Please welcome Tony Carcamo to the civil3d.com team–JW

Hi everyone. I would like to say this is my first official post with Civil3d.com. Tonight, I would like to provide you a few tips and tricks for pipe network design. Lets begin by setting the Manning’s coefficient for each of your pipe sizes in the part network list. I provided a list of the three most commonly used storm pipe types below. You can also find this information in most city standard drainage manual. This will come in handy later on in the post. (more…)

Spot Elev Rounded to 0.05-feet

On February 17, 2010, in General, Labels, Styles, by Mark Spatz, P.E.

A question came up today from our Pittsburg branch:

“How can I make Civil 3D round spot elevations to the nearest five-hundredths of a foot (0.05’)?”

I knew creating an EXPRESSION was the answer but I just didn’t know how to accomplish this task.  So after putting my noodle on the solution over the afternoon – from time-to-time when I needed a break from real work – I came up with the final expression around dinner.

A Quick Fix with Label Expressions

On February 10, 2010, in 2010, Labels, Pipes, by John Evans

I’m walking through our office and there is a flurry of activity coming from my buddy’s area.  Enough that I’d stay away rather than ask if ay assistance is needed.  Not because I’m lazy, quite the opposite.  We are all balls to the wall when the pressure is on.  If they are not bleeding, just let them be.  They’ll shout if they need anything.

Label Latitude & Longitude in GPS Coordinate Format

On October 16, 2009, in 2010, General, Labels, Points, Styles, Surveying, by Jonathan Stewart

How do you label the Latitude and Longitude of a location in a GPS Coordinate format?

“What is most often known as GPS format, is displayed as (DDD,MM.MMMM) in which seconds are converted to decimal minutes, as a minute value. Seconds have the value of 0 to 60, with 0 and 60 (usually designated as 0 to 59 and then restarting at 0) being the same value, minutes have the same characteristics and degrees are valid from 0 to 180 and 180 to 0, (0 and 180 do NOT have the same value) both North and South of the equator, and East and West of the prime meridian.”
