- So you have probably heard by now that SP3 for Civil 3D 2007 is out, and has a bunch of fixes and a bunch of performance improvements. Here is a fix that you may not be aware of, or at least didn't care about before.
Pre SP3 we had a weird issue with render materials on Civil 3D surfaces and corridors. Sometimes all the textures would show and sometimes they wouldn't.

Here is an image form a small project I worked on a couple months back. You can see that the grass on the left side of the road and all of the material in the road itself is just a flat color; no texture. But on the right side of the road, the grass has the texture it should.
Here is the same project rendered after SP3 was installed.

Now you can see it renders all the textures, making for a much better picture. All I did was simply install SP3, and opened the drawing that I had done the original rendering in, and BAM, all was right in the world again.
Till next time,
Cheers,
