Civil 3d - Draping 2D site layout on surface

parko202 · 2011-12-16 12:57:27

Hi Folks, I have a 3d surface generated from 1m contours however, the site infrastructure was drawn in 2D and thus has no z co-ordinates. Is there a way to drape the roads and other infrastructure onto the surface so that I can establish elevations at certain points? Thanks,

Set up your Surface, insert 2D drawing.

On the modify tab, go to edit levels. Hover over icons: levels from surface, click. A dialog box appears,pick your surface, OK.
Command Bar: Mulitiple/ Partial. Multiple lines follow surface. Partial vertices are control levels. Pick lines etc. Enter.

id points, they should be to surface levels
