AutoCAD Map 3D :: Polygon Data From Elevation Of Internal Points
Feb 9, 2012
I have thousands of polygons (and circles) which represent 2D foundation detail.
I have XY Location data (XLS, CSV etc) and Z's for the tops and bottoms of all these objects. (and hence, AutoCAD points)
I have used SHP data before (for the building footprints, and tops) whereby the top and base data is included in the data and I have use mapimport with change properties to thicken polylines and create quick 3D objects above ground.(This was created by others using a method similar to what I want, but in a competitors GIS...)
I need to do the same with the footings.
How can I create a "search" that says - for each polygon, look for a single point inside, and report its elevation and attached that to the polygon as data? Or, create a SHP of all these polygons with RL data queried of the internal point.
The points arent necessarily at centroid, which could be an issue. (Most are, however)
There is no keyID data between the polys and the points (so data joins wont work)
A friend did this very quickly for me in an ESRI Package, surely MAP can do the same!?
Map 3D 2012, and a monstrously powerful CAD workstation... just, er, not the knowledge to yet pull this off.

I have a need to find the lowest elevation inside of a small rectangular polygon (6'x7'), then assign the polygon to that elevation. This is fairly easily done manually with feature lines, however I need to repeat the operation about 3,000 times to create a design grid (therefore, not obliged to using all of the design budget to do so).
I employed the GIS department to run the analysis, which they can do, however they can't rotate the DEM grid output to match my project because it doesn't run parallel to north/south, thus skewing the results.

I'm having problems getting super elevation data to transfer to different drawings by means of an alignment data shortcut. I know alignments hold the super elevation data so I've gone into my alignments data shortcut, input my super elevation data, saved and closed. Now when I open my finished grade drawing, reference in my alignment and profiles, then create a corridor from that information, my super elevation didn't transfer with the reference.
I pulled cross sections and it appears is has no clue there is any super elevation data. Also, I tried bringing it directly into the drawing I'm doing my corridors in and it erred saying I must be in the parent alignment drawing. Data shortcuts are pretty much useless to me if super elevation data doesn't transfer.

Is there a way to define object data to a polygon or a poly line in C3d? I imported a shape file and saw that in the properties dialog box the object data of the polygons is displayed. I would like to define create new polygons and define certain atrributes to it before exporting it as a shape file. This would would eliminate the need to use a GIS program to define the attributes of the polygons.
Im using PCSWMM and would like to define certain atributes to polygons and polylines in C3D before i import it in to PCSWMM.

I have a number of 3D polylines that where exported from SDF previously created. They have numerous vertices, each one with a given elevation.
How can I create/highlight the higher and/or lower point in each 3D polyline??
A different solution would be automatically breaking these polylines in slope changing points (i.e. high or low points).
I understand that i can create points according to slope or elevation, but it has to be done manually, each poly at a time, and by tipping numeric values that i am sure that a powerfull software (as Civil 3D is) is able to calculate using the drawing information.

Im supposed to connect them like they're displayed in the picture. I did both of them separately but i just did all four to show how i want them. Im supposed to connect those two but when i press enter when im done, it disappears. Then use the insert edge loop tool to make the neck line smaller.
Both Pictures are the same. The second one just has backface cullin under display

I'm using the FILTER command to do this. I've added elevations 410, 420, 430, ect to the list, with a ** Begin AND at the start of the list, and a ** end AND at the end. Nothing gets selected.

Using Civil 3D 2013. I've exported my Civil 3D points to an SDF and then to a shapefile. I cant get the "Z" elevation to come with it. Northing and Easting is correct, only problem is that is holds a zero elevation. how I can get the elevations to show correctl in the shapefile?

