PROBLEM DISPLAYING A SUBASSEMBLY IN CIVIL 3D

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone

I've been trying to use a subassembly to compose an assembly i need, the problem is when i import the subassembly into Civil 3D, it doesn't display in the drawring space (attached image). I hope someone has a solution for it, the red circles is the only thing that appear and i have even tried to do it with othe subassemblies and those work correctly (I am not sure if that could be a file problem).

I will be really thankfull if someone gives me a solution, greetings!

You need to create an assembly and add subassemblies to it.

@AllenJessup Thanks for the answer. Even so, I've already created the assembly, the step where I am is trying to put the subassembly I created in the SAC in it, and there it is the problem, it doesn't display correctly, just 2 red points ( and that doesn't happen to all of the assemblies I've done)

Turn on all layers.

Thaw all layers.

That may be your problem.

Hi, that option doesn't work

Hi  scarrascad,

Is the version of SAC when you created subassembly the same as current C3D version. If not, try to open your subassembly in current version of SAC and just save as your PKT file. But be sure to also change subassembly name.

I think they're the same version, what i don't understand is why some of the files open normally and the pkt i need is not loaded correctly. Both of C3D Y SAC are 2021

[M_Obradovic]

Can you share your PKT file in order to try help.

Absolutely

Hi,

When you work in SAC everything is in Roadway Mode and it is view just for SAC. If you want to check how it will be view in C3D when you attach your subassembly you should change in Layout Mode. In your pkt file Layout mode was empty and from this reason you have red circle in C3D. Workflow to avoid this is to add Decision with SA.IsLayout and on true side to draw what you want to see in Civil 3d as I begin to do.

 

 

Hope this will help

@M_Obradovic thank you for all the responses, before i make my conclusion i would like to know if it's possible to hace a subassembly without those layout conditional, i mean, having de workflow normally and being able to display it in Civil 3D

[M_Obradovic · Accepted solution]

You can create subassembly without this layout condition but not in this subassembly because your subassembly is based on the target's parameters from begining.

Please see following link https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/how-to-control-the-layout-mode-in-subassembly-composer...

 and you will see how Wojtek_Garczewski explain how to control layout and roadway mode.

Thak you very much, this has been really helpfull

I've just solved my problem easier, i have some conditions that restrict the height of the slopes according to the maximum values i've defined in the parameters; so i realized  the AP1 layout delta Y was in 30 (where the conditionals would not display anything) so what i had to do was set a minor value where my workflow works, in that way the layout view would the default representation of the assembly where imported to C3D.

Thank you again

Hey, I'm having the same problem, and your idea is the crux of the problem. I can open the file in an older version of SAC, and resave it, but it will still only run in the latest version of civil 3d, and I need it to work in 2020. Do I have to rebuild it from scratch?

Thanks for your help!

I also tried searching opening the file in visual studio and searching for "2022" in the code, but I could not identify any version information. I don't know enough about how that works. Do you know how I can fix this in the code, or a way to fix this without rebuilding the entire assembly?

Thanks!

Thank you. that works for me
