Zero Elevation

Hello,

 

I have to export a civil 3d drawing to 2d autocad. How I can get the points and the linework to be on zero elevation without exploding the points?

 

Thank you for your help.

I tried to to set point style elevation to 0 under the "settings" - points style - summary - 3d geometry, but it doesn't work, points still have elevation. I also tried "Change" command I didn't succeed as well, something i am doing wrong.

@rl_jackson is correct.  I think you just need to edit this from your Point Group Properties to make sure the points already created in the dwg are updating based on this marker style change.  Please see animated .gif below showing this.  White-colored rectangle shape is at 0 elevation.

I did the same like you showed in your video. Although points in my drawing didn't change the elevation. However when i select one point and moved it its elevation become zero, but i am not supposed to move them.

Worked for me?  I had to modify the point marker style on the Display Tab\Model to turn on the layers.  I'm using C3D2018.

Once I changed display from "Plan" to "Model" it worked for me too. I wonder if I should keep the display always on "Model" mode?
