This is one of those - 'I wish I thought of that.' fix it tips. Experiential learning matters.

 

 Manual Superelevation in Civil 3D

Manual Superelevation in Civil 3D

Alister Ridden of Prokon Build (South Africa) some nifty manual Superelevation tips and tricks in Civil 3D.
From the Prokon Build Channel on YouTube.

Comments

It certainly pays to understand how the Design Criteria Standards files relate to the calculated Superelevation results in Civil 3D.
You can then learn to cheat and manually tweak the forced results quicker than an automated method alone.

This Superelevation approach assumes you cannot solve the design problems with Offset Alignments and their Offset Profile children's slope control.
Note that a faked Super calc can provide you with the substantive Station and Slope detail for the above.

 

 Civil 3D Description Keys and Figure Basics

Civil 3D Description Keys and Figure Basics

3/30/2020

 

Kyle Groves, a Technical Specialist at ATG, explains how Description Keys and Figures work in Civil 3D.
From the ATG YouTube Channel.

Comments

This is a decent walk through of Description Key Set, Figure Prefix Db, and Linework Code Set mechanics in Civil 3D.
You got to love the CTC Survey Sweeper, but Kyle - Where you run the Process Linework command from in the Civil 3D Survey interface matters.

A better Civil 3D Survey requires that you externalize the creation, upkeep, and maintenance of the resources. Excel works great for some things.
One Description Key Set and one Figure Prefix Db makes about as much sense as one Civil 3D Template that does everything.
The Framework for Civil 3D provides all these Civil 3D Survey Adaptive Resource details in considerable depth.
The Frameworks's many Spreadsheet Tools, wonder of wonders, also work well with the CTC Software Tools.
