The Complete AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 - 2021 Essentials Course

About the Instructor

I am a professional Engineer with degree in Transportation Engineering. Working in a multinational Consultancy Firm as a Senior Highway Design Engineer. I have been a part of many Mega projects of National and International Importance.

As a Highway Design Engineer, AutoCAD Civil 3D is my primary design tool. I have excellently developed my skills on AutoCAD Civil 3D over a period of many years, working on several Highway Design projects.

Key Features of This Course

• One of the most comprehensive AutoCAD Civil 3D course online with around 90 video lectures.

• Around 8.5 hours of video lectures for your extensive learning.

• All lesson files included for download.

• Taught by a Professional Engineer having extensive hands-on experience of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

• Course is based on a real life example Residential Land Development Project.

Project-oriented Course

The course lessons are project-oriented and all of the tools and commands are taught with their real-world applications. As you work your way through this course, you are going to take a journey through the completion of a residential land development project from start to finish. The topics are presented as though you have never touched a CAD program before. Whatever you learn and practice in this course will be relevant to the real life practices.

Which version of AutoCAD Civil 3D is used?

I have used AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 for recording this course but it is equally good for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 and later versions. But it is recommended that you have at least installed AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 on your computer as the practice files are compatible with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 and higher versions.

What Topics are Covered in This Course?

This course is organized to provide you with the knowledge needed to master the essentials of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This course is divided into eighteen (18) chapters/sections as described below:

• Section 1: Navigating the User Interface Familiarizes you with the AutoCAD Civil 3D environment so that you can navigate more easily in the software.

• Section 2: Leveraging a Dynamic Environment Demonstrates the dynamic AutoCAD Civil 3D environment to establish its importance and encourage you to take full advantage of it whenever possible. This chapter focuses on important relationships between different components of a typical design model.

• Section 3: Establishing Existing Conditions Using Survey Data Demonstrates how to convert survey field measurements into a AutoCAD Civil 3D drawing while focusing on the survey functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This chapter covers creating a survey database, importing data, and processing the data to create a map of the project.

• Section 4: Modeling the Existing Terrain Using Surfaces Demonstrates how to create a model of the existing terrain of the project while focusing on the surface functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This chapter covers creating a new surface and adding data to it to form a 3D model of the before-construction condition of the project.

• Section 5: Designing in 2D Using Alignments Demonstrates how to perform basic 2D layout while focusing on the alignment functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This chapter covers creating alignments, applying design criteria, and editing alignments.

• Section 6: Displaying and Annotating Alignments Demonstrates how to control the appearance of alignments and provide annotation while focusing on AutoCAD Civil 3D alignment styles and alignment labels. This chapter covers applying alignment styles, creating alignment labels, and creating alignment tables.

• Section 7: Designing Vertically Using Profiles Demonstrates how to design the vertical aspect of a linear feature while focusing on the profile functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating profiles, applying design criteria, editing profiles, and displaying profiles in profile views.

• Section 8: Displaying and Annotating Profiles Demonstrates how to control the appearance of profiles and provide annotation while focusing on AutoCAD Civil 3D profile styles and profile labels. This Section covers applying profile styles, creating profile labels, and object projection.

• Section 9: Designing in 3D Using Corridors Demonstrates how to design a 3D model of a linear feature while focusing on the corridor functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating assemblies, creating and editing corridors, and creating corridor surfaces.

• Section 10: Creating Cross Sections of the Design Demonstrates how to generate and display cross sections of your design while focusing on the sample line and section functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating sample lines, sampling various sources, and creating section views.

• Section 11: Displaying and Annotating Sections Demonstrates how to control the appearance of sections and provide annotation while focusing on AutoCAD Civil 3D section styles and section labels. This Section covers applying section styles, creating section labels, and object projection.

• Section 12: Designing and Analyzing Boundaries Using Parcels Demonstrates how to design a lot layout for a residential land development project while focusing on the parcel functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating and editing parcels.

• Section 13: Displaying and Annotating Parcels Demonstrates how to control the appearance of parcels and provide annotation while focusing on AutoCAD Civil 3D parcel styles and parcel labels. This Section covers applying parcel styles, creating parcel labels, and creating parcel tables.

• Section 14: Designing Gravity Pipe Networks Demonstrates how to design underground gravity pipe systems for a residential land development project while focusing on the pipe network functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating and editing pipe networks.

• Section 15: Designing Pressure Pipe Networks Demonstrates how to design underground pressure pipe systems for a residential land development project while focusing on the pressure pipe network functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating and editing pressure pipe networks.

• Section 16: Displaying and Annotating Pipe Networks Demonstrates how to control the appearance of pipe networks (both gravity and pressure) and provide annotation while focusing on AutoCAD Civil 3D pipe styles, structure styles, fitting styles, appurtenance styles, and pipe network labels. This Section covers displaying pipe networks in profile view, creating pipe network labels, and creating pipe network tables.

• Section 17: Designing New Terrain Demonstrates how to design a proposed ground model for a residential land development project while focusing on the feature-line and grading functions of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This Section covers creating and editing feature lines and grading objects.

• Section 18: Analyzing, Displaying, and Annotating Surfaces Demonstrates how to perform surface analysis and display the results as well as annotate design surfaces. This Section covers managing multiple surfaces, labeling surfaces, and analyzing surfaces.
