AutoCad 3D :: Surface Twists Instead Of Drawing A Cylinder
Apr 30, 2013when I try to use rulesurf between 2 circles on an angled plane, the surface twists instead of drawing a cylinder.

View 2 RepliesI would like to know how can put planar surface to solid object which surface is curved like cylinder for example. When start draw from first point rectangle of planar surface follow x cordinate not that solid object. How to do that simply?

I'm trying to put the cylinder which shares a space between a wedge and a region but I'm unable to subtract it.

I'm trying to slice the grey cylinder object in the attached drawing with a curved network surface. Rather than slice around the path of the surface it seems to have just taken a planar slicing plane between the 2 vertical edges of the network surface.
I am developing an assembly, however it needs to move a cylinder to find a specific surface.
How do I determine through simulation that dynamic surface will collide with one another?
I want to wrap label on the cylindrical shape object.

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.
In inventor 2013 I want to extrude a horizontal circle on surface of a bigger vertical hollow cylinder. but what i did it enters into cylinder, and i only want to extrude it on external surface.

If I move the thigh or calf, it doesn't matter, the mesh starts to spinning around the bone of the calf and I just don't know how to fix this.
The spinning is almost not to see if the thigh gets moved though. I attached two pics and hope that the problem will get more clear that way.
at the following location is an image that contains some strokes of faint white stripes.
How are these stripes done? I did thinkl that it was a shape used by a brush, but as you can see, it twists, sso I doubt its that.
I'm using AutoCad 2007. I'm trying to map a simple 2D flat drawing onto a curved surface.
I have a 3D drawing of a very simple curved floor, similar to a skateboard ramp or a photographers infinity curve backdrop. I also have a 2D design. I simply want to drop my 2D drawing onto this curve, so that it follows the geometry of the curve's surface.
I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 and have a question about creating a surface. Firstly, I know how to create a surface and then add contours, how to add a boundary to the surface, and how to draw a polygon around contours and trim everything out and then create a surface of what's remaining but how can I create a surface from contours within a polygon I draw without trimming any contours out? That way I can have a smaller surface to work with but still have additional contours all around it.

Is there a way to make a base view always look at a surface and follow that surface so that the view on the drawing always looks the same?
For example: If I had a dice and I create a base view of the two dots side of the die. If I roll the die I still want to see in the base view the two dots side of the die in the same orientation.
Can I do that? I want to import a surface from another drawing to my design drawing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI customized a surface style to show relative elevations, with lighter tones representing higher elevations, and darker tones representing lower elevations. With a single glance, I know the high and low spots in my project area.
C3d provides several default surface elevation styles. None of them comes close to providing the instant, data-at-a-glance information that my customized style does, which I use to design stormwater systems. Again, it's really useful to see, with one look, where the high and low spots are in my project area.
I can't figure out how to export, transfer, copy, whatever, my customized style from one drawing to a new drawing. If I want to see my customized style, I have to recreate it from scratch in each and every drawing where I want to use it.
How to transfer a surface style from one drawing to another? By the way, I tried opening up both drawings, with both toolspace/settings windows open. Tried dragging and dropping the customized style to the new drawing. Didn't work.
i am trying to add as a breakline. i have not been able to get this particular line to work as a breakline and the surface keeps drawing triangles through the line like its not even there. The figure properties show that it is a breakline. The figure prefix database brings the line style in as a breakline from the start.

Everything is fine, except for the drawing with the surface is still referencing the XML file. What is the best method to remove this reference and have the surface fully contained in one file?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on roadway project where I am using Pipe Networks to layout the drainage infrastructure. I have set my working dwg up so that I am data referencing the existing surface and proposed alignment. I have set my pipe network up so that it is also referencing this surface and alignment. Everything was working fine. Labels were pulling the correct information from my surface elevations, and stations were being referenced as well, until I got a message that recommended that I recover my drawing.
I ran recover and my surface and alignment data shortcut disappeared. My pipe network now shows questions marks where there were once stationing and it appears that the surface and alignment have completely disassociated themselves from my drawing, however they appear in the prospector, but cannot be refreshed. Again the data shortcut symbol is no longer next to my surface and alignment, but there is a symbol telling me that those objects are being referenced by another object in my drawing (my pipe network). I have tried refreshing, resetting the working folder, all to no avail.
How can I make sure the annotated surface labels spot elevations from my 3d design drawing which is being xrefed into a new Precise Grading Breakout Sheet plots screened?
The Label Style which I created for the annotated surface label spot elevations has all its properties set to be ByLayer for example its color and lineweight. The Layer I assigned the Label Style was assigned to a layer with a color and plot style that should plot any object screened. Color 8 and Plot Style Screened.
What other steps am I missing to assure myself that this Label Style will plot screened in my new Precise Grading Breakout Sheet?
I also made sure that the xref drawing in which this Surface spot elevation has the correct colors and lineweights and Plot Styles in my new Precise Grading Breakout Sheet.
Finally just got updated to 2014, and I cannot draw a CV curve on a surface. It immediately crashes.
I tried using Direct3D and OpenGL. No dice.
When rotating an object that will put any part of it outside the drawing surface, I get the following error-
Object position specified was not on drawing surface
This was never a problem for me with prior versions of Draw. Is there an option to allow Corel to do so with X6? The only workaround I've found is to temporarily increase the size of the work area, which is a bit of a pain when you're dealing with labels, not just page size.
New information: Just discovered that, if I group all elements, I can rotate them. The bug only occurs if I select (but don't group) them.
Why this message? Why do I have to "draw inside the lines"? I don't even have the boundries of a paper on my surface, so I don't know where the border is. How can I fix this?
What I tried to do here was rotating a small object 90°.
I was wondering if there's a way, in Xara, to make a drawing look like it's been carved or etched into a stone surface. I've been messing around, trying to discover this for myself, but no luck so far.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am getting this error in my production drawings.
My setup is as follows:
- EG.dwg has my existing surface in it. I create a data reference to use it in other drawings.
- Level One.dwg has the EG surface data referenced in, and I use this to create alignments, profiles, and finish surface. All of these are turned in to data references.
- Storm Sanitary.dwg has my pipe designs. I data reference in the two surfaces, profiles, and alignments, and create pipe networks. I create references for these networks.
- Plan Profile.dwg is the production sheet I'm getting this error from. Every one of my civil objects is data referenced in to this drawing. Everything is inserted correctly, the pipes show correct FG surface elevations for their rims, etc.
BUT when I open this drawing, I get this error. I assume it's because my FG surface is not directly in the storm sanitary.dwg.
How do I get rid of this error, without combining drawings, or promoting the surface to one or more drawings? Isn't this exactly what data references is made for?
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?
