The the Civil 3D Feature Line object will import as a 2D line and maintain its Curve Geometry. Combine this DWG with the Project LandXML and in most cases you will have the data you need. If you set it to 1 and save the drawing you can import the drawing into TBC and the AEC objects (Contours, Points, Corridor section lines, profiles, etc) will all import and be CAD lines in TBC. There is a setting in Civil 3D called Proxygraphics, it is a toggle and can be set to 1 or 0. At this point though the extra expense and time spent learning it don’t pencil out. If I had more use for C3D it might be valuable to have. More work for me and I know the data I give to field works and is accurate. It is cheaper to give it to the contractor who ends up having to finish and create workable plans. It is expensive to have engineers and architects build fully usable constructable models. I think that until agencies and project owners fully comprehend the value of machine control for construction we will keep getting half baked plans.

So CAD files that were once full of rectangular boxes were now mostly useable linework.

In a recent update I noticed that C3D files were being interpreted better. I bought Bricscad a few years back which helps me deal with CAD files. I also do not own/rent any Autodesk software. Fortunately I can generally get them to send me “dumbed down” AutoCAD drawings with useable 2D linework. I also found that some of the LandXML surface files would have their materials layering mixed and give bad values. I did try making use of their work and found I spent hours only to learn it had enough flaws to not use in the end.

So I generally do not trust any 3D linework I receive and end up redoing the lines anyway. Particularly if the drafter is not a long time user of C3D. I have found their 3D work (like LandXML files) can require them to do addition work for it to be accurate. Their scale is broader and somewhat more generalized. It seems that the designers are not necessarily making fully construction grade drawings. Therefore I find that the CAD drawings I receive are in varying degrees of usability and accuracy.

I was also told by a few users that C3D is a piece of software that requires 10K-15K of hours to become proficient. I’ve found that many, if not most engineer/architects I interact with use C3D.
