Radius Offset Buffers
Radius Offset Buffers

Create an Offset Buffer with Corrected Radius Values
Jeff Bartels of Autodesk demos how to employ the OFFSETGAPTYPE system variable set to 1 to generate corrected offset radius buffers from any line segments in any AutoCAD 2015+ based product.
From the Jeff Bartels YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
Set OFFSETGAPTYPE to 2 to champher segments at their projected intersections.
The perpendicular distance from each chamfer to its corresponding vertex on the original object is equal to the offset distance.
As Jeff shows - Remember to reset the OFFSETGAPTYPE system variable to 0 or you may drive yourself and others to distraction later.
Analyze a Gravity Network
Analyze a Gravity Network
9-28-2017
John Sayre of Autodesk quickly demos the 2017 and new 2018 Gravity Analysis Wizard.
Where to get to the wizard in the v1 Enhancement Toolbox is covered.
The Civil 3D Gravity Analysis Wizard
John demos the 2017+ Gravity Analysis Wizard and Pipe System Sizing Tool.
The tool supports the FHA (HEC 22 2009) Standards.
This tool is also included in Civil 3D 2018 release.
From the from John Sayre YouTube channel
Comments
Note that John employs Known Q inlet values in the video (a regular input value) and not cachement to inlet methodology which is also supported.
This link to the Civil 3D 2018 on-line help includes a decent overview of the Gravity Analysis Wizard This link to the Civil 3D 2017 v1 Enhancement on-line help includes the same overview of the Gravity Analysis Wizard
Pay very careful attention to your Parts List, cachment construction, and the Wizard Settings before pushing the button.

Corridor Slope Benching with Stock Subassemblies
Comments
Alan explains and shows the classic stock subassembly methods to create sloped benches in a corridor.
If you want to employ repeating conditionals, that is also covered well in a short video.
Most folks are not really aware of neat trick of coping subassemblies to repeat things when you employ conditionals.
Corridor Slope Benching Using Subassembly Composer

Corridor Slope Benching with Subassembly Composer
Comments
Alan covers the Subassembly Composer basic geometry logic for the cut condition benching.
Not really complete but you get the core concepts in a short video.
See the follow up Subassembly Composer Logic videos for more discussions.
