    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.

Requirements

  • Basic Knowledge of Civil 3d Fundamentals

Description

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.


Course Prerequisites

To participate in this training course, you should have the following:

· A general understanding of soil suitability and borehole analysis

· Fundamental knowledge and experience with Civil 3D.
