I’m pro-customization, although I think some think it is a four letter word. Sometimes you have some work to do and Civil 3D can’t do the task out of the box. A recent poster on the discussion group has this problem. Here is quick way to make is job easier in creating a profile from points. While it could be done better, it should save him some time for the task at hand and be quicker than doing it manually.
Update: We’ve added an errata page right on the front of civil3d.com. Please take a look if you think you’ve found one of our well crafted, intentional tests that are checking to see if you’re reading closely. Yeah, that’s it, they’re INTENTIONAL mistakes to test you!
OK, so maybe not, but check there first, please. –JW
We’re human, we make mistakes, it happens. We’re starting to see the first of the errata reports for the Mastering Civil 3D text. Eight-hundred, forty pages, over 300 exercises, over 200 sample drawings, there are bound to be some mistakes.
Please, tell us if you find something that doesn’t make sense. You can also check Wiley’s page for errata as they log them.
For now, be aware that the Aerial Contours.dwg file in Chapter 5 is missing the Aerial Contours surface style. We’ll make a new drawing available as soon as we can. We’re happy to fix things, especially if you manage to tell us we screwed up without being a jerk!
Another week, another great guest post. Throw some feedback and tell us what you think of Mr. Risch’s post- JW
So a friend of mine and I were talking about different ways to incorporate handicap ramps into a surface. He’d mentioned he had some creative ideas about using/editing corridor sections and the next thing I knew he was calling me into his office to show me what he’d done. Check it out after the jump
