Title: Dig Yourself Out of a Hole! Earthwork in AutoCAD® Civil 3D®
Instructors: Kevin Sanders with David Vaughan and joseph f. Gaffney
Course Description: Learn how to prepare surfaces to account for real-life engineering scenarios. In the real world of civil engineering, you do not compare just two surfaces. This class will show how to strip surfaces of materials just like the construction company would do in the field. This class will also show material removal and redistribution as well as material accounting for pavement section, building pads, etc. Attendees will also leave the class with the knowledge of how to prepare their data for easy checking and analysis for all individuals even if they do not have an engineering background. They will have an understanding of how AutoCAD Civil 3D can accomplish tasks that only high-priced standalone programs could do in the past and they will learn how to manipulate surfaces for accurate earthwork numbers, copying and pasting surfaces, and making composite surfaces. Using these practices, the attendees can generate accurate earthwork numbers for a variety of site development projects.
