Civil 3D Professional Fast-Track Program

We start at the very beginning, using AutoCAD to draw drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, and then create a floor plan. We assemble everything into one sheet file. Learn about Drawing on Layers, Adding Text, Dimensions & Plotting.

• Create drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, a floor plan and integrate all information into one deliverable sheet file.
• Distinguish the differences required to generate drawings for use as annotation and real-world model components.
• Create and insert blocks and externally reference files and determine the appropriate times to apply those skill sets.
• Master file management, drafting on layers, integrating drawing component files and plotting while creating on the class residential project.

Use AutoCAD to draw an abbreviated set of construction documents for a residential project: floor plan, roof plan, foundation plan, electrical plan & building elevations. Create, insert and link drawings. Learn the best workflow.

• Create an abbreviated set of construction documents including floor plan, foundation plan, electrical plan and building elevations for a small residential project.
• Create and insert blocks, externally reference files and determine the appropriate times to apply those skill sets to optimize project efficiency.
• Demonstrate layer and file management, external file referencing, use of model/layout environments and user coordinate systems.
• Apply intermediate-level skills including layer management, user coordinate system development, creating sheet layout environments and plotting.

In this course you will become familiar with survey and COGO points, point marker and label styles, point groups, linework code sets, figure prefix databases, survey imports, parcels, sites, parcel labels, TIN surfaces, surface labels, and surface analysis.

• Create, label, and modify points, then organize points into point groups
• Prepare Civil 3D description key sets, linework code sets, and figure prefix databases
• Perform a survey import, create, and subdivide parcels
• Modify parcel display styles and label parcels areas and segments
• Create parcel tables and a TIN surface
• Label a surface and edit surface definitions
• Perform a surface analysis

In this course you will become familiar with alignments, surface profiles, design profiles and view windows, assemblies, corridors, intersections, sample lines, cross sections, and 3D visualization.

• Create multiple types of alignments
• Develop surface and design profiles
• Adjust profile view windows
• Label both alignments and profiles
• Build corridors with the required sub-elements and create a cul-de-sac
• Create an intersection corridor and create sample lines along a corridor
• Display cross sections
• Visualize a roadway in a 3-dimensional drive through

In this course you will build drawing template files, utilize data shortcuts, work with feature lines, learn about site interactions, create grading groups, lay out pipe networks, and draft pressure networks.

• Create multiple Civil 3D object and label styles
• Develop a custom drawing template file
• Manage data shortcuts
• Create and edit feature lines and grading groups
• Learn about pipe and pressure parts catalogs
• Layout pipe and pressure networks
• Annotate pipe and pressure networks
• Create a custom drawing sheet
