<\/a>In Civil 3D, from the Home tab in the ribbon, \u2018Create Profile from File\u2018 <\/li>\n
\n
<\/a>This creates a profile in your profile view, but the type is set to an imported file (which does not allow editing in I360). We need this to be set to a layout profile before importing to InfraWorks 360 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
<\/a>In the Prospector, select the alignment and profile, right-click and select \u2018Export LandXML\u2026\u2019 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
<\/a>Write the profile out to a LandXML file, and re-import into a new or existing drawing <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a>On the \u2018Insert\u2019 tab on the ribbon, select \u2018LandXML\u2019 and select the LandXML file created previously. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
