- Ok, I left it a little while until this post, but I am sure you will appreciate what I am delivering this week.
I dropped a couple of themes last time to what I would be covering over the next couple of posts and this week it is 'Enhanced Cross Sections'.
Nick Zeeben on Wicked Cool Stuff Blog (Link to pages) a couple of weeks ago went through some of the basics, but here is it all packed up and ready to go!
For the UK and Ireland and a lot of other countries out there we need more in our cross sections and also in the bands.
The document below is a step by step workflow on how to get setup.

You will need the UK template file, so either use the Official Country Kit at this location
or if you are not from the UK and Ireland, here is my template.
_Autodesk Civil 3D 2008 UK_IE.dwt
Within the document it tells you which styles you will require, so you can drag them across from this template and into your own. (If you are not sure on how to do this please let me know on the comment log below and I can post that next)
Also required is a toolpallete, this we could not include in the Country Kit this time, but is an essential part of this workflow.

Installation instructions are provided in the document.
Have fun.!!!
Thanks to Joerg Pipo and Peter Funk for the original concept and clever stuff!!
Until next time
