Classes by Industry Exploring the New Capabilities of Feature Lines in AutoCAD® Civil 3D® CV314-2L 04-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm How much time is lost on your projects when you think you have reached your final grading plan, only to learn that an elevation needs to be changed, or a portion of your design needs to be reworked? This common, real world problem is one that all designers have faced at one point or another. In this session, you’ll learn techniques on how best to manage and leverage feature lines and grading groups on various types of designs, including parking lots, building pads, detention ponds, roadway designs, and open space grading. You’ll discover the speed in which iterations and alternatives can be made, allowing you to produce the right design, not just your first design. 90-Minute Lab Introductory Lando 4201 Don Quinn, Technical Consultant | Eagle Point Software Grading Methods: Which Works Best for Me? CV314-4 04-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm ® ® AutoCAD Civil 3D is an extremely powerful grading tool— some might say too powerful. There are so many different options, methods, and procedures that one could use, that it’s hard to know what to use. This course will show you three common methods of grading in AutoCAD Civil 3D, and when the different methods will be right for the job at hand. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Marcello 4506 Mike Parsons, Application Engineer | CADD Centers of Florida Bringing Sexy Back to Civil CV214-5 03-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm This lecture is for AutoCAD® Civil 3D® users who want to take their skills to the next level. This presentation will cover how to leverage your Civil 3D dynamic civil model to create renderings that will help you win business. The presentation will also cover the workflow needed for civil visualization and its best practices. Changes in design intent are common throughout the design process. This class will address how to deal with the ever-changing design intent of the project. If your clients are bored to death from too many PowerPoint® presentations, this class is for you. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Delfino 4103 Larry Young, ATC Instructor/SAE | Central Visual Informations Systems Caffeinated Grading CV314-1P 04-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Grab a venti mocha or a Red Bull®—you’re going to need it to keep up! This high-octane class is led by David Garrigues (Mr. Caffeine) of Kimley-Horn, as well as Glen Albert (Mr. Feature Line) and Chris Putnam (Mr. Grading), the lead programmers from Autodesk on all things grading. This year, we’re moving from the lecture-only hall into the lab to brew up some fantastic methods that could provide a big jolt to how you think about grading. Some of the techniques we’ll use will be radically different from what you’ll see in other presentations. With lab exercises and lecture, we will walk you through multiple design scenarios to help you tackle some of the more complicated and misunderstood grading problems you’ll encounter. High energy and real-world examples have made this one of the top-ranked classes three years running. WARNING: This class is fast-paced and not for the timid. 90-Minute Class Power User Palazzo O-P David Garrigues, Firm Wide CADD Coordinator | KimleyHorn and Associates Optimizing Pipe Designs Using AutoCAD® Civil 3D® CV404-3L 05-Dec-08 10:00 am - 11:30 am This course will walk you through setting up an alignment and pipe network. Then you will edit the alignment and pipe network and learn some quick ways to check the data for errors. This course will also discuss how to use the 3D design environment to optimize complicated pipe networks and how to QC the design utilizing the dynamic capabilities of the software. Upon completion of the course, you will know and understand how the pipe networks alignments and profiles can be used to improve and accelerate pipeline design. 90-Minute Lab Intermediate Lando 4303 Brian Christ, Porject Manager | G.C.Wallace Inc. Multi-User AutoCAD® Civil 3D® without Vault CV314-5 04-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm If you need to have two or three people work on the same Civil 3D model file simultaneously, but don’t want to install Vault, then this class is for you. Discover the options you have, then see it put to use in a modular approach to set up a project. Since people won’t have to wait for their turn to work on the file, and specialists can work in specific areas, you will improve productivity and the speed of design. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Delfino 4102 Paul Wilhelm, Civil Project Manager | ABKJ AutoCAD® Map 3D for Civil Engineers and Surveyors CV318-4 04-Dec-08 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm If you are one of those users who ignores the Map pulldown or closes the Map Explorer as soon as it appears on your screen, this class is for you. AutoCAD Map 3D, which is included in Civil 3D® and Land Desktop, features many powerful tools that allow engineers and surveyors to be more productive in their day-to-day work. You will learn how to work with other file formats, like ArcView® ShapeFiles, without losing their intelligence; to manage large data sets and convert coordinate systems of existing drawings; to automate annotation of large sets of objects by leveraging attached data; and to build a surface in Civil 3D by extracting the elevation data from GIS contours.
