Civil 3D Land Digital Models

Digital Terrain Modeling and Alignment

AutoCAD Civil 3D software is a solution for civil engineering design and documentation. Civil 3D is built for civil engineers, drafters, designers, and technicians working on transportation, land development, and water projects, within a familiar AutoCAD software environment.

General Objectives:
This course instructs the student on digital surface modeling and analysis. Students will also learn to create grading and get an introduction to corridor design.

Specific Objectives:
A project is built during the course. The data from surveyor are introduced by which various methods, to being a digital terrain model. The student will learn to modify the terrain to get 3D contours, label contours and cross-sections. The design will be utilized to create a Surface for visualizing and for volume calculations and reports. They will also gain basic skills for corridor design.
