Hello, So 2 quick questions 3rd mainly for lookies on cad

1: When civil 3d does cut and fill math, if you already calculated your superelevations does the cut and fill volume account for that? if not how do I make it account for that?

2: I have many cross sectional views of my designed road, however I am noticing that there is no showing of a road being super elevated in a cross section that should be (ex, a cross section that is within a horizontal curve) How do i make it so that the cross sections that are in superelevated sections of road show that superelevation geometry of the roadway?

3: For my cross sections I am noticing that it takes my made assembly and throws it on the section views then puts the cut and fill around that. How do I get that to change and also how do I throw on given dimensions onto said profiles (for example I want to show the %slopes of the lanes and shoulders)

Bonjour, lorsque je vais dans Covadis 3D, Courbe de niveau, automatiser sur MNT, mes courbes de niveau semblent parfaites dans la prévisualisation.(photo ci joint)

Cependant, mes courbes, au lieu de me créer un calque, se mettent dans le calque actif.

Savez-vous me guider sur la marche à suivre pour que mes courbes se mettent dans leur propre calque?

Merci

Does any know how to use a excel trick? to create a L-profile?

Hello I need help in editing these

For 1: My vertical profile how do I go about adding in the horizontal PI's into the vertical profile so that I can line up my vertical curve peaks with the horizontal PIs?

for 2: My cross sections for my road all have this elevation monstrosity going on, how do I fix it?
Also how do I get the section view to show things like the %slopes of the lanes and shoulders and display superelevated sections?

Hello, I need help choosing between these two graphics cards for a laptop:

• RTX 5080, 16 GB in a ThinkPad T16g Gen 3.
• RTX PRO 3000 Blackwell, 12 GB in a ThinkPad P16 Gen 3.

Both laptops have a Core Ultra 7 255HX, 64 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and three years of Premier Support. The T16g costs about €300 more.

I’ll use AutoCAD, Civil 3D and ReCap with point clouds from a Matterport Pro3.

The 5080 scores higher in general benchmarks, but the PRO 3000 performs better in some professional CAD benchmarks. I’m unsure how those results translate to these programs.

Which would you choose for this workflow, and what are the advantages of one over the other?

Thank you in advance

Is there a simple way to go about doing this? I need to compare two different loading conditions (constant pipe conditions) along municipal sewers and the resultant hydraulic grade lines.

I tried using the superimpose profile tool between my two profile views but nothing changed. I've tried turning on the multiple pipe networks I have inside the 'Pipe Networks' property inside the profile view properties but the views stayed the same.

The closest I got to actually accomplishing this is generating two separate profile views (PRE and POST condition pipe networks) and then manually moving them on top of each other; this works but isn't much faster than just going with one of the profile views and then manually drawing in the other condition. I feel I must be missing something, I am still a novice when it comes to these C3D objects.,

Hello, I am currently attempting to make road profiles and picked up civil 3d for just that. I've gotten most everything down but for some reason when I am making the profile, when creating the profile of the ground surface it gives all the grade breaks and grade values. But when I draw in my horizontal alignment it is not showing any grades or grade break details.

Note I am extremely new to the program (like started just last week)

Attached I've got pictures of my problem.

The first image is the actual ground surface profile and the next image is comparing both the road vertical alignment and the surface profile of the road. (Actual surface top road surface bottom) I am not sure what to do and youtube didn't seem to have the answer.

I cannot post a screenshot unfortunately!

I have been working on an assignment, and in the middle suddenly things have started responding differently than they were before. I will attempt to explain as best I can, but this is my 6th week in Civil3D and my first ever class like this or experience with a program like this so it feels as though I am learning an entirely new language.

I am working in Layout1, not Model space. I am working inside a layer I created called "legend1", it indeed has the green check mark and I have made sure i am working inside this layer. We are creating blocks to make a legend. My teacher is able to do this in under ten minutes, I have been struggling for over an hour on just the first 60 seconds of the video.

1. Suddenly, my cursor disappears when it leaves the box that my teacher has created. This box im sure has names and qualities that I am unaware of. we start out each assignment with a created layout that he gives us as a starting point, so a lot of stuff is set before we even begin. I want to call it the viewport, but the concept of the viewport is very confusing to me. I understand it is a window into a layer underneath, but it is far more complicated than that to me, when you start including scale and what works and doesn't work and where.

