Civil 3D 2014 Point Group "NO DISPLAY" does not appear to be included

I just started work in Civil 3D 2014 and was going about creating different point groups for some volume calculations so I could create different surfaces.  I noticed after creating my first point group that the NO DISPLAY group could not been seen in the Prospector under Point Group.  Now in previous editions there has always been a NO Display Group so you can easily view your different groups.  Is this something they changed in Civil 3D 2014 or was the installations faulty?

Did you create a NO DISPLAY point group that isn't showing? The dwt's that ship with C3D do not include any point groups, other than the _All Points group.

I didn't great a "NO DISPLAY" group but in previous versions that group was already created for me.

The template files in the previous releases must have been customized. Are you using a company template, or a standard Civil 3D template? Are you using the same template file as in previous versions?

The company modified the tempate to look more like the one they use for AutoCAD Maps.

 

I just remember "NO DISPLAY" point group always being there in other version as a stand thing.

If you always want that Point Group to be in your drawings you will need to add it to your template. Or, write a small program to auto create it if it doesn't exist (good for when opening drawings already created that do not have that group).

Know of any good sources to learn how to write such a program for Civil 3D?
