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

2. Expand a label style collection. Right-click the label style you want to change. Click Edit.

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.

   By selecting the Section tick 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 tick 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.
