Parking Lot Design I

Learn the fundamentals of site grading and parking lot design in Civil 3D and Vehicle Tracking with this hands-on course. You’ll explore surface creation and modification, analysis, and labeling, then move into grading design using feature lines and grading objects. By the end of the class, you’ll be able to develop a practical, dynamic grading plan for parking lots while mastering the Civil 3D and Vehicle Tracking tools that make the process efficient and precise.

This course is delivered in 2 two-hour sessions. A live instructor explains the detailed functions and addresses questions as the class progresses.

​Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk Civil 3D 2026 and Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2026. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version.

Prerequisite: Students should have a working knowledge of Autodesk Civil 3D.

Recording: Registrants for a course will receive access to a recording of each session for 7 consecutive days. Access will start the next business day after the session ends.
