Civil Solutions Applications Expert<br><br>Working with clients to implement various technologies and techniques within civil engineering disciplines. With my travels, I teach/train, troubleshoot, solve, configure, and implement solutions based on client needs. Drawing on many years of experience across various types of projects, I continue to enjoy doing this type of work.
Describing the options involved when depicting pressure pipe rolls in 3D space with Civil 3D 2025.
The usefulness may be lost on some, but for those who have multiple surfaces in the same drawing can now selectively choose to which surface(s) an LOD setting applies.
The workaround for this issue is to do what you might not have wanted to do in the first place: create an individual action entry for each animation sequence instead of using one for the parent folder
To alleviate connection and elevation inconsistencies between profiles of the turnout or crossover alignment and the main alignment, the command Diverted Profiles is available within Rail.
A change with respect to Turnout catalogs happened in version 2022 of Civil 3D, but this one seems to have gotten by without a prior mention.
The ability to data reference AEC objects from one drawing to another is a highly valuable tool in the Civil 3D arsenal.
This blog addresses a process to merge the gravity pipe and structure catalogs for Civil 3D
Due to the fact that these are formatted as SQLITE files, you can imagine that a simple text editor will not do the trick.
In this video, absolute and relative rotations are covered as we go through the uses and application of various settings for linetypes that include text.
When you're working with large datasets in Civil 3D it can affect your performance. Using Data Clips can help with this. Learn how.
Using a simple surface, we break down how use generate catchment areas and export that geometry to drape to our surface for visual analysis and presentation.
