Profile Linetype Generation

[SwChilly]

I'm using Civil 3D 2013.

 

I made a profile to show existing water pipes (instead of drawing out a pipe network).

 

I want to line to show as a line with w's on it. However parts of the profile are showing continuous instead.

 

I understand there is a way to fix this for polylines (ltype gen). Is there a way to fix this for profiles? I attached a picture.

 

Also how about pipes in plan view? I'm having issues with that as well.

In the pipe style editor, there is a drop down menu to select which view you want to modify.

 

Edit Pipe Style > Display Tab > drop down and select profile or plan view > then change the lines.

No that doesn't help me at all.

 

PIPES: The linetypes are as I want it but I would like to show them as if they are one continuous "polyline" and not seperate pipes? I'm not sure how to word it.

 

PROFILES: This is my real issue. I want to show the linetypes (the one with the w), again as if it is a polyline. You know how you can pedit a polyline and change the ltype gen? I want to do the same sort of thing with my profile but I don't know how. I can just trace a polyline over top (which is what I'm probably going to end up doing), but I didn't really want to do that.

I understand what you want to do although I don't think it is possible. As far as I know there is no way to make them act like a continuous polyline so that the linetype looks consistent.

Cant do it. I think they added that feature in 2014.

 

I know that dynamic surface profiles will display the way you want. Haha. probably too much work for that though. (Create a corridor, create surface, probably a new alignment and superimposed profiles. Yikes!)

 

I would copy the profile and explode the copied one and make it into a polyline. Turn the original profile to no display or no plot.
