Civil 3d Subassembly Composer 2018
Coming from non-Civil 3D background, one of the first things that troubled me when migrating across was a simple earthworks modelling issue – ‘How do I transition a simple batter slope from 2:1 to 5:1 across a range of x metres?’I mean, this is something that is common practice within the industry, right? One thing I learned early in my design career is that no two linear metres of road are identical.After some digging around and looking into multiple ways to achieve this, I soon came to discover the absolute marvel that is the ‘Subassembly Composer’ (SC). This program ships with Civil 3D (from 2013 onwards), and simply lets you create (nearly) any kind of subassembly you can possibly imagine – with the added bonus of being able to apply intelligence to these subassemblies.Here’s how I like to approach this. If you have installed the ANZ Country Kit in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016, you will notice on the ‘Assemblies ANZ’ tab on the tool palette, there are a few new tools for ‘BatterTransition’ and ‘NumberTransform’ (more to come on that one).This subassembly was written in a few minutes pretty much as a learning tool for myself to get into the SC.
