Event Description

This course will focus on the effective use of the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2024 version’s functionality that is specific to the methodologies and techniques for the successful design of grading plans for site plans and subdivision developments. Participants will learn a variety of grading tools as well as techniques for working with grading groups, criteria sets, and feature lines.  By exploring the various grading-specific design tasks, participants will become comfortable with the workflow in Civil 3D that is required to create and display design surfaces and calculate volumes. With the completion of this course, participants will receive a thorough understanding of the processes and procedures available in Civil 3D to complete a variety of grading projects.

Subject Content Covered:

  • Grading Concepts
  • Grading with Feature Lines
  • Grading using Grading Objects
  • Grading Using Corridors
  • Surface Creation Techniques
  • Surface Editing and Analysis

Additional Information
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: 
  1. Computer or laptop
    • This course will involve on-screen interaction with your instructor and classmates, reading/viewing on-screen content (slides or videos), and interacting via typing with questions or responses. For this reason, cell-phones may not be adequate.
    • Windows 10 or Mac iOS
  2. Webcam – in order to engage and collaborate, participants will be expected to have their webcams on for the duration of the class
  3. Microphone
  4. Internet connection - For best results, you will want to ensure you have an internet connection with an upload/download speed of 3-5 Mbps. You can test your internet speed here. Minimum recommended speed is 1.5 Mbps, but anything below 3 Mbps may result in loss of quality or buffering. Ideally hardwired connection versus wireless for stability - connect your computer directly to your router using an ethernet cable, rather than using your home wi-fi.
  5. A quiet space with minimal distractions - microphone will be engaged for interactive sessions. Please plan to be fully engaged in the class and clear your work schedule just as you would for the in-class program.
