Conceptual Design for Civil Projects

Course | Outcomes and capabilities
Get the broad outlines of function and form of the design faster by using more tools found in the AEC Collection. In this module, you learn how various tools can help you articulate your design ideas faster while saving you time later by reducing rework.
Outline

Get the broad outlines of function and form of the design faster by using more tools found in the AEC Collection. In this module, you learn how various tools can help you articulate your design ideas faster while saving you time later by reducing rework. In this course, you learn how to do preliminary site grading and road design in InfraWorks, Civil 3D and SSA. You also learn how to layout parking lots with Vihicle Tracking

Course modules

~30 min.
Preliminary Site Grading in InfraWorks
Module

Modeling the conceptual design in InfraWorks helps you work more efficiently with the Autodesk ecosystem. Learn how to quickly grade the site in InfraWorks using Land Areas. Then, take the proposed ground into Civil 3D for detailed design.

~30 min.
Be More Efficient with BIM by Designing Roads in InfraWorks
Module

Modeling the conceptual design in InfraWorks helps you work more efficiently with the Autodesk ecosystem. Learn how to quickly layout design roads in InfraWorks. Then, take the proposed roads into Civil 3D for detailed design.

~25 min.
Be More Efficient with BIM with These Civil 3D Corridor Modeling Tips and Tricks
Module

Alignments, profiles and assemblies are not all you need to know to be efficient in designing roads. Learn tips and tricks for designing better roads faster in Civil 3D.

~30 min.
Storm Drain Design in Civil 3D and SSA
Module

Storm systems are an integral part of ensuring proper drainage on site. Learn how to be more efficient when designing and sizing storm systems using Civil 3D and SSA.

~30 min.
Be More Efficient When Grading Parking Lots in Civil 3D
Module

Parking lot designs can be done in a few different ways. Learn tips and tricks for creating a parking lot with grading objects and/or corridor modeling techniques.

~20 min.
Be More Efficient When Laying Out Parking Lots with Vehicle Tracking
Module

Lay out parking lots in minutes instead of hours by taking advantage of the Vehicle Tracking tools found in the AEC Collection. Learn how to quickly place rows, custom bays, and access roads.

~20 min.
Using GIS Data and the Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS
Module

The focus of this module is GIS data. Many projects begin and end with the utilization of GIS data. In this module, we will explore the many options of using, editing and analyzing GIS data within Autodesk Civil 3D. Join us as we explore the new Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS, the planning and analysis tools that Civil 3D has to offer and then export Civil and AutoCAD data out to a GIS format.

~20 min.
Labeling and styling tools for GIS data
Module

The focus of this module is the many methods of stylizing and labeling GIS data within Civil 3D.  We will work directly with the GIS connected data and extract valuable information for our project designs. Creating themed data, label based on GIS attributes.

~15 min.
Layout the conceptual road alignment and bridge in InfraWorks
Module

Component roads provide several advantages. One is the mathematical foundations that ensure you do not lay out a road or bridge that is mathematically impossible to create. Second is that the horizontal and vertical design of the roads are automatically converted to alignments and profiles when the InfraWorks model is opened in Civil 3D. In this module, you lay out the conceptual road alignment and bridge location using InfraWorks Component Roads.
