Hi How to know minimum and maximum elevation in my civil 3D surface

[MikeEvansUK]

Please work through the tutorials Pay particular notice to surfaces. Ref:surface properties.

I wish people would stop with the frivolous and sanctimonious "do the tutorials" response. 

It's incredibly annoying.

[dilsmails1]

what you mean ?

But it's something normal.

Manny questions are very simple ... just make the tutorials.

[dilsmails1]

no answer !!!!!!!!!!! ?

Dileep,

Do you mean like this?

1. Select the Surface. Right click. Choose Edit Surface Style.
2. Under the Display Tab, click on the Elevations light bulb.
3. Under the Analysis Tab, Elevations, choose a Range Color Scheme. Click OK.

You can also execute a Surface Report and get Max/Min for multiple surfaces at once.

The OP didn't state which type of surface he was using, as the information is avaliable in both surfaces I didn't specify any glamorous workarounds.

If the OP does not know where to obtain the surface properties from they are obviously is not overly familiar with Civil3d.

Considering this will they be able to perform a surface analysis, set the styles accordinagly, produce a colour map of results and insert a table to key the colour banding?

To save exhaustive message threads containing trivulous questions the answer is simply to point towards a concise tutorial.

I am self taught in Civil3d (although I had prior knowledge from other applications) and I started with the Tutorials so I recomend anyone else to do the same before entering into any further training as they contain a whealth of information.

thanks sir

yes, it is

but now i have one more doubt, what is the terminology is using for that level difference (please see markup on the attachment) i changed manually the

Intervels of minimum and maximum elevation as per my requirment.

Dileep,

For the Table Range Settings you'd change that in the Table Styles. For the ranges displayed on your surface, here's where to change the number of ranges and specify the elevations and colors:

Mike,

People do not want to be nannied here and told to do the Tutorials. If that is all you have to give on a question, then simply stand aside.

[dilsmails1]

Someone is not giving a hand to learn and growup, also they are not allowing to do the same to someone, please understand this is a community helpcenter by autodesk. If you are not able to help please keep away.let us make use of this community. Someone is ready to help allways. Please don’t make an opposition here… please …..

I, for one, think there is no question so basic that it should not be asked. This community is for everyone, expert, intermediate, beginner, engineer, tech, IT wonk or secretary. If you want to learn something about Civil 3D and you like connecting with others to do so, then ask anything. If no one wants to answer your question, it will go unanswered. No biggie, right?

Yes, Mr. Evans, "Read the tutorial" is often good advice, but perhaps, "Here's the answer, and by the way, the tutorials show the answer, here's a link," would be more in the spirit of collaboration this forum promotes.

Best regards,

Tim

Dileep,

The Elevations or "Levels" shown in the screen shot appear to be from a "Tin Volume Surface" Tin Volume Surface's are comprised of a Base Surface and Comparison Surface.

The numbers in the Table reflect ranges of Minimum & Maximum Z differences between these 2 surfaces.

Please see About Creating a TIN Volume Surface for more information.

Dileep,

Those are excellent Webinars. I've watched quite a few of them and always learn something in each Webinar.

Just a note regarding Tutorials. Many of them are video and many companys restrict the use of video in an office environment; afraid that employees will watch cat antics or something. Otherwise, large amounts of paper need to be printed out or screens maximized/minimized in order to work through tutorials. One has to hope for a company that allows time and/or resources to work with them.

On the whole they are very helpful, of course, but, having used both methods, I do think that a quick answer to a specific question to our Forum is a better way for someone to get an answer and move on. That's why this discussion forum exists. I, for one, use it a lot to solve problems or refresh my memory. Cheers,
