How to build a Civil 3D Surface using Text objects

In this (6 min) video, I show how you can incorporate simple text objects (containing elevation data) into the creation of your Civil 3D surface using the MoveTextToElevation tool. In doing so, it provides yet another tool to leverage almost anything to quickly and easily create a Civil 3D surface.

    you can type the command at the command line or select surfaces on the top menu bar, then utilities, then move text to elevation. great job Jerry, this will come in handy on occasion

    using the data extraction command to create a point file with the xy and text contents s z lets you end up with point objects that you can then apply styles to if you want to keep the points values showing and looking nice also can add subtract an offset in excel so you do not have to adjust the insertion points of the object

    This is genius. This also would have saved me so much time and allowed for extra accuracy (when I get too lazy to create a new point for every little elevation label.)

    Great video, Jerry! If the text is actually part of a label that is dynamically linked to a feature line, which is in turn linked to a corridor, will the text object dynamically update the surface with a "re-build" command?

    Use the move command. Select all of the points you want to move, use base point 0,0,0 the move the points to 0,0,(difference in elevation)
