Multiple Grading

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Could you please assist me, my 'toes' are intersecting and i need to create one clean smooth model, i am using multiple site with one surface, any ideas pleas....

Place them all in one site and the toes should merge in the order you created them.

Same site and object interact.

Different site means they do not iinnteract.

Hi there, thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated, it worked perfectly.

I have a few more questions if you dont mind please...

I am busy designing a roundhead for a causeway and i’m not sure what steps to take as it is multi platformed with slopes, can you please assist...

Also, my pipe network catalogue is empty and i need to place a pipe under my causeway, I’m using C3D 2017, any ideas please?

Thank you so much for your assistance

I am not a big fan of gradings due to reliabilty.

Backup copy and save your file often.

In general I try to grade out and up from the bottom of a design.

With the pipe networks, go to the ribbon's home tab, click the chevron arrow on the Create Design panel to expose the hidden commands. Click the Set Pipe Network Catalog and make sure it is pointing to the correct path and that you catalog exists at that path. By default the path is,

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D <version>\enu\Pipes Catalog

DEfault paths may change due to Windows and acad versions.
