Working with sites
- The use of Sites is an important concept in Civil 3D. Let's take a look at how Sites work. You can see in the middle of my parking lot here I've got two peculiar looking Feature Lines that just cross one another. And if you look at them over here in 3D view, they look even stranger. What's going on here? If I click these two objects and look at them in Object Viewer, you can see as I spin them around that one of the Feature Lines is actually bending to match the other one. That's a clue about what Sites are. A Site is kind of an imaginary space, and the objects within a Site can detect each other and interact with each other according to the rules of Civil 3D. For example, one of the rules is, when two Feature Lines that share the same Site cross each other, they have to share an elevation which means one will bend to the other. Another rule is, if an alignment or a Feature Line crosses through a parcel, it will…
