View C3D 2014 in Plain AutoCAD

[sethm]

I have a project I just completed in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014.  It has profiles, cross sections, a corridor, surfaces, and other 3D features.  The client is trying to view it in plain AutoCAD 2014.  I looked on the Autodesk website and found the Civil 3D 2014 Object Enabler.  I loaded it and tried to view the C3D files in Plain AutoCAD (I also have Plain AutoCAD 2014 on my computer) and most of the 3D features showed up, but not all.  Mostly the corridor surface was what did not show up.  Any suggestions on how to fix this??

Export to 2014 would do the trick.

I've not seen any problems with the object enablers recently. We have a mixed group so we install the object enablers on all the machines. 

True, you can Export to CAD > AutoCAD 2014, and that will explode all the Civil 3D objects for your client. We often do that so the client doesn't have to download or install anything.

He/she who has Civil 3D can set PROXYGRAPHICS to 1 and then save the file. You should be able to see everything without the enabler.

Another alternative is for your client to upload the drawing(s) into the Autodesk 360 cloud such as AutoCAD360. I have no problems viewing profiles and cross sections in AutoCAD 360.
