How Advanced Linework Breakline Codes Work
How Advanced Linework Breakline Codes Work
8/12/2019
Jeff Moris, a Senior Application Expert for IMAGINiT, walks through examples of how to employ some Civil 3D Survey advanced coding techniques for Figure and Breakline Linework.
Visit the IMAGINiT YouTube page
Comments
This Jeff's Linecode 102 or Linecoding Part 2 of a series.
The video explores the contents and topics of the Special Codes page of the Civil 3D help file.
Topics Covered:
- Begin and End Curves - sorry no discussion of tangency in detail
- Point coding to create nodes in multiple Figures
- Figure creation that includes connections to previous points - RPN and CPN codes
- Child Figure creation with horizontal and vertical offsets
- Adding both Figure Prefix Db defined breakline figures and other figures as breaklines to a surface
You can probably figure out why Jeff changes his default delimiter and default escape character in his Linework Code Set from the example results, but he really doesn't clarify why he wants to employ the space character differently.
I'm not sure I like his default delimiter alternative for other Civil 3D Survey string interpreter reasons, but to each his own.
He makes the really important point that editing FBK and/or point files in the shop is useful and very productive.

The Framework for Civil 3D includes 2000+ Codes, matched Description Keys, Figure Prefix Dbs, and all the above resources. This makes it a better place to start.

If you need a reasonable and basic review of how to employ the Autodesk AEC Collection tools: Recap Photo, Recap, Infraworks, and Civil 3D to procees
Drone imagery into a usable surface in Infraworks and Civil 3D this webinar does the trick.
Kevin covers many important tips and hints that we all tend to trip over to get this done.
We skip forward beyond the webinar introductions in the recording to the start of the live walkthough.
Generate Solids Between TIN Surfaces with Dynamo
Generate Solids Between TIN Surfaces with Dynamo
7/24/2019
Paolo Emilio Serra, Autodesk Implementation Consultant, demostrates how to leverage Dynamo for Civil 3D to generate solids between two cropped Civil 3D TIN surfaces.
From Paolo Serra's AKN page
Comments
This video is all about the programing instruction. Paulo integrates the Civil 3D API, Dynamo for AutoCAD and Civil 3D, with Dynamo core functionality to generate a result that cannot be accomplished without all the pieces working together.
This is an in-depth and instructive walkthrough of Paolo's Iron Python script code block with all the structures, mechanics, methods, and details.
Paolo's AKN page listed above includes other Dynamo for Civil related videos you will find instructive.
