The New Inquiry Tool in Civil 3D 2007

I’m in the middle of preparing for Autodesk Boot Camp, a 5 day training session in Dallas, Texas for reseller sales and AE’s. I’ve got all my software downloaded and installed, and I’m playing with what SHOULD be the final incarnation of Civil 3D 2007 before I get my DVD in the mail.

A nice new feature in C3D 2007 is the addition of an Inquiry Tool. This is a dockable window, similar to the Properties window. It includes Inquiry Tools, of all things! You can find it under the General menu in C3D 2007. Here’s what it looks like:

It includes many different inquiries that will prove to be very useful in the design process:

  • Point – Point Inverse
  • Surface – Elevation and Grade at Point, Elevation and Grade Between Points
  • Alignment – Station and Offset at Point, Station and Offset and Profile Elevation at Point, Station and Offset and Surface Elevation at Point, Two Stations and Offsets Between Points
  • Profile View – Station and Elevation at Point, Elevation and Grade Between Points
  • Profile – Station and Elevation at Point, Elevation Difference at Station
  • Section View – Offset and Elevation at Point, Elevation and Grade Between Points
  • Section – Offset and Elevation at Point, Elevation Difference at Station
  • Corridor Section – Offset and Elevation at Point, Elevation and Grade Between Points, Elevation Difference at Offset
