View2Plan

Green Road Group

Dynamically project Section and Profile view geometry directly onto the Plan View in Autodesk® Civil 3D®. Features live 3D polylines, GPU graphics, and robust Undo.

Free

GreenRoad View2Plan is an advanced, high-performance projection tool designed exclusively for Autodesk® Civil 3D®. It allows civil engineers, drafters, and designers to map instantly and project geometry from Section Views and Profile Views directly onto the Plan View in real-time.

Whether you are digitizing linear structures, tracking utility crossings, or defining grading limits, this tool bridges the gap between your vertical and horizontal design environments with absolute precision.

Key Features: 

Hardware-Accelerated Temporary Graphics: Utilizes the Transient Graphics API to draw temporary tracking markers (Cross, Circle, Node) and lines directly on your GPU. This provides zero database bloat and keeps your DWG files clean.

  • Live 3D Polyline Generation: As you click points on a Section or Profile grid, the corresponding 3D Polyline and Cogo Points (or DBPoints) are instantly drawn on the Plan View.
  • Bulletproof Undo System (Ctrl+Z / U): Made a mistake while clicking? Simply type 'U' to step back. The tool safely removes the last drawn vertex and temporary graphics without breaking the active command.
  • Smart UI & Configuration: A modern, dark-themed PaletteSet allows you to control layer assignments, colors, object types, and tracking styles. Settings are saved to the Windows Registry for extreme stability across sessions.
  • Clean Execution: Temporary graphics can be configured to clear immediately upon command completion, or stay on screen until the next REGEN, REDRAW, or QSAVE command.
  • Maximize your drafting speed and accuracy with GreenRoad View2Plan.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

This plugin is built specifically for Civil 3D and relies on its core API (Alignments, Section Views, Profile Views).

It will not function in standard AutoCAD or other vertical products.

Clicking entirely outside the boundaries of a Section or Profile View grid may result in an "Invalid location" warning prompt.

Simply click inside the valid grid boundaries to continue the command.
