Creating and Manipulating Civil 3D Sample Lines

By default, the sample lines created in Civil 3D are placed perpendicular to an alignment. That said, if your design requires “skewed” or “multi-segment” sample lines, they can also be created very easily. In this session we’ll explore how to create (and edit) sample lines that meet most any need.

i followed all steps however on the last steps just empty boxes were shown. Furthermore I don't know why all my styles are just standard and no other options.

Hello sir,
Is it possible to show spot elevation on sample lines at particular offset interval

[fcamargo]

I gave a like before watching your video! :)
Excellent video as always.

Jeff the man. I love how you can straighten the sample in one click and how you can create sample line from polyline. Have a great day from NZ, bro

Great video as always.
For those who may be coming from the mechanical CAD industry, this method allows for "offset sections"

is it possible to create sample lines that can accurately track the boundaries of my cut and fill slopes? I had a tough time modifying my sample lines width trying to get then to be big when needed and short in areas that did not require to much fill or cut

Hi, I need to rotate several sample lines at the same time. I have some troubbles with section views when I use an offset subassembly for example because the section corridor doesn't shows in de section view. I solve this problem by rotating the sample line 0.01 degrees. But I need to do this among 300 sections.. Thank you for your time!

How to change all sections number, see at first i did every 25 meters sections for calculation volumes but i want sections each 50 meters for drawings how to change 25 meters to 50 meters

another great video Jeff. keep up the good work.

Dear Mr Jeff,
Can you send me Civil 3d 2018 link. i will appreciate if you could send me

[muneebkhan]

Thanks you Sir
Please Sir helps me.
I have watched your previous videos. In this video you have Draw/Create assemblies. When you click on screen to create assemblie the Name appeared on the bottom of assmblie. Please how I will do this
help me

Jeff, I have a problem with Civil 3D, how to make a road corridor using a different assembly, combining between start station and end stations Assembly, such as making dams, retaining walls or others where every 25m distance of the foundation are varies like height, size and shape. would you help me, please..

[lispovxyooj]

Hi sir I would like to as you how to sold the sample line doesn’t start at the first station 0+000 and doesn’t show the section view at 0+000

[Lawi_Jake]

What font did you use for contour labels? It looks good

[naseeryounasbhatti]

sir i have one questiin. when we create sample line n make x section fron these sample lines. in x section view draw 2 surfaces one always represente design surface n other one represnt OGL surface. here my queation is can we get Ogl point report at sample line on surface for whole alignment Ogl surface.? its posible or not if it is posible please make a video for the same. thanks

[naseeryounasbhatti]

my mean how can interpolate ogl for each station on sample line .for whole alignment n get report.?

[ronsparas]

Amazing tutorial. Sir do u have a video regarding topographic survey? For example tips and tricks how to manage survey figures and description keys. Thanks.

[dougfinlay]

So much easier than 12d Model software!

Mentor, you are always the best.... best video
