor there are a definied number of vertices, edges, faces, etc. And when adding the faces, the known points / vertices are used. In my case, each face contains information for it's 3 or 4 vertices. I created these using the prescribed methods, but when the final surface body feature is created, and a repair is performed on it, it shows a lot of duplicate edges and vertices. Do I need to take the time and filter out all of the duplicate vertices, and point to a single vertex that may represent a vertext used by up to 3 or 4 faces?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Surface Coil Along Curved Path

Aug 1, 2013What is the best way to create a workplane at a given angle on the surface of the tube. Imagine the workplane long and thin running along the surface of the tube. The angle will be a parameter (from a sketch or user).
I'd like the workplane to always be on the surface of the tube, even when the diameter of the tube (from a dimension in a sketch) changes.I'm thinking that a (angled) line in the same sketch as the two circles (which define the tube diameter and thickness) would be a good starting point.
AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 - Create Ordinate Sets From Opposite Edges Without Multiple Zeros?
Jul 5, 2012I'm detailing a simple square plate with a good number of holes in it. I create an ordiate set running vertically along the LH edge and select the holes that are close to that side. Origin is the lower LH corner. Works great, easy.
The holes that are closer to the RH side though I'd like to show on that side. So I go to create a second ordinate set for the RH side and choose the lower RH corner as the origin and choose my holes that are close to that edge. The 2nd set will automatically show a second "0.000" dimension on the bottom edge and I can't supress it by right clicking.
Is there a better way to do this? What I've done now is to not use a set but just choose ordinate dimension and go from the opposite edge, which works.... But alignment is better with a set.
AutoCAD Inventor :: True Purpose Of Create Curved Mesh Element In 2012 Simulation
May 30, 2012Below is my test procedure for "Create Curve Mesh Element" by Inventor simulation 2012.
1. I made a box 100(W)X100(D)X20(H) with 2xR20 (mm) fillets at the opposite edges.
2. I copied a box I made for making 2 type mesh.
3. I made mesh on the box without "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374
Element number: 1365
4. I made mesh another model with "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374 (same number, not increase)
Element number: 1365
Mesh shape is different(please refere attachiment jpeg file).
I think that "Create Curved Mesh Element option" is not for making second tetrahedron elements.But I cnanot the true porpose of "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.For only P method, not H method?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Cut Fill Surface From Existing Surface
Mar 1, 2013Im 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.

Sep 9, 2013I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part. I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.
How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?
Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?
I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.
The attached jpg shows the intersection in question. I circled it.
