Thanks Brent! Slowly trying to get my mojo back!

Would love to see a video where you show how you merge/tiein existing contours with proposed contours. Regards Imran

@@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.

Talk about perfect timing!

More to come!

Thank you!

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.

Send it over so we can make a video and share it with everyone if you like.

Maybe it's the autocad version try using the latest version?

Glad you find it useful!

You are welcome!

@@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 Ah thankyou, I imagine Flow is a pretty niche ubject compared to Autocad. However I only watch your channel for the Flow videos!

Maybe if you have them all in the same zip folder?

@@CivilTechSource Thank you!

@@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?

Glad I could help!

Check the insert tab > Set Location

I would import it in QGIS and export intodwg/dxf. Or if you have AutoCAD Maps or Civil3D you can import the KMZ and convert it into dwg.

Which one the lidar website?

@@CivilTechSource Yes, because I think DEFRA changed their file type from ASCII To GeoTiffs

I believe you can still select what format you want to download, if not check the qgis tutorial

@@CivilTechSource Will check the QGIS tutorial , thanks for the help.

Thank you!

Change the setting from "Lock and fade" to "Off" of the LAYISO command

@@CivilTechSource Thanks dude

You’re welcome 😊

You are welcome, thanks for your input!

Hi my guess would be is that you need to run the flow model first o get the results first.

Interesting, thanks. I have run the model several times before but not during that session in Live Design, so I'll try that next.

Sorry what svp? You mean the foul SVP?

Hi my first guess would be that your dwg is not in the right coordinates (X & Y).

@@CivilTechSource wrong guess hehe, we are using htrs what I mention previously that I choice right coordinate system. Thx for answer !

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 [email protected] The process should be along the same line.

@@CivilTechSource thanks man!

Maybe you want to import it to qgis or other gis software to overlay some other data/layers

Thank you!!

Watch the QGIS video it's free.

Thank you!

The tutorial has been out a while ago so maybe the website has changed. But you can do it for free in qgis

You are welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

So you use model space to print stuff?

@@CivilTechSource i don't know anything about autocad so I cannot comment.

I see so basically think of the viewport as your drawing frame, I hope this helps.

No problem

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

Thank you!

Good question! I think there is a website that converts lat and long do x and y depending on the GIS system you use.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi my pc is an old spec, see below: Intel Core i7 6700K Processor Ram 32GB DDR4 2400mhz GTX1050ti but swapped to RTX3050 now. It appears your i9 2.4ghz might be the issue. 2.4ghz is low maybe go for something higher like 4ghz?

Nobody is an idiot, you just need the right teacher.
