Dec 22, 2016. Have you ever tried to import your survey points into InfraWorks 360 using a simple CSV tabular format like an Excel spreadsheet? Admittedly, without knowledge of FDO, GDAL, and OGR, this can seem like a daunting workflow at first. But once you get the hang of it, it's a pretty. You have not yet voted on this site!

Many thanks for your replies. Halo Combat Evolved Pc Download Kickass. However, I am still getting an error message when I attempt to import text files this way. The message is as follows: Error parsing value in line 1: Value: Easting Northing Elevation FC ID Invalid characters found in input string 'Easting Northing Elevation FC ID' It seems that the issue relates to AutoCAD not being able to distinguish between the different values given in the text file tables of data, which is what I would have expected to happen due to the nature of the text file. I have attached one of the files that I am trying to upload, just so that you can see the content of the text files that I hope to be uploading.

Hi sph306, You can use TopoGX to load this sort of data, triangulate and export as a 3D surface suitable for Civil3D. Take a look at to see your 3D surface (you can rotate it in the webpage).

I have also included a low res image of part of the sites 3D contours draped onto Google Earth straight from TopoGX. Let me know if you want the KML file?

Hope thats useful for you. Dave sph306 wrote: >Many thanks for your replies. However, I am still getting an error >Preset Viewer Serial Number. message when I attempt to import text files this way.

Purchase cost aside, we have found Civil3D to be complex and difficult to use. The usual response from Civil3D help is 'we need more training' which is both time consuming and costly. We wrote TopoGX in such a way that the user requires little or no training to use it.

In this case, all that was required to load the file into TopoGX was to rename the file to a '.csv' and do 'file ->open'. Everything else is automated to make it as easy and simple for the end users.

Even the surface triangulation is fully automated so all the user has to do is click on the 'show contours' button or any of the other tools like surface height colouring or 3D View. Users might want to use TopoGX to appraise any 3D Surface using the inbuilt 3D viewer and surface tools. I personally find it much easier to use than the Autocad 3D Orbit tool as you don't need to mess around with surface/display styles and settings. As for 'jumping through hoops', I can load the csv file, triangulate, contour and save to Google Earth KML or 3D Mesh in around the 10 second mark. This is particularly useful for more complex surfaces like 2D and 3D DXF's. Hope this helps, Dave Terry W.

Hi all, I have the following 8 points of XYZ-coordinates: Location SampleID X Y Z Depth Elevation FGACDC-SS01 FGACDC-SS01-S1 -77.05585 314.5 0.5 315 FGACDC-SS01 FGACDC-SS01-S2 -77.05585 297 18 315 FGACDC-SS02 FGACDC-SS02-S1 -77.055843 319.5 0.5 320 FGACDC-SS02 FGACDC-SS02-S2 -77.055843 302 18 320 FGACDC-SS03 FGACDC-SS03-S1 -77.056236 311.5 0.5 312 FGACDC-SS03 FGACDC-SS03-S2 -77.056236 294 18 312 FGACDC-SS04 FGACDC-SS04-S1 -77.056291 304.5 0.5 305 FGACDC-SS04 FGACDC-SS04-S2 -77.056291 287 18 305 These 8 points are for 4 sampling locations with 2 depths for each sampling location. I used AutoCAD 2012 a little bit before and I am new in using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013. Please give me the key steps and tips of using the values of XYZ-coordinates listed the above-mentioned table to input manually into the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 program.
