Hi,

 

usually i do this by draw this object at slope angle then i use 3DARRAY (Rectangular) command. 

 

  • draw the object that you want to array.
  • make your UCSICON at the same slope level by using UCS command the select Face option. 
  • start 3DARRAY command and take care about positive and negative values since Positive values generate the array along the positive X, Y, and Z axes. Negative values generate the array along the negative X, Y, and Z axes.
  • your success depend on the values that you enter.

Good Luck..

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Can you give me more details on what you are trying to create? I suspect your issue is in drawing the path and not the array part of this.

 

Without any more information, I suggest using construction lines/points to assist  you in laying out your 3D curved path.

Hi Mr John.Vellek

 

i am very Sorry For  Late Reply. 

 

Actually I was trying to Calculate the Gradient and Camber Levels on Road.

 

So i was thinking that if i can path array, my points to selected Center line of road, with specific Slope, then i can get levels on 3 meters interval.

 

 

so the problem was solved in Civil 3d program

 

please check this post. is it possible in AutoCAD?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

This is a tricky one. While I think you can probably do this in AutoCAD it would be rather tedious. Can you attach a simple drawing that illustrates your road? If so, I will take a look for you. I suspect it might be better thought  to move this thread to the Customization forum to see if someone has a LISP routine that can do this.
