I have created a surface and for some reason at the flat spot locations Civil 3D is automatically inserting low points. Anyone know why this would be?

TIA

It happens when you add contours to the surface and choose to minimize flat areas and the other options. In 2010 I've heard of a bug that causes the elevations to be incorrect in those added points, I haven't experienced it. If you are using 2010 I'd send in a support request and give them your drawing so Autodesk knows that they need to fix it and what needs to be fixed.

Thanks... I will go back to V2009 and try and generate again. I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah... you were right... 2009 definitely fixed it. It is amazing. The surface in 2010 was giving me 25 foot pits all over the place and 2009 is perfect.

Thanks for the heads up.
