Taking Advantage of Pasted Civil 3D Surfaces

One of the more powerful Civil 3D surface modeling tools is the ability to “paste” surfaces. Using the paste feature, multiple surfaces can be consolidated into a single surface while still maintaining a dynamic link back to the pasted originals. In this session we’ll explore a workflow that leverages pasted surfaces.

Dear Jeff, I always watch over and over again you incredible videos. Im also very skilled in C3D, but through your videos I always find you better ways to do various things! Big thanks and regards from Auckland, New Zealand :) Mickey

How to solve this type of problem: I have surfaces "A" and "B". Surface "B" has a hole inside of it (this is very important), lets say like ring or donut. To simplify, surface "A" is bottom of cup, and surface "B" is wall of that cup (wall is not vertical, it has a slope 1.5:1). They are created in separate files. I want to create surface "C" pasting surfaces "A" and "B". To do this, I created new file, new surface "C", imported surfaces "A" and "B" using data reference. In term of definition "C", I must first paste surface "A", and then paste surface "B" (in that exact order, let me not explain to you why, just take it for granted). But, when I paste surface "B" after pasting surface "A", surface "C" gets the same hole inside of ring, instead of elevations from "A". How to force Civil 3D to have elevations from "A", instead of hole from "B" in that area? I am designing a regional landfill, and things are not simple at all, but I simplify to you as much as I can.

it's very useful video thank you , and i need to ask you one question , i have file , this file has message warning message how i can hiden it because it's make my file very difficult this is a message (Warning Tuesday, March 13, 2018 9:02:26 AM Corridor Section DELL Corridor is out of date and may be out of sync with other objects) how i can hidden it .and make it don't open when i open this file . regards

Thanks, for this great video. I am trying to export my combined surface into an xml and thne when opening the xml in microstation It doesn't show up right do you have some pointers about how to get this done?

Hi Jeff, Sometime my surface does not swap the edge of triangle, it keeps saying this edge can not be swap and also won't allow to add a line. Would you please let me know wht should I do situation like this?

[@md-mohammed8455]

How I will create surface if I have 2 elevation at same coordinate. 1 elevation for bottom slab 2 elevation for top slab. Please guide

Hi Mr. Jeff, thanks for that informative tutorial! i have a querry regarding surfaces, this might be a long shot and i hope you understand what iam trying to convey. first of all i have an existing surface, from that surface i will make a corridor (existing road) and from that corridor i can provide a surface. now i have an existing surface and a corridor surface. basically from the corridor surface i can get the cut values against the existing surface. here's where it gets a bit tricky for me, i will make another corridor based on the profile of the existing corridor but this time it will be in a different assembly(depth and width). when i do the cut values for the new corridor how can i exclude the cut values from the previous corridor? i tried making a composite surface out of the existing surface and corridor surface but i think some quantities get overlooked. i hope you understand what iam tryin to convey. sorry for the long question. -erwindavid

hello sir, did you find a solution for your problem, i'm facing the same the same problem i hope you read this.
