To Work With Styles for Projected Objects in Profile View

Projected Autodesk Civil 3D objects use standard style editing dialog boxes. Projected AutoCAD objects use multipurpose styles that control the appearance of different object types in profile views and section views.

To edit styles for projected points, feature lines, or survey figures in profile view

  1. In the drawing window, in a profile view or section view, select the object for which to change the style. Right-click. Click the menu option for the object type: Edit Point Style, Edit Feature Line Style, Edit Survey Figure Style, or Edit Projection Style.

    OR

    In the Toolspace Settings tree, expand GeneralMultipurpose StylesProjection Styles. Right-click the style you want to change. Click Edit.

    Note: Multipurpose Projection Styles are used for AutoCAD objects. Each projection style includes settings for all types of AutoCAD objects that can be projected. Ensure that you have the correct object selected in the drop-down list when you are making the edits to the style.
  2. In the Projection Styles dialog box, make changes as required and click OK.

To edit label styles for points, 3D solids, and blocks that are projected into profile view

You can use profile view projection label styles to label points, 3D solids, blocks, and multi-view blocks in profile view.

  1. In the Toolspace Settings tree, expand Profile View Label StylesProjection. Right-click the style you want to change. Click Edit.
  2. In the Label Style Composer dialog box, make changes as required and click OK.

To edit styles for projected bridges in profile view

  1. In the Toolspace Settings tree, expand BridgeBridge Projection Styles. Right-click the style you want to change. Click Edit.
  2. In the Bridge Projection Style dialog box, make changes as required and click OK.

After a bridge is projected to a profile view, you can change the style that is used for the bridge by using the Projections tab of the Profile View Properties dialog box.

To edit label styles for projected bridges in profile view

  1. In the Toolspace Settings tree, expand BridgeLabel Styles.
  2. Expand a label style collection. Right-click the label style you want to change. Click Edit.
  3. In the Label Style dialog box, configure the label style.
  4. Click OK.

You can add these label styles to a bridge projection label set that you apply to projected bridges.

To edit label sets for projected bridges in profile view

  1. In the Toolspace Settings tree, expand BridgeLabel Styles Label Sets. Right-click the label set you want to change. Click Edit.
  2. In the Bridge Projection Label Set dialog box, configure label styles for the bridge components and add the label styles to the set.
    Tip: If you only want to label certain bridge components, you can limit the label set so that it includes label styles for only the components you want to label.
  3. Click OK.

After a bridge is projected to a profile view, you can change the label set that is used for the bridge by using the Projections tab of the Profile View Properties dialog box.

To control how projected AutoCAD solids are displayed in profile view

  1. In the Toolspace Settings tree, expand General Multipurpose Styles Projection Styles.
  2. Right-click a projection style and click Edit.
  3. On the Profile tab, select AutoCAD Solids.
  4. Select the As Drawn option.
  5. Select the Section check box.

    By selecting the Section check box in the projection style, the projected solid is drawn so that it represents the actual position of where the alignment crosses the solid. If you clear this check box, the projected solid is drawn as if the alignment crosses the centroid of the solid, regardless of the actual position of where the alignment crosses the solid.

  6. Save the projection style and apply it to the AutoCAD solids you project to profiles.
