In this AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 training course, expert author Seth Cohen teaches you the about the tools and techniques needed to work in this civil engineering design and documentation solution software. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no prior experience with Civil 3D is required.You will start by taking a tour of the interface, and then jump into learning how to work with points. Seth teaches you how to use the survey database, manage and edit surfaces, and create alignments. This video tutorial also covers corridor modeling, grading in Civil 3D, pipe networks, quantity takeoffs, creating sheets, and much more. Finally, you will learn about pressure pipe networks, and how to create a Civil 3D surface from point clouds.Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of working with this CAD software and be able to apply your knowledge to your own projects. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
