Course Description

Get a solid footing in Autodesk Civil 3D with this foundational course. Across 10 ordered sections, you'll master the fundamental tools you need to create and run civil engineering projects from start to finish — from site work with survey points to the design of surfaces and horizontal alignment.
Who This Course is For:
Civil engineers, CAD technicians, surveyors, urban planners, and students who wish to specialize in key tools and workflows for road and surface design with Civil 3D. #AulaGEO

Course Content Overview:

Section 1. Introduction to Civil3D

This chapter gives an overview of the interface of Civil 3D with 3 lessons devoted to toolbars, settings, and configuration. It sets the basis for navigating and using Civil 3D successfully.

Section 2. Points and Coordinates

In 5 lessons, you will be able to create, style, and manage points and coordinates in Civil 3D. The section also includes importing points and using tools to improve point management.

Section 3. Terrain Surfaces

This 7-lesson section addresses making, styling, and editing terrain surfaces. You will also be taught how to insert raster images, customize surface styles, and use advanced surface editing tools.

Section 4. Horizontal Alignments

Within 7 lessons, you will create and control horizontal alignments, i.e., creating alignments, labeling, curve and spiral management, and surface profiles with offsets.

Section 5. Vertical Alignments

This section consists of 7 lessons dedicated to designing and establishing surface profiles, inserting them into views, labeling, editing vertical layouts, and presenting profiles effectively.

Section 6. Surface Editing

In 4 lessons, you will learn advanced surface editing skills, such as ground surface editing, with other tools, and surface analysis for proper project execution.

Section 7. Sub-Assemblies and Assemblies

This 5-lesson section will demonstrate to you how to construct and manage assemblies and sub-assemblies for linear jobs, ranging from straightforward building to assembling and installing assemblies.

Section 8. Linear Works, Surfaces, and Materials

Through 4 lessons, this course includes the development involving linear work pieces, building sub-assemblies, and engaging in linear work environments for the sake of surface integration within processes.

Section 9. Cross Sections and Earthworks

Within this 6-lesson part, the emphasis is placed on making and analyzing cross-sections, handling sampling lines, computing earthwork quantities, and including linear works in cross-section displays.

Section 10. Advanced Horizontal Alignments

This module, with 9 lessons, deals with optimizing alignments, design rules application, super elevation management, and alignment labeling, including both manual and automatic methods of widening.

Why This Course Excels:
This is one of the highest-rated Civil 3D courses, feted for its practical nature and pragmatic exercises. The course is presented in full English, creating clarity and ease of use for a global market. Each lesson includes a separate folder of files so that students can practice in conjunction with the instruction, reinforcing the learn by doing philosophy. Become one of the many professionals to revitalize their career through this extensive training.

Goals

  • Operating the Civil 3D environment and setting up project preferences.
  • Importing and working with survey points and coordinate data.
  • Working with terrain surfaces and advanced commands.
  • Designing horizontal alignments and adding surface profiles.
  • Working with vertical profiles and layout view management.
  • Creating basic assemblies and subassemblies for linear projects.
  • Setting up linear works with materials and surface interaction.
  • Creating and analyzing cross-sections and earthworks.
  • Working with advanced horizontal alignment concepts like superelevation and widening.
  • Designing and modifying terrain surfaces using sophisticated tools and earthworks. 

Prerequisites

  • A basic understanding of engineering and construction concepts is preferable, but this course also serves as a learning opportunity for those new to these topics.
  • To complete the exercises, you will need access to an educational, commercial, or trial version of Civil 3D.
