WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:11.000 Welcome back. In this video, we're going to start talking about profiles. So the first thing that we do when we create a profile inside civil 3D is that we go ahead and create a surface profile. 00:11.000 --> 00:15.000 So in order to do that, what we're going to go ahead and do is we're going to navigate to the ribbon bar. 00:15.000 --> 00:22.000 We're going to go to the profile drop down and inside profile drop down, you'll see the option for create surface profile. 00:22.000 --> 00:30.000 Now below create surface profile, we have the options for profile creation tools, which is just like the alignment creation tools tool bar. 00:30.000 --> 00:36.000 We have a create best fit profile, which you can use points and create a best fit profile from those points. 00:36.000 --> 00:42.000 You can create a profile from a file, you can do a quick profile, which we'll talk about later. 00:42.000 --> 00:47.000 You can create a superimposed profile and you can create a profile from a corridor. 00:47.000 --> 00:53.000 So from here, the first thing we're going to do is we're going to select create surface profile. 00:53.000 --> 01:01.000 So once we've done that, what civil 3D is going to ask us is it's going to ask us what alignment do we want to have this surface profile associated with. 01:01.000 --> 01:09.000 And so what a surface profile is, is it's a profile of the surface as the alignment runs along that service. 01:09.000 --> 01:14.000 So we have three alignments that we're going to go ahead and create profiles for. 01:14.000 --> 01:19.000 So the first thing we're going to do is we're going to select our alignment ex highway. 01:19.000 --> 01:22.000 The surface that we're going to use is the Civ 202 surface. 01:22.000 --> 01:27.000 And then we have the options for the ranges for how we're going to cut this surface. 01:27.000 --> 01:34.000 So we have the options for the start and end alignments and then we have the options for. 01:34.000 --> 01:38.000 If we wanted to sample it and what sampling stations we would have it at. 01:38.000 --> 01:43.000 So we're going to go ahead and leave these as they are starting at zero ending at the end station. 01:43.000 --> 01:45.000 These are auto generated for us. 01:45.000 --> 01:49.000 And then we're going to go ahead and have this surface selected. 01:49.000 --> 01:58.000 We're not going to do a sample offset and we're just going to go ahead and hit add because we don't want to have any offset alignments or profiles created. 01:58.000 --> 02:00.000 So we're going to go ahead and click add. 02:00.000 --> 02:03.000 And we're going to go go ahead and click OK. 02:03.000 --> 02:11.000 Now what civil 3D is going to tell us here is that profiles that we created and listed in prospector use the create profile view command. 02:11.000 --> 02:13.000 To display in profile view. 02:13.000 --> 02:16.000 So that's what we're going to do in the next video. 02:16.000 --> 02:22.000 But before we go to the next video, we're going to go ahead and create those surface profiles for our other two alignments. 02:22.000 --> 02:26.000 So I'm going to go ahead and drop down into profile create surface profile. 02:26.000 --> 02:34.000 Again, what we have here is we have the same window and we have the same profile here for service profiles. 02:34.000 --> 02:37.000 All of our surface profiles will populate inside this window. 02:37.000 --> 02:46.000 So what we're going to go ahead and do is click dev main surface add and dev branch surface add. 02:46.000 --> 02:49.000 We're going to go ahead and click OK. 02:49.000 --> 03:00.000 And civil 3D again is going to tell us that we have profiles that have been created and they need to be displayed in a profile view window in order for us to view them. 03:00.000 --> 03:12.000 So what you may have noticed when we went ahead and we went into our surface profile window is that as you select different alignments, this window down here changes. 03:12.000 --> 03:20.000 The only profiles that show up in this profile list are profiles associated with the specific alignment that's highlighted. 03:20.000 --> 03:28.000 So ex highway has a profile dev main should have a profile, but it doesn't because I didn't apply and approve that. 03:28.000 --> 03:30.000 And then we have branch. 03:30.000 --> 03:35.000 So I'm going to go ahead and go back click dev main surface add and click OK. 03:35.000 --> 03:39.000 Now we have the three surface profiles that we need. 03:39.000 --> 03:42.000 I'm going to go ahead and save. 03:42.000 --> 03:45.000 And then I'll meet you in the next video.
