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
Bluebeam Revu is one of the most powerful and versatile QTO systems on the market.

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
"Field to Finish" – we've all heard this phrase with regard to the AutoCAD Civil 3D Survey process, but what does it really mean and how do you make it work? The concept is simple – take the data collected points from your field crews and let AutoCAD Civil 3D handle the drafting for you
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
Microsoft Project Professional is the industry-leading Project Management tool, and understanding how to use it is vital to every professional.

Redlines, Markups, As-Builts, Submittals, field notes – whatever it is you work with, that data needs to make its way into the final CAD design one way or another. Most of us struggle, using scans, printed paper, or just hoping the CAD folks look at our PDF markups. Wouldn’t it be nice to take 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
Are you still using out-of-date software like HEC-RAS, StormCAD, or Hydraflow to try to integrate your hydrology designs with Civil 3D?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 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
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
Few tasks in AutoCAD Civil 3D inspire as much confusion, or frustration, as trying to develop a pressure pipe network. While Pressure Pipes have been around for years, they have a reputation of being difficult to work with and many firms have completely avoided them, opting instead to "fake it" with gravity pipes, or just
