Layer States in Civil 3D
Layer States in Civil 3D
12/19/2017
Jerry Bartels of Autodesk demonstrates the use of the AutoCAD LAYERSTATESAVE command to save and restore Layer properties in Civil 3D.
Jerry also covers the upgrade of older Express Tools Layer States that may occur in upgrading a drawing to 2018 if you employed those previously.
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
Frankly, if you don't employ Layer States Civil 3D is pretty much unusable. You certainly work to hard.
Jerry, says the following over simplicification in his post lead in, "Using these layers, we control how (or if) various parts of our model are displayed."
Actually, Civil 3D Style and Reference tools do the bulk of the information management control in Civil 3D and not just AutoCAD Layers.
The AutoCAD LM command and Layer States allows Style representations to practically function for production work in Civil 3D.
The Framework for Civil 3D includes Layer Spreadsheet Tools that help you build and maintain the Layer system and Layer States.

Autodesk's Jerry Bartels demonstrates the use of the Map 3D MAPTRIM command to clean up an Exported Civil 3D model.
Jerry also covers how to employ Layer properties to include and exclude AutoCAD object content from the MAPTRIM.
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
MAPTRIM and MAPCLEAN are two of everyone's favorite Map 3D tools that a skilled Civil 3D user has to know.
Needless to say, this is a publication process. How well you set up the published content before you perform the MAPTRIM is important to produce good results.
