Advanced Civil 3D with InfraWorks / BIM

Learn to create and modify surface styles, add spot elevations and slope labels, analyze elevations and contours, and manage boundaries and data shortcuts in Civil 3D.

Build Civil 3D surfaces in prospector, add points and break lines, apply data clip boundaries, integrate DSM and survey data, smooth contours, and label elevations in 3D.

Create alignments from polylines, lines, and xrefs, including centerline and best fit options. Apply layout tools and design checks to ensure compliance with design criteria.

Create and design parametric subassemblies to build corridor models in Civil 3D, using markers, tool palettes, and codes to control widths, slopes, and daylighting.

Create and edit road intersections by using the intersection tool to combine corridors, set alignments and offsets, configure curb returns, subassemblies, daylighting, and update corridors.

Create and refine a manual intersection in Civil 3D using connected alignments and profiles, adjusting corridors, baselines, regions, curb returns, and target mapping.

Learn to create corridor surfaces in Civil 3D using link and feature lines, add driveways, apply boundaries, and use volumes and sample lines for cut, fill, and sections.

Create section views from sample lines along the McAllister Boulevard corridor, sample existing ground, and compute earthworks and materials using average end area, prisma oil, and composite methods.

Create and modify assemblies with extra lanes, curbs, sidewalks, and daylighting, split corridor regions, set targets, build intersections, and then apply slope patterns and hatch fills for plan views.

Define and manage feature lines to set elevations, grading groups, and dynamic surfaces within a site. Use the elevation editor and relative to surface options for real-time updates.

Create and edit grading groups for a balancing pond and house pads using site creation, feature lines, and grading creation tools to build a volume-based surface with pond embankment slopes.

Balance cut and fill using grading groups and grading volume tools to establish optimum building pad and balance the pond, then create a finished ground model for drainage and utilities.

Build a storm drainage pipe network in Civil 3D using pipe network tools with the Iowa City Storm parts list, finished ground as reference, and feature lines for elevations.

Create pressure pipe networks from objects using Civil 3D, reference a combined surface (existing ground plus design) and data shortcuts, then generate alignments and profile views.

Attach xrefs for surfaces and corridors, generate sample lines from the centerline alignment, and create section views and production sheets with a template via sheet set manager.

Build a model with model builder by importing terrain, roads, water features, and building footprints from Open St. Maps and imagery; Infraworks and Civil 3D share data bidirectionally.

design and analyze drainage networks in infraworks with watershed creation, culvert sizing, and 2d flood simulation to predict water elevations and velocities for 10-, 50-, and 100-year storms.
