AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Essentials is designed for
students, Civil Engineers and Surveyors who want to take advantage
of AutoCAD Civil 3D's interactive, dynamic design
functionality. AutoCAD Civil 3D permits the rapid development
of alternatives through its model-based design tools. You will
learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with
points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, create
parcel layouts, perform grading and volume calculations tasks, and
lay out pipe networks.
In this textbook you follow a Civil Engineering project through
the design process as closely as possible. The project work
focuses on points, terrain modeling, light road design, parcel
layout, grading, and utility layout for a subdivision project.
This project type was selected because it encompasses many of the
different tasks AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 can accomplish. All the
lessons in this book are tutorial in style.
This textbook focuses on teaching students the core tasks and
workflows that are needed to successfully operate AutoCAD Civil 3D.
This text is intended for all users of AutoCAD Civil
3D.
Upon completion of this textbook, students will be able to:
- Import data through AutoCAD LandXML and from an Autodesk Land Desktop Project.
- Create and manage Points and Point Groups
- Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces
- Create parcels and parcel tables
- Create sites, create and edit alignments, and create profiles and cross-sections
- Create assemblies, corridors, and cross-sections, and calculate corridor volumes
- Create complex grading solutions
- Create pipe networks
