Investigating the Geotechnical Modeler in Civil 3D

Managing geotechnical data in Civil 3D has been a challenge over the years. Autodesk introduced the Geotechnical modeler for Civil 3D 2022. WIth this free extension you can export subsurface data from gINT or another method and create .csv files that will import directly into Civil 3D. This data will enable you to display your borehole sticks in plan view, on a profile, and even export for 3D use in Infraworks. We will review the workflow of how to manage your data with a local database then import that data into an existing Civil 3D project. Then we will focus on creating stratum surfaces and subsurface profiles from that data. We will also review the sample files and the config file manipulating those to change the styles of our boreholes including hatch patterns at a certain scale. The end result will be a dynamically linked drawing containing geotechnical data completely compatible with your Civil 3D design

Where is your next project?
Can you imagine what would happen if you could have a complete view of your area right at the moment you really need it? Even before you draw the first line in a blank AutoCAD or Civil 3D drawing at the very beginning of the preliminary design? Many good things, but given that redesigns and reworks are among the most significant threats to the practicability and sustainability of construction projects worldwide, you would avoid bad decisions and design errors that could lead to time wastage, schedule derailing and cost overruns. In this 30-minute class, Dr. Nick Chanakoulas, Civil Engineer and Head of Customer Success at Plex-Earth, introduces the concept of Remote Surveying. Through project cases, you will learn how to apply its holistic approach by integrating aerial and satellite time-based imagery, detailed terrain modeling, 3D drone data, and real-world design validation techniques in Google Earth's environment, as part of your design process. So, where is your next project?

Why Hazen and Sawyer chose ACC Design over other Doc. Management Systems
In this session we’ll discuss why Hazen chose to implement the Design features of Autodesk Construction Cloud for Civil 3D, Plant 3D, and Revit after extensively testing a variety of other Document Management Systems (Nasuni, Panzura, ProjectWise, BIM 360). Things covered will be: How testing was performed and over what time frame. The key factors that led to Hazen to choose ACC. What our experience was with each DMS. How Hazen is transitioning to ACC from other Document Management Systems. What the positives and negatives are of utilizing ACC Design. What our internal feedback has been from both Designer, Engineers, and Project Managers. What improvements Autodesk can implement to make ACC even better. Along the way we’ll provide details on ACC workflows Hazen has developed and their resulting project efficiencies. We’ll also touch on the possibilities of future ACC implementation around the Takeoff and Build features.

Innovative Generative Design in Revit and Civil 3d for a sustainable city
Flowell by Colas is a dynamic road signaling, helping security and road congestion. Generative design was applied to design the electrical component of this project. The solution starts from an existing condition 2D drawing in DWG, creates the optimal configuration for the electrical network and creates a detailed model in Revit. It is an application of generative design to solve complex design challenges in the electrical discipline and support the decision process. A scalable methodology that opens new possibilities for more effective collaboration to validate ideas early on. It leverages computational design via Dynamo for Civil 3D, design optimization via Generative Design and automation via Dynamo for Revit. Visual programming is extended with Python modules to interact with different software and manage intelligent electrical objects. The generative design study uses electrical objects and implements the designer preferences to create the network.

Giant Steps: Advances in Seamless BIM, CAD, and GIS Integration
Learn from the Product Managers how the Autodesk and Esri partnership is advancing design and GIS collaboration that benefits the AEC and Owner Operators. The intersection of BIM, CAD, and GIS provides incredible insights to enhance project delivery at every level. The functionality between Autodesk and Esri desktops, and collaborative web applications like ArcGIS GeoBIM are improving workflows and transparency for project teams. The improvements in direct support for RVT, DWG, and IFC in ArcGIS Pro, and support for hosted GIS feature service in Civil3D, Infraworks, Map3D, and AutoCAD help bring together design and GIS data. The direct cloud connection between the Autodesk Construction Cloud and ArcGIS Online/Enterprise offers exponential benefits to help manage the project content for stakeholders. The ability to publish Autodesk data directly to ArcGIS Online/Enterprise for use in shared web and field applications expands the value of the data far beyond the design professionals.

Go: An Introduction into Grading Optimization for Civil 3d
The Grading Optimization extension has been on the market for a year now. Some of you have used the tool, but for those of you who haven't and are curious or just don't know where to start, this will be an introduction to Grading Optimization within Civil 3D software. We'll look at the Grading Optimization tool palette and dive into the tools that let us implement grading optimization (including Low Point, Bounded Point, Aligned Edge, Bend Line, Drain Line, Elevation Offset, Zone, Exclusion Zone, Pond, Curb Building Pad, Reveal, Grading Limit, Parking Lot, Sidewalk, and Accessible Path). Using a real-world project, we'll then assign the tools to the 2D objects within our Civil 3D drawing, adjust settings within the optimization screen, run the optimization, and then export the finished product back to Civil 3D. This lets us achieve grading results in minutes, and allows us to explore multiple site-grading scenarios more efficiently.

SHP Import/Export Utility for Civil 3D
In January 2014, Caltrans began work with Autodesk and Trimble representatives to establish a different method to collect survey and asset data that would leverage the strengths of both applications. The goal was to improve data collection methods in the field while providing attribute rich features that transfer smoothly into Civil 3D (C3D) and other asset management systems. The result of these efforts culminated in the creation of Caltrans Survey Asset Collection (CSAC) using the SHP Import/Export Utility. CSAC data is collected using Trimble Access on Trimble data collectors. The data is transferred to Trimble Business Center (TBC) where it is processed, edited, and exported to SHP files. The SHP files are imported into a C3D drawing, creating AutoCAD Points, COGO Points, Feature Lines, and Polylines, all containing embedded property set data. All corrections and edits to the data are made within TBC, new SHP files are exported, and the data is re-imported and updated in C3D.
