Autodesk Civil 3D 2024: Fundamentals for General Civil Design - 2 Book Set

Autodesk Civil 3D 2024: Fundamentals for General Civil Design is comprised of two learning guides - Autodesk Civil 3D 2024: Essentials and Autodesk Civil 3D 2024: Beyond the Basics for General Civil Design. This 2-book set is a cost-effective option for civil engineering professionals looking to learn fundamental Civil 3D skills.

In Autodesk Civil 3D 2024: Essentials, you will learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, perform grading and volume calculation tasks, and lay out pipe networks. The topics include:

• Learn the Autodesk Civil 3D user interface.
• Create points and point groups and work with survey figures.
• Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces.
• Create and edit alignments.
• Create sites, profiles, and cross-sections.
• Create assemblies, corridors, and intersections.
• Create grading solutions.
• Create gravity-fed and pressure pipe networks.
• Use plan production tools to create plan and profile sheets.

The Autodesk Civil 3D 2024: Beyond the Basics for General Civil Design covers software configuration, Civil 3D's styles and settings, alternative ways to create surfaces, and creating parcels. It also goes beyond the basics for more advanced corridor and pipe network design. Finally, it covers customizing sheet set properties, performing quantity takeoffs, and visualization. The topics include:

• Create a Civil 3D template drawing.
• Create and manage styles and label styles.
• Create data shortcuts.
• Create and edit parcels and print parcel reports.
• Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces.
• Create assemblies, corridors, and roundabouts.
• Add appurtenances to pressure pipe networks.
• Customize sheet set properties.
• Perform quantity takeoff and volume calculations.

* For professionals looking to learn only the survey functionality, consider the Civil 3D Essentials for Surveyors guide.
