Civil 3D 2024: Beyond the Basics for General Civil Design

This course is intended for civil engineering technologists who want to continue exploring Civil 3D's interactive, dynamic design functionality. It will explore the software's configuration, Civil 3D's styles and settings, alternative ways to create surfaces, and parcel creation. It will also go beyond the basics for more advanced corridor and pipe network design. Finally, it will cover customizing sheet set properties, performing quantity takeoffs, and visualization.

Topics Covered:

• Create a Civil 3D template drawing.
• Create and manage styles and label styles.
• Create data shortcuts.
• Create and edit parcels and print parcel reports.
• Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces.
• Create assemblies, corridors, and roundabouts.
• Add appurtenances to pressure pipe networks.
• Customize sheet set properties.
• Perform quantity takeoff and volume calculations.

This training is an Instructor-led, online class with an explanation of concepts, hands-on exercises, and question-and-answer sessions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

Training participants will need a computer installed with a 2024 Civil 3D license. (Virtual Machine with a 2024 Civil 3D license is available for $ 60.00)
