Commercial Site Design with Civil 3D®
Taught by a practicing civil engineer, this lesson series takes you chronologically through a real project starting with importing the field data through creating the final sheets for construction plans. Along the way we'll cover creation of the existing surface and planimetrics; then creation of the proposed site, with building, curbs, and utilities; followed by the creation of the proposed surface, pipes and profiles. The series also includes using appropriate layers and layer states.
As an added bonus, all of the drawings, field files and templates used in this series are included!