I have a rather odd situation. I have input a small table of survey points (we don't have access to a data collector, so it had to be manual).
I have a properly located and back-sited setup, with all of the points located in 3 dimensions.
The Northing/Easting/Elevation data is calculated and displayed for all of the points in the "observations" table accurately.
Every point has the same display/labeling properties/settings, but only 2 points properly display the elevation as calculated.
The problem seems to be that the points aren't accurately retrieving the Elevation from the table.
For some reason, in the “Properties” dialogue for the points that display properly, the “Point Elevation” field actually contains a number; whereas the points that don’t, the same field reads “*PROPERTY NOT SET*”.
This makes no sense, because in the table that defines the points, the elevation is accurate for all of the points, and I can’t find a difference in the table- or in the point properties- between the correctly displayed points, and the ones that are missing the elevation label.

I recently upgraded from Civil 3D 2009 to Civil 3D 2014. In Civil 3D 2009 I was able to set the point style 3D modeling to flatten the point to a 0.00 elevation. In doing this I could move the point around freely using the nod grip without the elevation changing weather I used object snap or just freehand placed the point.
For some reason with 2014 when I grab the nod grip it changes the elevation to 0.00 as soon as I move it from the location it currently sits despite the fact that everything is set the same as it was setup for 2009. Is there a setting that I need to change to fix this or is there a new way to go about moving the point without using a bunch of different commands.

When creating surface profile Is civil 3D use interpolation to get elevation of unknown (points which not having elevation data) points?
Or just join elevations which have elevation data(input data)?

How to change the number of decimal places of the elevation of points?
as the points are labeled with their elevations, I couldn’t find how the number of the decimal places of the elevation be chosen. In this case, I wanted to let the number of the decimal places to be zero.
How to set the number of the decimal places to be zero or 1, for example? how to sepcify it height (size)?
Screenshot below.

Can you manually create a new cogo point and have it pick up the elevation from a 3D entity that you snap to?
I found this thread from 2010 that says no at that time.

Is this still not possible with C3D 2013?

As shown in the attached drawing, the station label where the superelevation transitions back into normal crown shows with 4 decimal places. We have verified that all precisions are set to 0.01ft. The normal crown station at the begin transition shows with 2 decimal places.

I am working on a flood inundation, I would like to find a lisp or command(i'm not finding) to connect two points with a given elevation following the surface file or surface entities.
here is a small section as example right now it's just guesswork, some of these have taken a week to connect all the sections.

Is there a setting for extruding polygons so it doesnt leave the original polygon.
When i extrude a polygon into a 3D solid, it extrudes fine but it also keeps the original polygon which means i have to delete it?

We sailed a ferry in North-West (US to Canada) and the GPS should better show the same elevation than: Its the waterline + elevation of the passenger deck.
Instead, LR displays a different elevation with every image, ranging from +9 feet to... -300 feet, and trust me, we did not turned into a submarine

Any way using autoCAD LT 2014 to get CAD to display the elevation heights of survey points without having to type the heights in text bozes next to each individual point. i can insert a field which displays the elevation of the point but doing this again i would have to do every point individually.
Another words is there a way to select all the survey points required and get CAD to display a certain property, which in my case is the elevation height of that survey point, next to it? so it looks like x 23.35 x 23.57 etc..

I have a Drawing "A" that is the source drawing containing the existing ground surface, topographic linework and features, and points in the Survey Database which are under the Survey tab.
I have a Drawing "B" that is the source drawing containing the Design alignment and profile with references to the data in Drawing "A" such as the surface.
If I create additional points for survey stakeout purposes within Drawing "B", will it automatically be included in the survey database in Drawing "A" along with all the other points or is there some procedure in order for me to continue adding additional points into the database from Drawing "B" or any other drawing that references Drawing "A"?

I use a Sokkia total station along with a data collector. I use this to bring measurement points in to another program that will draw a scaled map. I'm forced to use this other program and its supposed to be able to export the drawing into DXF format. It wont bring in the z coordinates. Is there a way I can use the total station to collect the points and then get them into AutoCAD 2013 so i can work my magic. Basically I draw crash scenes for a police department.

I am completely new to the forum and to Autocad. I am using version 2011.
I am working with irregular solids and after I SECTION them, I would like to export to a text file the data points that make up the perimeter of the sections.
Ideally, I would like to do it from the command line, but that's a secondary goal, first of all I would like to know how to do it.
