Civil 3D is the world’s leading software for Residential Site Design projects, but all too often users struggle with the complexity and sheer number of different tools it offers to complete these designs. This one-of-a-kind course focuses not just on the Civil 3D tools, but on the full design and development process involved with a Preliminary Site project. The instructor will take students through best practices for developing access roads, parcels, site grading, and development of detailed surfaces by having them develop an example Preliminary Site from start to finish throughout all sessions.
This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.
Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2024. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version.
Prerequisite: Students should have a working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D.
