I'm having problem creating a horizontal alignment with the given data I have. I'm only given my station point with no bearings and only their elevation points. How do I create a horizontal alignment in autocad civil 3D

L,

 

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums.

 

Please post your data. Is it a point file?

L,

 

Did you mean to attach something to your post? If you responded from your e-mail, it won't allow you to attach any data. You'll need to sign into the forum to attach a file.

Well, an alignment can be created in many ways. All depends what you need.

For instance, you can use "best fit" and see what you get (from what little you wrote i'm guessing it won't do)

Alternatively, you can draw it much like you would draw a vertical profile! I often do that (or convert poly) since i do geotechnical stuff, and curve radius (ect) rarely mean anything to me.
