Editing Civil 3D Feature Line Geometry using "Fit Curve" & "Smooth"

Feature lines are one of the major components used to define a 3D design. For that reason, Civil 3D provides a large tool set for the purpose of editing feature line geometry. In this session we’ll make some modifications to a feature line using the “Fit Curve” and “Smooth” tools.

Thank you, Jeff! I have been watching your videos for a couple of years, and I think you are the best! Thank you so much!

[@JeffBartelsCAD]

You are very welcome

This works for 2D polylines as well. Thank you so much for this! We receive mapping from other programs and the lines are a series of millions of vertices connecting tiny straight lines. Using PEDIT-Fit first, and then FitCurve, this cleans up those lines brilliantly!

You can not create an arc with different elevations at random points using any of AutoCAD commands (line, polyline, arc, circke or 3D polyline). However, the method as suggested in your comment will work only when working on a flat plane.

Nice sir

Sir Jeff Bartels, ....I have vertical profile data in text file. So, We can make vertical profile line from file data. Is it possible, how?.... Kindly share us about its.

Sir, how can we create the feature lines from break lines?

[@ayafort.lesley9842]

how do you link this to infraworks

[@poppachula]

life save ta

[@bijouym]

didn't know this and I always hated editing featurelines..duh...

[@JeffBartelsCAD]

Glad to hear the recording was helpful!
