creating report for xyz coordinates at required intervel from Alignment

[uamungek]

Hi,

Is there any way to extract xyz coordinate report at required intervel from alignment?

I have created a suface model from points & alignment has been created from the polyline, I want to have route alignment
report to show xyz coordinates at required intervel rather than
start point,end point & Tangent points.

Pleas advise if this nut can be cracked.

Uday,

What would be wrong with creating points along the alignment and
reporting them that way? You can create those points on the create
points toolbar - I think it's the next to last button (hover over it -
it should say "by alignment") That will allow you to select the
interval to create points. From there, you can display in Excel, Word,
or one of the Point Reports.

we can do x and y but as far as i know the alignment itself cannot store Z

however, i'll bet i can rig up a profile reference that will do it.

gimme a few.

I got it. Let me document it.

Dana,

An alignment can't hold a Z, but the elevation could be found from either a
surface or a profile. I'd do this a a report and add it to the toolbox as a
new report type. Look at the Incremental Stationing Report, but instead of
looking at PVI, just walk down the alignment getting the xy and then ask the
profile for the z.

aaaah. Reports. The next frontier.

DANKE!

I plan to have a report like this as part of my toolbox class at AU.

Dana,

Thanks for the information but when I select the sampled profile using measure alignment option, I get the message at command promot "invalid selection set"

Secondly I am unable to get the dialog box "Select Profile for Strean Cent.."

I am using Civil3d 2006, hope above options are available in civil3d 2006. Please can you elaborate second step shown on
blogspot.com

AH

instead of using the points from alignment, you'd have to use the fourth
button from the right- points from surface.

copy your alignment as a polyline and use the along polyline/contour option.

it will allow you to set an interval.

Otherwise, it should work the same. I forget if the point elevation from
surface (for updating the points) is in 06. It has been months since i
opened it.

Peter's reporting options are probably a no-go as he descibes as far as
adding it to the toolbox (an 07 thing) but you could probably write and 06
LandXML custom report. I don't know. I am not a report gal just yet.
Gimme a dynamic table any day of the week.

will you be doing a HEC RAS export at any time? If so, check out this
resource for Civil 3D export to HecRas.

Dana,

Thanks a lot. This option does work, I could manage to generate points & extract xyz cooridates along the alignment
route at required interval. I tried to generate dynamic table but
it was time consuming, reason could be the number of points
that I wanted to tabulate were 19000. Once again thanks for your help.

I used following steps as advised by you

1) Point generation along polyline/contour
2) Edit point option to display xyz data
3) Select XYZ data & tranfer it into txt format


Regards

Uday
