AutoCAD Civil 3D

Getting comfortable with the Civil 3D workspace, Prospector & Toolspace, and the object-based workflow used in every module.

Setting up a project with correct templates, object styles and label styles for consistent, standards-compliant output.

Creating, editing and organizing survey points into point groups for use across the project.

Bringing in field survey data and point cloud references, and preparing them for surface modelling.

Building a TIN surface from points and breaklines, and editing it to accurately represent existing ground.

Generating contours and running slope and elevation-banding analysis to read and present terrain data.

Refining a surface with breaklines, boundaries and non-destructive edits to fix modelling errors.

Creating and editing parcels for land subdivision and basic site layout within a project.

Drawing and editing horizontal alignments with design criteria checks for curves and tangents.

Creating existing-ground and design profiles, and setting up profile views for a roadway.

Building roadway assemblies from subassemblies — lanes, shoulders, curbs and daylighting.

Combining an alignment, profile and assembly to build a working roadway corridor model.

Refining corridor behaviour with targets, region breaks and sampling frequency for accurate results.

Generating a corridor surface and cross-sections to review and quantify the design.

Using the Intersection wizard and basic roundabout tools to model junction geometry.

Reviewing a corridor for design errors and making edits before moving to grading and plan production.

Using feature lines and grading objects to shape ground around structures and site features.

Designing site and building pad grading with slopes, daylighting and drainage in mind.

Comparing surfaces to calculate cut/fill volumes and generate earthwork quantity reports.

Laying out storm and sanitary pipe networks with structures, and checking basic rule-based design.
