![]() The only thing I haven't got sorted yet is circles, but I throw a non updating ellipse in for these.įor plan drafting, set your styles up so you can switch off, or hide the bits and pieces you want to override, hide or modify.įor areas and length, you can extract the corridor feature lines as polylines using the CREATEPOLYLINEFROMCORRIDOR command which can be flattened or converted to 2d.Īnother method for areas is to make a surface out of the parts of the corridor you want and then you have the ability to extract the surface boundary for you areas. We use civil 3d for the design and then just draw on what we want over the top of the civil 3d objects.įor drafting in profile views and section views that moves with the scale exagerations, we have a label style that just has a line component which we use to draw stairs, culverts (if we are not using pipes and structures), footbridges, etc. Why do you feal it necessary to explode everything and flatten it all down to 2d? I know this is not addressing your wish to push everything down to 2d. I dont want more than simple, pretty straightforward tool that is able to convert 3D Civil data to (unfortunatelly dead) 2D AutoCAD data. I am not talking about any 3D data exchange (Revit, Structure etc) just about pure funcionality of Civil 3D. Culvert is good example, it is easier to draw culvert with all slopes (in plan) in 2D than to model it somehow in 3D. I dont want to loose any 3D data that already exist, but I have no other choice, when there are no suitable tools and workflow how to add these 2D/3D structures to exisiting corridor or grading group. But why I have to use another software, when Civil 3D is build on AutoCAD?Ĭivil 3D is presented as BIM solution. Corridor feature lines are exploded to small short lines.Ģ) DWF is not very good format as a source drawing for future edits.ģ) _EXPORTLAYOUT looks better, but final block is not georeferenced and still in 3D.Ĥ) PDF is good format for display, but again not for future edits.ĥ) Conversion to DGN, Neil you are right, this is exactly the way, how to make it. So I am asking, am I alone who needs such feature?ġ) Command EXPORTTOAUTOCAD unfortunatelly doesnt solve conversion to 2D. 3D is nice, but 2D is necessary because of lots, lots of work has to be still drawn manually. Why products as Inventor or Revit have these 2D publishing features and Civil 3D doesnt? It seems like nobody from Autodesk solves this kind of request. And it is just directly against all Autodesk marketing phrases how to work smarter using BIMs ![]() And what worse, when the design is changed, user has to start from scratch again and again, which is not twice effective. Is it clear, that corridor edit commands and features are not good enough to add another structures as stairs, culverts, parking lots with green islands and another civil structures.Įxport to AutoCAD or AEC Explode converts drawing to some 2D/3D exploded hybrid, where it takes hours of editing, flatting and joining lines to make graphically correct and usable 2D drawing. to regular AutoCAD 2D drawing to be able to hatch, measure, trim and so on. I would like to open discussion about function that could easilly convert Civil 3D drawing with its all corridors, grading groups, feature lines etc.
