CV318-4: Connecting the Dots: Creating AutoCAD Civil 3D Surfaces with LIDAR Data
Instructor: Matt Miyamoto
Class Description: Technological improvements continue to increase the availability of LIDAR data. However, we have not always had access to the tools necessary for taking advantage of these large data sets. With potentially millions of points, Civil 3D now provides us with a tool that we can use to take advantage of LIDAR data for our designs. In this class, we will discuss some of the issues associated with LIDAR data, and go over the tools available in Civil 3D that allow you to manage your data more efficiently and reduce drawing file size. We will see how Civil 3D allows us to connect the dots, creating surface models that we can use to develop layouts for master plans, flood boundaries for mapping and drainage analysis, and preliminary site design for permitting and earthwork estimations.
