Export out to landXML, include date in landXML filename. What I would do is have one file with the surface from DEM. To go from DEM to Triangles to Contours to Triangles actually results in a larger, slower, and less accurate surface IMO. I usually only use contours for a surface definition if that is the source data (for example a pond design). I know you can set the contour frequency to be finer but I typically shy away from creating surfaces from contours, especially for flat areas. Really good suggestion about renaming xref and Dref source drawings, that saved me a few times. Hopefully this helps with some answers without me replying to each individual one. I try not to have auto rebuild on but may have for some of themīoth corridors i made are using feature lines for baselines (curbing and Lot-sidewalk) Lot Sidewalk Surface - This is the surface that i created after asking about doing the sidewalk/ada ramp in other thread, also the one in which it initially crashed when trying to paste it into the FG Parkin Lot surface.Ĭ3D 2022 was used to start the design and just installed 2023 Parking Lot Volume: volume surface using the EG and FG Parking Lot to make sure we are good on cut/fill as we were going along Interim surface: basic prelim surface to get idea of how i want lot to flowĬurbing: Corridor surface for the curb and gutter that makes up my lotįG-Parking Lot: what will be my final surface for the lot, has the Curbing pasted into it as well as other info for draining as i updated it There are a few aspects to this design, this was just first one.Ĭreated surfaces in dwg, in order i made them:

In the grand scheme of things, it istn a very large parking lot that I am grading, so starting over isnt the worst option, I just dont want to make same mistake if its something i can avoid. The upside is that it does eventually open up, but then I try to change vport configuration and it locks up again (by this i mean i get the 'computing Contours' bar on bottom right). Thank you all for the replies!! Most are talking about same figured I would just do one reply with some info on drawing and see where we can go from there. Discussion is always welcome but try to do at least some basic Google searches before you reach out to others.Imgur links are usually best for screenshots. Screenshots or drawing files make troubleshooting easier, but don't include sensitive personal or corporate information.We can't help with problems that we can't understand.
