| Analysis for Master-Planning |
$99 |
|
|
| In this course you will learn how AutoCAD Civil 3D, the standard design tool for civil engineers, is being used by many planners to bridge the gap between planning and engineering. You will learn the basics of the civil design model and how to analyze the slopes of the existing ground surface, model the composite finished ground surface and calculate the resulting earthworks. |

|
 |
| Working with Lidar in Civil 3D |
$99 |
|
|
Because Lidar offers many advantages over traditional photogrammetric methods for collecting elevation data many civil engineers and designers are starting to use it for preliminary layouts, flood mapping, drainage area maps and calculations, planning layouts and for creating presentation displays. This course will cover the basics of incorporating Lidar data into your Civil 3D projects for surface modeling and include tips for more efficiently managing large lidar datasets. |

 |
| Data Short Cuts |
$99 |
|
|
| Because Civil 3D data is stored entirely within a Civil 3D drawing, you can use data shortcuts to reference object data from surfaces, alignments, pipe networks and view frame groups in multiple drawings. Additionally with data shortcuts, your team members can access object data to use one object for multiple design tasks. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of what data shortcuts are, how they work and how to use them. |

|
 |
| Surface Creation and Editing |
$99 |
|
|
In this course, you will learn how to build and edit a Civil 3D surface. Import points from a coordinate point file to create a new surface, and learn how to create point groups. We will also learn how to apply additional surface data such as TIN boundaries and breaklines. We will then learn how to edit our surface objects and finally how to add contour labels to our surface model. |
|
|
|
 |
| Pipes |
$99 |
|
|
| In our Pipes course, we will learn the knowledge and commands necessary to create a Pipe Network in Civil 3D, and draw your network in Profile View. We will look at exporting corridor line work, and applying pipe and structure rules to our design. This course also includes an overview of Part Builder, then moves on to creating pipe networks by Layout and drawing those networks in Profile View. Finally we will learn how to Label our network in Profile View, re-sample sections and edit the pipes within our created network. |

|
|
 |
| Parcels |
$99 |
|
|
| In this course we will cover the basics on how to get started creating Parcels. We will cover parcel creation using the Parcel Layout Tools, and also create dynamic tables containing Parcel information. |
|
|
|
 |
| Alignments and Profiles |
$99 |
|
|
| The basics of Road Design begin with Alignments and Profiles. In this course, we will cover horizontal alignment entities, using alignment creation tools and how to edit alignments. We then move on to an overview of profiles, including creating and editing Existing Ground and Finished Grade profiles. |
|
|
|
 |
| Subassemblies and Assemblies |
$99 |
|
|
| Assemblies are one of the key components for creating Corridor Models in Civil 3D. Assemblies are created to represent a roadway Typical Section, and are comprised of Subassembly components. In this class, we will take a look at the available subassembly components and learn how to create an Assembly by attaching subassembly pieces. |
|
|
|
 |
| Corridor Modeling, Cross Sections and Volumes |
$99 |
|
|
We will begin this class by learning to create a corridor model. We will see how Assemblies are applied to create cross section views, and learn to generate a corridor surface from our model. With our corridor complete, we will move on to an overview of Cross Sections. We will begin by creating sample line groups, then use those groups to generate cross section views and material volume calculations. |
|
|
|
 |
| Building Pad Design |
$99 |
|
|
| In this course, we will use Feature Lines and grading objects to design building pads. We will learn how to create feature lines from objects, and grade to a target surface. We will then create automatic surfaces from our grading objects that can be used for grading and surface volume calculations. |
|
|
|
 |
| Parking Lot Design |
$99 |
|
|
| In the parking lot design course, we will learn to create surface points and draw feature lines. We will also learn to use additional grading tools and edits to create a parking lot surface model. |
|
|
|
 |
| Pond Design |
$99 |
|
|
| In the Pond Design course, we will cover additional grading utilities and commands. You will learn to use grading tools to automatically grade to distances, surfaces and relative elevations. You will also learn to create infills, balance volumes and quick profiles. |
|
|
|
 |
| Lagoon Design |
$99 |
|
|
The lagoon design course will cover additional feature line options, including converting polylines to feature lines and creating aeration pond and lagoon feature lines for lagoon modeling. We will also move on to creating alignments and profile views to be used for outfall structures and piping. |
