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
So, you have Bluebeam Revu, and you know it can do some amazing things to help you with your job, but you’re just not sure how to actually use it. Bluebeam Revu is one of the most powerful tools in the AEC world, providing markup, take-off, estimating, design review, punch list, and collaboration tools all
Have you ever wondered how the hydrology tools that are built into Civil 3D work and what the differences are? Would you like to get the most out of your gravity pipe networks by integrating them into the design process? AutoCAD Civil 3D has three hydrology applications that work with pipe networks and other Civil
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
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
Have you ever noticed that the objective of most introductory AutoCAD Civil 3D classes is to educate on all areas of the software and not on the specific tools you need? If you work in a public works organization and want to learn AutoCAD Civil 3D, then this is the class for you. ZenTek Consultants
If you design Corridors in AutoCAD Civil 3D, you know that the built-in assemblies and subassemblies leave a lot to be desired. They always seem to be either missing elements you need, or far too complex for real world use. What you need is to quickly and easily develop your own subassemblies that meet your
So, you have Bluebeam, and you’ve figured out how to use it as a basic PDF reader, but you know it can do more: you’re just not sure where to start. This Bluebeam training course is ideal for novice Bluebeam users looking for increased functionality in one of the most powerful tools in the AEC
Bluebeam Revu is one of the most powerful and versatile QTO systems on the market. It can easily handle all your takeoff needs, but you need to have a solid understanding of Bluebeam and its QTO tools to make it effective. This course focuses on giving you the fundamentals of Bluebeam QTO features for day-to-day
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
Microsoft Project Professional is the industry-leading Project Management tool, and understanding how to use it is vital to every professional. This course covers all the tools a Project beginner needs, from developing project schedules, assigning resources, and editing timelines, all the way through sharing and outputting the Project for real-world use/update. The course addresses concepts
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
Are you still using out-of-date software like HEC-RAS, StormCAD, or Hydraflow to try to integrate your hydrology designs with Civil 3D? Are you wasting countless hours manually marking up hard copies of files to get your storm and wastewater design information into construction documents? Stop carrying multiple software licenses and losing hundreds of man-hours on
It’s one thing to build a simple, linear corridor in Civil 3D, but it’s quite another to deal with the complex infrastructure many of us are faced with daily. Intersections, elbows, cul-de-sacs, and hammerhead type road designs have the reputation of being so difficult to handle with Civil 3D Corridors that many of us never
