Structures template layers

Last updated: 2024-05-01

The WisDOT Structures Civil 3D customizations require custom AutoCAD layers. WisDOT Structures custom layers are embedded in the two Structures drawing templates . For more information about roadway layers, see the WisDOT layers page. For basic information about using and manipulating layers, see the Layers and their properties page.

If structures layers are missing from a drawing, they can be imported using the Import structures layers tool. WisDOT Roadway layers can also be imported as needed using the Add individual component tool for layers. Unused non-standard layers can then be purged from a structures file by using the Purge non-structures styles tool.

Layers Component group

Info:
  • Many of the structures layers have more broad (B_ANNO) and more restrictive (B_ANNO_TEXT_TITLE) alternatives. Either are acceptable to use.
  • WisDOT Structures follow the WisDOT plot standards. Changing the color of an element in Civil 3D will change what color it plots according to the plot style tables as explained in the WisDOT plot standards page and the Structures template plot colors page.

  • Details of the linetypes used in structures layers can be found on the Structures template linetypes page.

The layer filters can be used to find layers more quickly. The following filters are included in the structures template:

Filter List

Each filter contains only layers required to draw the filter's structure element. Some layers appear in multiple filters.
