To Add Projected Objects to a Profile View

Project AutoCAD or Autodesk Civil 3D objects from plan view into a profile view.

You can project AutoCAD points, blocks, 3D solids, and 3D polylines; you can also project Autodesk Civil 3D COGO points, feature lines, survey figures, and bridges that have been brought into Civil 3D from InfraWorks.

1. Click Home tabProfile & Section Views panelProfile View drop-downProject Objects To Profile View Find.
2. Click one or more objects in the drawing that you want to project. Right-click or press Enter after all objects are selected.
   Note: To select a bridge to project, you only need to select one of the bridge components, such as a deck or pier.
3. Click the profile view in which you want the objects to appear.
4. In the Project Objects to Profile View dialog box, verify the settings such as Elevation Options and Label Style, then click OK.
   Note: The Elevation Option and Elevation Value cannot be specified for bridges that have been brought into Civil 3D from InfraWorks.
5. If the elevation of one or more objects is outside of a manually specified profile view elevation range, a task dialog box is displayed. Click one of the following:
   • Do Not Add Objects Outside Of Limits: Does not add objects that are outside the range of the profile view.
   • Add All Objects: Adds all objects, regardless of their elevation. Some objects may not be visible in the profile view, but they are still associated with the profile view and are visible on the Profile View Properties dialog box Projections tab.
     Note: You can make the object visible by changing the elevation property of the profile view. On the Profile View Properties dialog box, Elevations tab, change User Specified Height to Automatic Height.
