cms370 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 All, I am new to AutoCad and Civil 3D. I have used plain autocad in the past. I have been exploring the capability of Civil 3D for a new project I have. I am not in the Civil field, but I need to be able to modify existing ground geometry. Basically create a path/road through exisiting surface. Simply stated, all that I need is the new file with the existing modified surface. I dont need detailed drawings/figures, just a plain old DXF file with the modified geometry. I have been working my way through the tutorials. Points, Surfaces, Alignments, Corridors, Profiles, etc. Essentially, these are the the things I am looking to do. However, I am still not sure if I can do what I need to do. Will civil 3D be able to produce just the modified DXF geometry? I hope this questions is not too ridiculous/confusing...just trying to make sure I am not wasting my time if it cant do what I need it to do. Thanks for the help.

feargt Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 to answer your question without querying why you just want a dxf file. it is possible to explode civil 3d objects so that they are just autocad objects such as polylines 3d polylines etc. From there you can save to a dxf file But it would still be worth knowing what is the final end result you want and then maybe it would be possible to help you more efficiently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms370 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 The output DXF is used in another machine simulation package. I need a way to modify the ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
