Course content

1 section • 14 lectures • 50m total length

  • Introduction & Exercise Files1:16

    Optimize your Civil 3D profile skills through an introduction and exercise files, embracing repetition and patient practice to gain proficiency and confidence.

  • Designing Simple Profiles4:22

    Design a simple profile for the road centerline using an existing grade surface, the profile view wizard, and the profile creation tools to draw tangents with curves.

  • Creating and Displaying Surface Profiles with Offsets5:43

    Create and display surface profiles from offset alignments in Civil 3D by sampling 25 ft left and right of the road centerline, and view dynamic versus static updates.

  • Changing the Profile Style4:30

    Learn to change the style of surface profiles in Civil 3D using the profile view wizard and global style changes, with overrides for individual profiles.

  • Reviewing Surface Profile Characteristics2:42

    Learn to edit surface profile characteristics in Civil 3D by disconnecting from the existing grade surface, switching between dynamic and static modes, and using the profile layout tools.

  • Creating a Layout Profile5:51

    Create a layout profile in Civil 3D to lay out the grade along the road center line, using profile creation tools, parabolic curves, and station and type labels.

  • Editing a Layout Profile5:31

    Edit a layout profile by adjusting pvi and grades with the profile layout tools and panorama palette, and refine the design using the profile layout parameters dialog box and grips.

  • Copying a Layout Profile and Offsetting It Vertically4:29

    Copy a layout profile in Civil 3D within a 300–1700 station range, then offset it vertically by -5 feet and display only the copied profile in the chosen profile view.

  • Specifying Profile Design Criteria3:48

    Configure profile design criteria in Civil 3D by applying imperial AASHTO 2018 standards and setting crest and sag curve requirements with minimum lengths of 30 and 60 ft.

  • Drawing a Profile That Refers to Design Criteria3:01

    Learn to create a road profile in Civil 3D that refers to design criteria, using tangents with curves, and edit the profile geometry to meet crest and sag checks.

  • How to Turn the Design Violation Notification Symbol On or Off1:19

    Learn to toggle design violation notifications in Civil 3D by using op to open the AEC editor and check or uncheck the drafting option.

  • Adding a Free Curve Profile That Exceeds the Design Standards4:36

    Learn to add a free vertical curve in a Civil 3D profile that exceeds design standards by editing profile geometry, adjusting PVIs, and applying a 500 m radius parabola.

  • Drawing a Profile that Refers to Design Criteria1:43

    Lay out a curve in the proposed layout profile that meets design criteria by editing profile geometry and adding a free vertical parabola with a minimum radius of 9600m.

  • Conclusion & Next Steps1:41

    Congratulations on completing the Civil 3D profile essentials course. Practice with the exercise files to gain proficiency, and subscribe to the Civil 3D TV YouTube channel for free videos.

  • A basic knowledge of AutoCAD commands

Description

With the help of these lessons, you may begin to visualize and create the elevation profile of land surfaces along a horizontal alignment.

In a profile, surface elevations are mostly displayed along a horizontal alignment.

Use profiles to see the landscape over a certain area or along a route of interest. Surface profiles, layout profiles, overlaid profiles, fast profiles, and corridor profiles are a few of the several sorts of profiles.

Crest curves and sag curves are the two types of curves used in layout profiles. Hilltops or other locations where the slope drops in value are where crest curves are put. Positive to positive grade transitions, positive to positive, and negative to negative are the three different forms of crest curves.

Sag curves are positioned in valleys or other areas where the gradient increases. A negative to positive grade transition, a negative to negative, and a positive to positive are three examples of sag curves.

You choose whether a surface profile is dynamic or static when you construct it. If the surface elevation varies, a dynamic profile automatically adjusts. If you adjust the surface or move the horizontal alignment, such changes may take place. A static profile does not adapt to changes in the surface and reflects the terrain as it was when it was first constructed.
