[Anonymous]

Elevations existing ground gives in the band not the correct value, I putted everything in meters but it still doesn t match with the label that gives the correct elevation, same problem with the offset distance in the band. Can someone help me?

It looks like the label components in your band style is set to show the elevations in feet. you need to change the band style to a metric style or edit the band style components to show the objects in meters.

I tried already to change every possible parameter in meters but it still doesn't work. Is it normal that you need to change everything in meters where you can find foot, can' t you do it somewhere for the entire drawing?

Thx in advance.

edit the band style, major minor stations to report the elevation in feet (make sure to click the blue arrow in the label editor).

If you are going to work in meters you need to start from a template that is based on metric or has styles setup for metric.

All the labels that are shown in relation to civil 3d objects are controlled by styles, each of which can be set internally to display feet and/or meters. Any object that is displaying in feet that you want to display in meters will need the style changed either through changing the style that the object is using or editing the existing the style. There is no variable that will do that for you.

You can import metric styles into your current drawing and replace the styles in use with them. Check out the command importstylesandsettings.
