| 3 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | h2. Making Feature line to polyline- |
| 4 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 5 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | Select the feature line> go to elevation editor (under feature line tab> edit elevations)> select all the points in table, give elevation(this will give same elevation to all the points thereby making it possible to retain the curves in the polyline) > explode the feature line (use X enter) |

| 7 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | h2. Converting Circle to polyline- |
| 8 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 9 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | BR > enter > break the circle at two points to obtain a part of circle. |
| 10 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | PEDIT> enter> select the part of leftover circle> J > enter> Close> enter. |

| 12 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | h2. Converting 2DPOLYLINE to POLYLINE |
| 13 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 14 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | Explode the 2D polyline, and use the PEDIT command to convert the segments to polylines. Then join the polylines. |

| 16 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | h2. Viewing only the used layer in ACAD- |
| 17 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 18 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | Set the value of SHOWLAYERUSAGE from 0 to 1 |
| 19 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 20 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | h2. Convert 3d polyline to polyline- |
| 21 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 22 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | COVERT3DPOLYS (Change the elevation of the polyline using properties manager to 0 in our case) |
| 23 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 24 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | h2. Generating contours from a Surface in Civil 3D |
| 25 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | |
| 26 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | # In prospector, Create a point group of points needed to generate the contours from for example- TOPO elevation points or BLDG floor levels. If the point group is already present, then proceed to next step. |
| 27 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | # Create a surface in the prospector> when creating the new surface, give the name and styling in the dialog box- styling used by us is "Triangles and surface- 0.1 and 0.5"> Assign the point groups in the surface as created in previous step. |
| 28 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | # Go to the surface created in prospector and right click > Edit surface style> Turn on the Major and Minor contour. |
| 29 | 1 | Giulio Di Anastasio | # Turn on the layers for Major and Minor contours in Layers Manager (LA > enter) |
