Course overview

AutoCAD Civil 3D is a software useful to civil Engineers concerned with infrastructure design such as roads, Pipe networks, railway design, etc. Civil 3D can also be used to create survey networks. This is Part A of the Civil 3D Course which covers Points, Surfaces, Alignments, Profiles, Corridor Assemblies, Corridors, Intersection and Roundabout, and Section Views.

Part B of this course will be a separate course that will cover Grading, Parcels, Pipe Network Design, Survey Networks, and Plan Production.  

This course is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those already introduced to Civil 3D.

What will i learn?

  • Learn how work with Points in Civil 3D including importing large points and how to manage points.
  • Learn how to work with Surfaces and perform surface analysis such as volume of excavations, water path analysis etc
  • Learn how to work with horizontal alignment for road design and other designs
  • Learn how to work with profiles which dictate elevations of finished grade in relation to existing surface
  • Learn how to work with assemblies which are connected to form a corridor
  • Learn how to work with corridors which represent a 3D appearance of a road design
