Smoothing Surface

[Alas_1234]

I'm having troubles with smoothing surface. I work in pipe irregation  project. I created my pipe algiment in surface and I take profile from surface. Horizantal scale 1/500 , verticak scale 1/10. In this case, my profile shape  seems incorrect, there is sharp increase and decrase which shouldnt be there. How I more smooth my surface and reach right profile ? Thanks.

I also uploaded my dwg file.

Hi @Alas_1234 

I've investigated your file. I took a look at your surface and profile.

It looks correct. According to surface contours, there are surface pics, that are shown on the profile. Elevation on the profile matches with surface contours(~720). Please see:

Your profile shows these extreme slopes as its vertical exaggeration is set up to 50. 

If you want to see it not exaggerated, change the "Vertical Exaggeration" value to 1. To change it please follow the steps:

1. Select Profile View and right-click on "Edit Profile View Style...".
2. Go to the Graph tab, and change Vertical Exaggeration to "1".

Please see:

Below please find some more information regarding profile exaggeration:

Thank you,

Thank you for reply Wojtek!

I wonder how you split screen two part and can work profile and aligment at the same time.

As an second I know surface contours and profile  mathes each other and vertical scale 50 times higher than horizantal scale. but the alignment pass near the road people can walk easily in these area.

so there shouldn't be sharp height between 50 cm and 1 m through all area. Maybe its problem about triangle of the surface. Is there way to be more smooth and exact like real land area ?

Hi @Alas_1234 

To split your view click [-] on the top left corner and choose wanted configuration. 

Also, you may use station tracer to indicate some places on profile and alignment simultaneously. Please see:

For your second question. I don't know how the survey was taken, and how detailed it was. Per my view, it looks the surface is missing some breaklines that would indicate e.g. kerb lines or edge of the road, etc.. 

Without those lines, Civil 3D triangulate surface as it is, joining closest points.

Thank you,

Wojtek
