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.
7:33In this video, absolute and relative rotations are covered as we go through the uses and application of various settings for linetypes that include text.
Autodesk has, since, very well expanded on a capability they previous had at a lesser extent by developing BIM 360.
When exporting an Autodesk Civil 3D drawing, the process has been generally straight-forward with some well-placed results in Model Space. That caveat adds some steps to an otherwise simple procedure.
Having been a long time coming, Pressure Pipe Networks and associated behaviors have been updated for Civil 3D 2021.
In many states, data is available for large areas in the form of IMG files (essentially a DEM file but differing data format).
3:45When you're working with large datasets in Civil 3D it can affect your performance. Using Data Clips can help with this. Learn how.
Let’s look at a variable or setting in the linetype file that controls the behavior the orientation of the text.
When working on surfaces in Civil 3D, creating a boundary to limit the area used it straightforward.
Many times, the concern or question comes about where a user wants to know the differences between smoothing the surface versus smoothing the contours within Civil 3D.
During surface creation and modeling within Autodesk Civil 3D, breaklines can sometimes cross each other, possibly preventing the correct surface representation.
5:42Using 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.
