The mission: To share the answers to the questions that I once had as a graduate engineer with other graduate engineers. To this end, this website provides educational content to help new graduate engineers find appropriate solutions to common challenges at the start of their careers.
About me: My aspiration is to create an innovative platform to share solutions with other civil engineers facing day-to-day challenges and discuss how the industry has been, is being, and will be transformed through the application of Artificial Intelligence technology. Other than that, just 3 years of experience in Civil Engineering.
@@imranhamblin2125 Well it depends on what type of work. For example existing & proposed roads I have two surfaces and if my levels are on point the contours should merry nicely. Let me know if you have a specific example that you want me to go over.
Great video. I have heard the hrading objects are.pretty unstable in surfaces though and I myself have had many issues with them not working correctly. When you do a design like this, relying so heavily on them, what type of measures will you put in to lower the risk of something failing in your drawing? For example I create my finished surface it its own drawinf and data ref into my plan set drawing.
Hi @dappercam many thanks for the comment! Well as with each Civil3D update is becoming more and more stable, I am not that worried about things breaking but more trying to keep things separate and clean and to it's intended purpose. So yes, I would have a C3D file where only the ponds are in there, another where the corridors are in and so on. For example I separate the surfaces into Existing, Proposed, Formation, Earthworks.
Thanks! But, the address ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xfm848icEn4.html ) bar is not active to pest the coordinate. I use Autodesk AutoCAD 2020. What could be the problem with mine, Sir??
@@craig7878 There are many ways to create the surface. Creatin surface using COGO Points: put four COGO Points in the imaginary rectangular shape with different heights put them in a Point Group and create a surface using that Point Group.
Rectangle shape 3d polyline, vary the vertices slightly and randomly (for instance give it levels 1.1, 1.17, 1.0 and 0.96) and add to the surface. Voila!
Hi @craig7878 that will depend on what project you working on. If you want to follow this tutorial, just create a rectangle and give it and elevation. Create a surface and add the rectangle to the surface. But if you are working on a live project, you will have to check your topographical survey and see what kind of information you are working with.
Not yet :( I will be making more flow videos soon. But I have been focusing on making videos that will help the growth of this channel (eg. AutoCAD videos), as the flow videos or any specialist videos do not seem to be getting a lot of views.
@@CivilTechSource That worked out well. With the amount of data that I've brought in, the loading time has been significantly decreased so I think it's best to have them as separate tiles. Do you have any advice for saving a style that I can simply apply to all of the tiles to save time? Thanks :)
I can only think of using the default ones. As the style will be based of values such as elevation, each lidar will have different set of elevations. So maybe once importing them you better of merging them all into one?
Thank you very much for this video. Juat for you to know, the bookmarks is like saved views in autocad and civil 3d. They called it bookmarks also in infraworks from what i remember
Really helful video, thanks. At 8:07 the drop-down for analysis type includes three options (fixed depth, rainfall, and flood volume). I can only see two (fixed depth and rainfall) - do you know why I might not be able to select/see flood volume? This is likley to be the most important one for my work.
Hey mate! Thanks for video! I have a problem, after doing everything like show in video I get my dwg convert in Iran instead in Croatia. I choice right coordinate system also but still get problem in transformation.
I would assume it is the same had a look and the Gov website and it seems you could have downloaded the ZIP file but is not available anymore. Maybe worth dropping and email and querying this foi@sepa.org.uk The process should be along the same line.
If you have access to smart tools you can try and export both models to smarttools and re import them into flow. Maybe that's a feature we will see in future updates
