Close Civil 3D and all AutoCAD programs. Double click on the Install Hec batch file.
An install window will quickly appear and disappear. The application has been installed. There will be an Engineered Efficiency entry on the Toolbox.
3.
Open Civil 3D and bring up the Toolspace. Switch to the Toolbox tab of the Toolspace. If you do not have a Toolbox tab, select General>Toolbox and it will appear.
If you do not see an Engineered Efficiency entry, you may have had an AutoCAD program open when installing the application. Reread the RAS Install Guide and try again.

Overview
The EE HEC-RAS Tools can export Civil 3D surface data to HEC-RAS for use in flood analysis. 1. Complete your analysis in HEC- RAS. 2. Return to the main HEC-RAS window. Choose File> Export GIS Data. 3. In the GIS Export dialog, check Export Water Surfaces and choose any profiles you might have created during the analysis. Press Export data. An SDF file is created. 4. Open the original drawing in Civil 3D. Locate the Toolspace and switch to the Toolbox tab. 5. Expand the Engineered Efficiency entry on the Toolbox. Right Click on HEC-RAS Import and choose Execute. 6. In the EE RAS Import dialog, choose the correct Site, style and label for the alignment, and a style for the profile. 7. Press Browse for HEC-RAS File, then select the SDF file you created. 8. Press Import This File. Profiles will be imported under your stream centerline alignment. 9. To show flood elevations on the stream section profiles, create a simple corridor. First create an assembly using the LinkSlopeToSurface subassembly. 10. Build a simple corridor using the stream centerline alignment, the appropriate flood elevation profile and the LinkSlopeToSurface assembly. Be sure to set the target surface to be your existing ground. 11. Once the corridor is built, make a corridor surface. 12. Sample the corridor surface onto profile view by using the tools under Profile>Create Profile from Surface.
