Worked like a charm now...
As a suggestion for improvement it would be better to be able to select both HOLE and GEOL in the same vist when browsing and Adding to the dialog as they are alway both needed

Hello Together,
I have now the updated CSV-files - but no result. You can see this in the screenshot - what this means?
I save new drawing, in the folder I have two SDF-files - but no boreholes in the drawing, nothing. Did I need supportpaths? Wich one? Can I use the C3D-Template? What else?
I have C3D 2013 (German) with Update 1 on W7 64bit.
Best regards
Thomas
hi Thomas
If you like to post your CSV files I will take a look at them.
Regards Gary
Hi Gary,
"I have now the updated CSV-files - but no result." This means I have test it with YOUR CSV-Files. Or not?
Best regards
Thomas
Post your csv files (change the extension to txt). I have tested this with my own csv files and it works fine

Hello Together,
here are the files.

Looks ok to me - the files MUST be called HOLE.csv and GEOL.csv

Hi neilyi,
Shame on me!!! You are right - I must change the names. But my result looks not so fine. When you look in the properties from one DTM, you can see the problem. Template was acadiso.dwt.
Best regards

Hi
I see the problem and I think I know what's causing it. I think it is caused by the language settings and the way the decimal point is being interpreted.
As a very temporary workaround you could try changing your regional settings.
'Regional and Language settings' under the Windows Control Panel to English
I would be grateful if you could try in this and let me know if it this works.
We can then look at getting a permanent fix in a future release.
Thanks
Hi Gary,
YES! When I change the language settings, then it's all right. Then we are in hope for a fast update!
Best regards
Thomas
Just to recap for all, because I've run into the same problems.
1. You have to make sure you have all of the Column Headings included in your .csv files or you will receive an error (even if you are not using the Headings, they must be included in your .csv
2. The Mandatory Settings for " hole.csv" Are as follows (Note: GroundLevel and FinalDepth were excluded from the original manual)
Columns in Hole that must be filled in. (Mandatory)
LocationID
LocationType
Easting
Northing
GroundLevel
FinalDepth
3. The Mandatory Settings for “ geol.csv “ are as follows (Note: They have not changed from the manual)
Columns in Geol that must be filled in. (Mandatory)
LocationID
DepthTop
DepthBase
Side Note:
I tried to attache template .csv files to this discussion group, but I get this error...
"The attachment's content type (application/vnd.ms-excel) does not match its file extension." I don't think it likes the latest version of Excel as I could not attach .xlsx file either... I even tried renaming the .csv's to .txt's and I still got the error...

Looks like this has disappeared from the standalone Civil 3D 2014 and is only available in the Design Suite - nice move Autodesk, what exactly am I paying for with my subscription??

Sorry to hear this has happened to you! Maybe they will listen and add it back to subscription center too…
I think it’s safe to speculate that Civil 3D is being phased out as a standalone application and IDSP is the focal point moving forward. You do get a lot of added benefits with IDSP that really makes the cost worth it. I guess this is now one of them. If you hold out long enough, I would imagine they will role you into IDSP for free when they stop releasing Civil 3D as long as you stay on subscription, but if you really need the plugins that they’ve moved over to IDSP then I guess you’ll have to bit the bullet and make the upgrade now.
(I just consolidated all of our licensing across north America to find out I need to upgrade some of our suites from IDSP to IDSU… so I can still run the River Analyst Module that I’ve been beta testing for years now… Fun…I'm sure my IT Manger and CFO will love to hear that...)

I was quite suprised it was still standalone for 2013 after they announced the Suites in 2012 but there are other alternatives available e.g from Dotsoft

Thanks for the mention, we are adding support for the HOLE/GEOL ascii files to the MapWorks Geology Module today.
Hello!
Is it possible to export Geotechnical Profile with boreholes to AutoCAD?
After export or exploding there are no borholes on profile.
Is it possible to add "update" functionality to this module. If GEOL or HOLE
are changed - we must do all work from scratch?