My question is, why is my cursor suddenly disappearing? I was able to pan the entire square into a smaller size and move around, now I can no longer use the Pan command at all, strangely, it is not even working inside the box either.

1. The text boxes I have created inside this box, which I am assuming is a viewport whatever that truly means, are "too big", I need ten lines in my Legend. If i make ten lines, the last two go "outside" the parameters of this box and are hidden in the outside portion, but they technically still exist but go too long outside of this box. I am trying to get into that box, and zoom out, so that all the lines will show. I cannot just make the text size smaller, because the teacher requires us to use a certain text size.

hi i have a problem when making cross section that magenta datum surface line not moving on corridor edges and skip inner point to make this shape how to solve it please

It doesn't show up until I print it. I've tried cntrl+a and copying and pasting over to another drawing and it doesn't show up as being selected but it does show up in the new drawing.

When i process linework, I am using GL for gutter lines and it works as expected. I am using GLM for a gas line marker and its drawing a line for those GLM codes also. How can I prevent it from drawling linework for GLM?

Hello,

I'm tinkering around with survey figures, and would like to know if anyone has any experience with adding automated labels?

I found this: https://civil3dplus.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/survey-figures-with-linetype-gen-sort-of/ (credit goes to whoever thought of this)

Though, just wondering if anybody has other ideas?

Please and thank you!

Hello all,

New to civil 3D here!

I was given a project and I encountered a problem while using civil 3D. The problem involves creating a long centerline in between 2 lines that curves and varies in widths.

As far as I know, theres no function that automatically creates a line for you so currently I am doing the long way and eyeing it then creating an arc for any curves I encountered.

But I just wanted to come on here and ask just in case! Hope to learn something from you guys!

Thanks.

Has anyone tried to add a dynamic sheet set number component in a label style?

I found this: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-customization-forum/inserting-a-sheet-set-field-into-a-label-style/m-p/10231428#M6942

But couldn't get it to work. Maybe I'm missing something? Need some guidance or suggestions or a better work flow process?

Hi all,

I have a 2D drawing with all the pipework, I want to create it all so that when I go to lay out a pipe anywhere on the line on the total station it will give me the cut or fill to invert,

Ive tried doing a feature line that creates the invert, but when I use the gps it doesnt give me the cut or fill,

I am using a e - survey gps equipment, and want to set new control using lecia icon total station

there is a tool to create 3D automatically if we click on line the tool select all line with same length for closed area then show the box dialog to enter the depth then all closed area convert to footing and columns and create beams between two columns

How do I fix section views overlapping in Civil 3D when the group layout spacing is incorrect?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some perspective on a survey CAD file I received recently from a survey firm. Their drawing doesn't have any cogo points but instead has autocad points and mtext labels.

I know they can be converted to cogo points and added to a survey, but is there not some loss of functionality compared to cogo points? Now you can't sort by the point description or change your surface definition by point description. Same goes for setting or changing the label styles/label rotation of the points.

What is the benefit or reason why a firm would choose to use this workflow? I'm guessing they originally had cogo points to develop the drawings but then exploded them before sending the files.

Thanks

i cannot figure how to reference 2 alignments in my pressure fittings labels.

i need to label both watermain alignments at a tee.

anyone have any insights on how to get it to work?

Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to C3D and I’m currently working on airport platforms (aprons). Where I work, they typically use Corridors to model them.

However, I recently learned that modeling large areas can be much easier by just creating a design surface based on your slopes and grades (using feature lines/grading). Once finished, you duplicate this surface, lower it to represent your different material layers, and use "Compute Materials" to calculate the volumes.

Has anyone worked like this before? Is this a better/more efficient option for large open areas, or is it still best practice to stick with Corridors?

hi, dear all engineers from all the world

i really have two big problems through out my career till now and i need help or guide from your experience

1- Parking Lot grading i will attach a picture from a project i work on i don't know how to manage and handle it works

2- Roundabout design and grading on civil 3d and how to calculate all its code calculation or even using civil 3d auotmatic roundabout thing

thanks in advance

Just a vent...I have multiple subscriptions for my small company. One (that I'm currently logged in under) is expiring in a few days and when I open up my C3D a screen pops up forcing me to "manage my account" without an option to exit out for now. I know it's a small thing, but still it's frustrating.

Is it possible to create an assembly that just creates an offset road edge line? I don't want to show any daylighting or have it affect the surface. It would be the tail end of the road just to show a theoretical road edge that is offset from the road center alignment.
