How many times have you been sent updated versions of a PDF but the changes aren’t highlighted or bubbled? Ever needed to look at two different versions of the same file, with no idea where the difference might be? That’s bad with one sheet and it’s a nightmare when you have to do it across
Bluebeam Revu is the most popular software in the construction world, but it’s even better when you can customize it so that every markup, measurement, or anything else you create looks, responds, and even calculates the way you need for your specific work. Bluebeam’s Tool Sets feature allows you to create re-usable, intelligent, tools with
Ever spend hours calculating grades, drawing polylines, and hatching in areas of steep slopes and areas that need stabilization? Wouldn’t it be nice to just let AutoCAD Civil 3D handle all the work for you and just display the steep slope areas, in color, on your plans? With built-in AutoCAD Civil 3D slope display styles
Ever need to show fire hydrants, guard, rails, light poles, or any of a hundred other plan items in your profile views for reference? Tired of calculating stations, elevations, and manually drawing these objects in a profile only to find a few days later that the plan changed and the profile is now incorrect? Wouldn’t
Building areas, lot acreage, footing or sidewalk concrete volumes and a hundred other plan-based labels can be time consuming, and error prone, to calculate manually and label by hand. Why not let AutoCAD Civil 3D handle the calculations and extract the areas, etc., directly from your plan items dynamically? Wouldn’t it be nice to just
With BricsCAD v24 not only can you Import and Export GIS Data, but you can now create, edit, and manage that GIS data in a familiar CAD environment. ZenTek Consultants, in conjunction with Rick Ellis of Bricsys, invite you to join us to see the new tools added to BricsCAD that will allow you to
What if there’s a CAD system that uses the exact same DWG file format you use today, with exactly the same tools, in the same places you’re already familiar with - but it costs only 30% of what you pay today? What if it wasn’t only cheaper, and familiar, but had better functionality and intelligent
Bluebeam Revu is the most popular, and powerful, estimating and markup tool on the market today, and it’s ideal for customizing to industry specific needs. Right out-of-the box, Revu tools work wonders for anyone in the Structural Steel industry. Add in a little more knowledge, and you can make Bluebeam Revu the primary tool for
Sometimes it seems the Revit training world ignores electrical work. They focus on architecture and, if you’re lucky, MEP, but they somehow always seem to gloss right over the “E” in that word, throwing in a few quick minutes discussing what it can do, but never showing you how. This course is designed specifically for
Developing site design controls and surfaces in Civil 3D is a vital skill set, but it’s one that’s all too often left to a “learn as you go” process. Civil 3D provides designers with a powerful set of tools to generate fast, detailed, and reliable site conditions for both existing and proposed surfaces. This class
It’s one thing to build a basic, linear, corridor for a residential design, but it’s quite another thing to deal with advanced design conditions like cul-de-sac, intersections and roundabouts. It’s even an entirely different process when you are rehabilitating an existing roadway. Unfortunately, these advanced techniques are often missing from a designer’s tool kit. Knowing
Once you’ve put the time in to master AutoCAD Civil 3D pipe networks, the struggle becomes finding structures, fittings, pipes, and appurtenances that meet your project needs. The Autodesk part catalogs are large, but not always efficient and there are some noticeable oversights in what they provide out-of-the-box. Wouldn’t it be great if you could
