You'd probably be aware that Austroads have revised the Urban & Rural Geometric Design Guidelines, and coupled with the recent court rulings removing non-feasance as a defence, I'd say this would make a pretty compelling case for the clients to be sure they're getting what's required to mitigate...

If it's just a lot survey, perhaps you & mate can trundle around with a dumpy level. This will allow you to pick up all the bits of info of note, and you can contour the site relative to, say, the road. I can't imagine a surveyor would charge a lot for this work either, as it's not likely to...

Well, if you can wear the cost the surveyor can pick up absolutely everything, down to tree species if required. If the pickup is done using a flash total station which can log feature codes, you can download this data to a package (I'm using 12d) with a library of symbols and linetypes to match...

Well I'll be... Googling showed there appeared to be a dozen variations on this problem, but this one did the trick. A star for thee :) Ta.

Hi all, I'm using Autocad2000 on a WinXP machine, and have recently had the following problem appear. When using what I think are TrueType fonts (Ariel etc) they appear on screen as they should, but on previewing and printing they appear as a hollow outlined font. This happens even if I write as...

It really depends on the level of detail the surveyor can provide to you. Then having a nice library of blocks you can produce something even an Architect will use ;). For civil applications however, my tendancy is to simple line drawings, no hatching etc, as the earthworks contractors I deal...

Thanks for the replies, esp. semo with regard to the solenoid valve, I shall have a closer look. Regards, GAllen

Hi all, I am designing a pumped system which will be transferring mildly saline nutrient rich water around an aquaculture project. The animals are very sensitive to H2S at low levels, which is going to form if the water sits in the pipes and goes anoxic. Is there a way of configuring the pump so...

This is for MBN: You can download the US Army program here, it's in the public domain. http://www.cecer.army.mil/USMT/WHAMO/whamo.htm cheers GAllen

Thanks for the replies. There seems to be a bit of a glitch in that the default option of [PATH] is not being selected, but there are no problems when I type PATH on selecting the object to extrude. cheers, GAllen

Hi all, I am having some difficulty in drawing simple pipe runs in 3D. I have no experience with 3D, but have nutted out some slab layouts etc, but have the following problem: If I draw pipe CL, if it is not in an ortho plane then the extrusion of a circular face does not follow the path, but...

Thanks guys, I'll have a closer look at the arrays & offset function, as I have not used these before. I just couldn't get the pivot tables to give me what I wanted. It's not all bad tho', a friend made a little C++ proggy which did the trick, although the workings are doubly incomprehensible...

Hi all, I have a 62 year rainfall record on which a number of calculations are performed. The data set is used to model the performance of a set of ponds to determine spill occurrence, make-up volumes etc. Is there a way to perform a sort of conditional sumif based on the dates? For example to...

I don't know if you're still following the thread, but I have a couple of RATS lisp routines for R14 which may be able to be tweaked to work in 2002 etc. Let me know on ntcadsATyahooDOTcomDOTau cheers GAllen

Thanks for the reminder dsi! A star is now wending it's merry way to roberto, thanks again. GAllen
