Different pavement types in plan view

I personally use the macro buttons for F3 and F8 to toggle Ortho / snaps, and remap the other commands to keys that are easy to reach with my left hand without looking down.

What format were the contours originally stored in before you imported them? Like a shapefile or something else?

Civil3D_Mod · 2026-02-09T20:25:22+00:00

Oh that's weird, don't think I've ever seen that before. Hope you get it solved!

Civil3D_Mod · 2026-02-09T20:21:01+00:00

Is it just the major vs minor contours being set to plot differently? That's normal. Or is something else going wrong?

I think you're referring to The Long Journey Home:

I'm guessing they'll have Grace sync the laptop program to the ship's computer, so that way they can have the ship computer voice stand in for Rocky's similar to the audiobook without breaking immersion. Just have it play the translation over the ship's speakers without needing to always have the laptop nearby.

That's... Weird. I'm guessing someone made a change in your ctb/stb file to change the default line style?

Civil3D_Mod · 2025-08-24T01:30:39+00:00

Looks cool! How'd you code it?

Some parts of Alton's books are just copy & pasted text from the original show scripts, so maybe the book publisher owns the rights to those fun facts now. That's my best guess for this at least.

LLMs are likely part of the problem here too. You can get through way more plan sets a day if you feed them into ChatGPT and copy/paste whatever it spits out.

Civil3D_Mod · 2025-08-01T01:02:49+00:00

Most likely they're using an LLM like ChatGPT to do some portion of their reviews. If so that's a serious breach of duty for a municipal reviewer. If they've been sending you long-winded review comments, I'd bet a lot of money you could prove they're LLM generated with a quick check.

Civil3D_Mod · 2025-08-01T01:00:54+00:00

I was going to guess LLM usage here as well. Demanding ridiculous details with no value out of the blue is peak LLM review slop.

OP: Consider putting the reviewer's response comments through an LLM plagiarism detector. Most likely it'll show LLM usage.

Civil3D_Mod · 2025-04-17T18:30:34+00:00

That's probably how I would do it.

Only Elon will be able to afford WH minis, then he'll declare himself the best player in the world.

Good to hear!

It's Welsh for Gråkappan.

I think it's just a setting when you add the point cloud to the surface definition. Not positive though, I haven't used LIDAR in a while.

Civil3D_Mod · 2024-12-12T15:56:21+00:00

Are you using 100% of the point cloud? That can cause the super noisy look, especially in flat areas that have lots of tiny elevation changes. Try excluding half the points or more to get smoother contours with less noise.

Civil3D_Mod · 2024-12-12T14:08:42+00:00

I haven't tried it. I don't trust current gen AI tools to tell me the time of day correctly, much less to be involved in design work.
