Alignment label styles help

[hkam111]

Is there a way to calculate the total tangent distance from PI to ST (T1)

I am creating a new style with all the information that I need and I cant find a way to add that

You can use Dynamo to develop an equation to use the alignment elements.

I started a similar project last year for sewer pipe lateral calculation but I stopped.

There is a good resource you can find here in the following link

Camber Feedback Thread - Civil3D - Dynamo (dynamobim.com)

Thank you for your replay
I haven’t used dynamo so I am not familiar with it

Hi hkam,

You can do this from:

1- Setting (in Toolspace) > Alignments > Label Styles > Tangent Intersection

2- Right click (Expressions) > select New, and give it a name, inside Expression area paste this line >

  {PI Extended Raw Station}-{Curve Start Station} , and ok.

3- Now select your alignment > add labels (at Top left) > add Alignment labels > select :

  Feature > Alignment

  Label type > Point of Intersection

  Point of intersection label style > Create new (Give it name)

4- From Layout tab > General (Give it name), Text > Contents > select (Three dots) on right, delete everything on right screen first, on the left from the properties list select the name you typed in step 2 (Don't forget the insert arrow), make your setting and save

5- Now select the curve you need to add that distance

Hope it was useful.

thank you for the help it worked fine .
Do you know where i can get the names of the {PI Extended Raw Station}-{Curve Start Station} and other terminologies for civil 3d .

Here is where to create this label.

[hkam111]

I wanted to ask where I can find the terminologies that civil 3d is using for staff lik the deflection or the value of A etc

Ok I got it.

In Tool space> Settings> Right click file name> Edit drawing settings> abbreviations, you will find these:
- Alignment Geometery Point Text.
- Alignment Geometery point Entity Data.
- Superelevation.
- Cant.
- Profile.

Hope that what you asked for.
