Correct Civil 3D Pipes Export to ESRI SHP

5/5/2020

 

Scott Mizsak, a Technical Specialist at ATG, explains how to fix incorrect Pipe Invert elevations from Civil 3D to ESRI SHP export.
This is an annoying known bug in current releases of Civil 3D. What people mean by Invert Elevation matters.
From the ATG YouTube Channel.

Lots of good and necessary detail in this video if you must produce the SHP files deliverable.
Hopefully, this silliness gets fixed in the Civil 3D 2020 Update 4 and above.
The current version of the ArcGIS Connector may not share this problem since it was more recently updated.
That's worth checking since that may produce a valid FGDB and hence produce a SHP deliverable.
