typical seciton/subassemblies

[cloquet]

Is there anyway that Civil 3d will allow you to draw your typical section from hand and chose reference points, materials, etc. like it did in land desktop????

Also, I have been trying to draw my typcial using the shape trapezoidal subassembly, and was wondering how to associate a material with a shape so that the quantities will add up with those shapes? Message was edited by: cloquet

Oh, wouldn't it be nice if Assemblies contained auto-labeling functions, so that your Assembly itself WAS a typical section?

oh but it does have auto labeling. That's what all codes with labels are for.

Really? Where?

I've seen the codes and autolabelling on the Section tools.

But I was talking about labels on the ASSEMBLIES THEMSELVES, so we could just throw a viewport around our assemblies, and we would have Typical Sections for our entire project.

Assembly Properties, the Codes tab.

So you're telling me that if I futz around with those settings enough, I can get something like the following, complete with the station ranges listed below the typical section? And if I have a road with super-elevations, it will automatically label segments with "Varies" instead of the percentage? And there's an easy way to add those overall distance labels above the section? And all this is controlled from those code sets?

Not all of it, but some of it. I think you have the skills to take it the rest of the way, maybe a new SincPac feature. But I'm not sure if the API has exposed what assemblies are applied at what regions in the corridor.

Interesting. Hopefully the 2009 API exposes enough that I might be able to do something neat. I'll check it out.
