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
USACE, ERDC/ITL, even state DOT level projects make extensive use of Corridor and TIN Modeling to establish exact, geo-referenced, models of existing and proposed corridor designs. The processes most government engineers and contractors use can be slow, difficult, and error prone, particularly in the commonly used AutoCAD Civil 3D workspace. Corridors have a reputation of
Anyone working in the government design, approval, or review spaces knows the frustrations of dealing with multiple Advanced Modeling software systems. It doesn’t matter if you’re working civil, architectural, manufacturing, digital twins, or existing conditions development projects, the more systems you need to work in, the more likely you are to have points of failure.
Bluebeam Revu is used daily by over 80% of construction firms in the U.S., but, unfortunately, not a lot of us use it well or efficiently. Bluebeam is designed for the construction industry, but all too often the people it’s meant for don’t even understand what Bluebeam can do in the construction world. With Bluebeam
Whether you’re a Revit veteran, or just breaking into the Revit world, Families are a vital component of any workflow. The Family’s ability to pre-define groups of objects with adjustable parameters is the very heart of Revit. Generating a complete library of Families to address the work that your company focuses on, instead of using
We’ve all heard that Bluebeam Revu is the ideal solution to set up and control all your construction projects, but often times we don’t know how to begin that vital process. Wouldn’t it be nice to set up graphic dashboards where you can open a site plan and just click on a location to open
Understanding the wide array of grading creation and editing tools that are available in Civil 3D is one of the greatest struggles for designers and technicians. Taking those tools and applying them to an actual Residential Site Design is even more difficult. This class teaches students practical use of Civil 3D Grading functions by developing grading for
