When I go to plot preview they do not show up but when I open the pdf they do. I have tried multiple pdf software's and it is the same every time so it must be some hidden issue in civil 3d. If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 10 Jun 2024 21:16:42 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12830879#M15150 tanner_wright8DXZC 2024-06-10T21:16:42Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12831986#M15151 <P>How is the aerial file setup?</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2024 11:23:18 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12831986#M15151 VincentSheehan 2024-06-11T11:23:18Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832343#M15152 <P>It was an xref of a pdf saved from google earth.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2024 13:37:59 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832343#M15152 tanner_wright8DXZC 2024-06-11T13:37:59Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832345#M15153 <P><SPAN>It was an xref of a pdf saved from google earth.&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Tue, 11 Jun 2024 13:38:15 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832345#M15153 tanner_wright8DXZC 2024-06-11T13:38:15Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832407#M15154 <P>It could be the PDF on how the image was printed to create the PDF. Can you see the seams in the PDF? You may need to zoom in a bit.</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2024 14:02:51 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832407#M15154 VincentSheehan 2024-06-11T14:02:51Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12832420#M15155 <P>Here is the original pdf.

Instead of using Menubar&gt;Insert&gt;PDF underlay, I used tab&gt;Insert&gt;PDF Import. This put googles aerial as in as a PNG. Solved both this issue and dark colours coming up as white.</P> Thu, 20 Jun 2024 06:19:21 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12850879#M15156 jefferyAPH5H 2024-06-20T06:19:21Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12851410#M15157 <P>I would suggest saving the aerial from Google Earth as a raster file.</P> Thu, 20 Jun 2024 12:13:42 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12851410#M15157 VincentSheehan 2024-06-20T12:13:42Z Re: Unwanted vertical lines when plotting pdf's from my viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/unwanted-vertical-lines-when-plotting-pdf-s-from-my-viewport/m-p/12851432#M15158 <P><SPAN><EM><FONT color="#3366FF">&lt;&lt;…xref of a pdf saved from google earth.&gt;&gt;</FONT></EM><BR /></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>Google Earth is free and can easily be downloaded and installed.
