Streamlining Autodesk Deployments: How CQi Simplifies the Installation Process
For many organisations, Autodesk software is mission-critical — used daily across design, engineering, and construction teams.
When you are modelling grading objects in Civil 3D, you may require using different slopes along the same feature line. While this is simple enough (just select ‘No’ when you get the ‘Apply to entire length?’ prompt in the command line), modelling the transition between those grading objects can require more care.
If the transition occurs along a straight line, you can use the ‘Create Transition’ tool, as shown below:
However, this tool in Civil 3D will not help if you want the transition to take place on a corner. In that particular case, the process is more manual. You will need to complete the top or toe of the slope with a feature line and then model the transition as an infill. The workflow is detailed below:
Depending on the constraints that you have, you may want to model the transition with a different geometry like an arc or a straight line.
