    groundwater question

    I have a question on groundwater mounding analysis using Hantush equation that i would like to ask the experts here. my understanding of the Hantush method is that the mound will form (in 3D) from the center of the basin and going outwards, as the picture below...

    hec-hms question

    i have a model set up, which i have run for SCS storms. i would like to bring in 15 minute rainfall data for a month, and re-run my basin model for that rainfall period. i could bring the rain gage data in through time series manager, but cannot create a run using it. any help/ideas to point me...

    labeling % slope and distance to feature lines

    labeling is pretty straight-forward, but here's what i am trying to do: i may have a feature line with 4 or 5 vertices. after i extract the elevation from a previously built surface, i want to set up a style that will pick the Z for the very first point, Z for the very last point, divide by the...

    civil 3D cross sections-wish list

    this has been in my wish list for a while now, regarding cross sections. i want the proposed ground cross section line to physically stop when the proposed hits existing. currently, when i do multiple section views, a lot of them have proposed section right on top of existing section (because...

    civil 3D curve and line table-bottom to top!

    does anyone know why curve and line table (segment table) in civil 3D is reading from bottom of the table to top of the table in my case? my elements go clockwise, i want the table to read from top to bottom, from the first element to the last.

    civil 3D line and curve table

    apart from the parcel as mentioned in my previous thread, another thing i am noticing that, if i do a line and curve tag for a closed polygon, it creates the tags in anti-clockwise fashion. also, the table items are in anti-clockwise order. i am trying to make the table coherent, so that the end...

    civil 3D parcel table

    i have a three closed polygons from which i created a three parcels. two things i am struggling with are: 1) when i add labels to the first parcel (line and curve tags), i force it to start the numbering from 1 with increments of 1. works fine for the first parcel. when i add labels for the...

    lisp to automatically set a predefined layer current

    i have created a XREF layer in our template and here's my plan: instead of asking people to remember to set the XREF layer current before xref-ing drawings in, i would like to automate this with a lisp, so that, every time someone types xr or xref in the command line, the lisp would trigger and...

    sampling along an alignment

    this is what i intend to do: i will have a bunch of adjacent hatches, and i will have the alignment on top of it(see attached picture). what i want to do is to make the alignment line sample from the hatch below and tell me from which station to which station, its color green, blue, pink etc, or...

    xrefs in viewport layer set as do not plot

    i have a habit of creating a "XREF" layer in a production file which i make active before xref'ing design files. sometimes, i find others (not really following the procedure) have xrefs in the viewport layer and going crazy about why it does not show up in plot preview and plotted sheets. does...

    i have two mtexts, each has a field. i want to have a third mtext which would be field 1+ field 2. is that possible? i looked around and found some postings about "arithmetic functions in autocad fields" where they say FIELD>ALL>EXPRESSION to do it. i cannot seem to find 'EXPRESSION' in the ALL...

    layer states for split model view-not paperspace

    if i split the model space view by VIEW>VIEWPORTS> then multiple viewports, is it possible to have different layer states for each of those model views? i mean, in view 1, i want to see layers 1,2 and three on, while in view 2, i only want to see layer 1 and 2 on etc. is it doable? regards.

    another profile/ profile view question in civil 3D

    i have a proposed profile that starts at 0+00, cuts down, then comes back up and hits existing at 5+00, then rides existing till 7+00, cuts down again, then finally meets the existing back at the end of the alignment (15+00). in my profile view, i want the existing profile to show for the entire...
