This video is one in a series of videos included in the Geotechnical Modeler Fundamentals course. In this video you will learn what file formats can be imported with the Geotechnical Modeler and how to import borehole data into a Civil 3D drawing file. Autodesk supports three primary file types, ASG4.0 (and newer), CSV, and gINT CSV file types. The CSV file format is a flexible file format that can be created from other data sources using Microsoft Excel or a simple editor like Notepad. Using field mapping, required borehole data can be populated from traditional and/or custom CSV files. The data gets imported into your system’s local Geotechnical Modeler database and added as points into your Civil 3D drawing. The borehole data is represented as Civil 3D points in the drawing, but the borehole data resides in the local database.
This video is one in a series of videos included in the Geotechnical Modeler Fundamentals course. In this video you will learn how to filter the Borehole Data that is displayed in your Civil 3D drawing, how borehole is displayed in plan and model views, and where you can manage the point and label styles. The Borehole filters allow you to isolate the display of the Borehole points in Civil 3D. You can filter by the Location type, date range, depth range, and within a CAD boundary.
This video is one in a series of videos included in the Geotechnical Modeler Fundamentals course. In this video you will learn how to place, edit and remove 2D and 3D borehole Sticklogs. Sticklogs label the subsurface strata and depth at each borehole. The 3D Sticklogs are displayed as cylinders and can be stylized for more appealing displays.
This video is one in a series of videos included in the Geotechnical Modeler Fundamentals course. In this video you will learn how to create stratum surfaces from borehole data and how to display the strata surfaces in your Civil 3D drawing. The Stratum Surface Display tool allows you to control the boundary for the strata surfaces and turn on/off surface components in 2D and 3D views
This video is one in a series of videos included in the Geotechnical Modeler Fundamentals course. In this video you will learn how to create and display subsurface profiles in Civil 3D. Subsurface profiles are created from stratum surfaces and displayed onto an alignment’s Profile View. The subsurface profiles can be created along the entire alignment, or a given station range. You can select which subsurface profile you want to display or display all stratum profiles. Sticklogs are added with the stratum profiles, with display controls to manage their appearance.
New in Civil 3D 2023.1 a new surface triangulation option, Dynamic Differential has been added to the Geotechnical Modeler. Dynamic Differential builds the stratum surfaces through the use of temporary depth and composite volume surfaces. Using these surfaces, stratum surface depths can be accurately interpolated over an entire, more detailed terrain. Formerly, this method required many additional surfaces, but now with the Geotechnical Modeler, the workflow has been simplified.
In this course, you will learn how to model subsurfaces for land development projects in Civil 3D using the Geotechnical Modeler. The Geotechnical Modeler is a Civil 3D add-on used to import borehole data and build stratum surfaces to use for downstream project tasks. Soil Boring data can be imported from multiple data sources, into a local project database, and inserted into your drawing files as Civil 3D points. Using the Geotechnical Modeler toolset, you can create 2D and 3D boreholes, display Sticklogs, build stratum surfaces, and create subsurface profiles.
