Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 software provides users with an easy-to-use interface for visually creating complex subassemblies without the need for advanced programming knowledge. While you will sometimes find yourself starting with a clean slate, other times you may find yourself needing to modify a Subassembly Composer PKT file created by another user. Intended for existing Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D users, this class explores how to break apart an existing Subassembly Composer flowchart and make it your own. You will see the problems and pitfalls that can make your own flowcharts difficult to understand. You will also learn tips and tricks for making your flowcharts easy to share and be further enhanced by coworkers, colleagues, and the Civil 3D community at large.

Welcome to Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D software! This is a lab for those that have utilized AutoCAD Civil 3D software for some time, but are interested in figuring out how to take their corridors to a whole new level. We will develop subassemblies you can put to work as soon as you're home, and give you a methodology for creation that will make your co-workers think you're a professional software developer. Specifically, we will begin by diving into good subassembly design practices, taken directly from our friends in the software development industry. The subassemblies we'll build together in this lab are particularly relevant to those in the land development industry, but they have direct value for those designing with corridors in AutoCAD Civil 3D software. This lab will also touch on how to harness the capabilities of the Subassembly Composer to utilize InfraWorks 360 software for design visualization. Consider this class the introduction to the course I taught last year for those in the aviation design industry. This session features AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorks 360.

This class will show how to capitalize on the power of Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 software. In this class we will start with the basics to create simple subassemblies and continue to more complex subassemblies to find solutions to the real problems faced in the industry. We will then demonstrate how we can incorporate these assemblies in the design using AutoCAD Civil 3D software and InfraWorks software.

This class will provide an in-depth look at using the Autodesk® Subassembly Composer. Learn how to organize your workflow and create complex subassemblies of tunnels, retaining walls, highways, and others with ease.

Autodesk’s Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D software provides users with a flowchart interface for building complex subassemblies for use in AutoCAD Civil 3D assemblies and corridors without the need for advanced programming knowledge. There are times when starting with a clean slate makes the most sense; but with more and more Subassembly Composer PKT files available to download with AutoCAD Civil 3D, it is becoming increasingly possible to modify an existing subassembly PKT file to fit your needs. Knowing how to navigate and troubleshoot these existing files, while modifying them to fit your particular needs, will enhance the power of your corridors and provide you with a personalized solution. This class is for users who have basic knowledge of Subassembly Composer and want to improve their ability to understand PKT files that were built using someone else’s logic, and to make changes to the input parameters, output parameters, target parameters, enumeration groups, and flowchart elements.

Grading on an aviation site is tricky; there are often competing needs and regulations that dictate multiple requirements in the same space. What's more is the inherent need for safety and measurability. Add to this the reality that most aviation facilities are landlocked and the grading required is not going to be solved by out-of-the-box solutions. This course will give examples of using the Subassembly Composer software to create custom grading subassemblies for use in AutoCAD Civil 3D software and the advanced grading that you can complete once in AutoCAD Civil 3D software. This workflow creates huge advantage to the end user, and speeds design changes and competing requirements on projects that are experiencing a rapid drop in investment (fee).

Subassembly Composer for Civil 3D software is an amazingly powerful tool for anyone who uses corridors in Civil 3D. There are so many situations where the built-in subassemblies just won't get you what you need. In this class you'll get a chance to build your own subassemblies and see them in action in Civil 3D. We'll start off with a simple shape, and then continue on to something more complex with targets and logical decisions.

Subassembly Composer is a powerful tool for generating custom subassemblies for your corridors in AutoCAD Civil 3D software. By thinking about what your project needs in each phase of the project design you can make subassemblies that work for you. In conceptual design, you want to understand the site and visually see what you have to work with. As you progress into preliminary design, you want to gather information and start to make decisions to generate your design concept. As the design progresses, subassemblies can start to make more decisions for you. And with final design around the corner, you will finesse your design with a complete composite assembly with both your custom subassemblies and out-of-the-box subassemblies working together. With the right mindset, Subassembly Composer can generate subassemblies created especially for helping you through each of these key points in your civil designs.

This class will provide an introduction to creating custom subassemblies using the Subassembly Composer and then using these subassemblies for doing quantity takeoff for corridors using the various custom codes included in the subassembly.

Getting accurate quantities doesn't start when you build a material list; it starts at the creation of the corridor assembly. This being said, using subassemblies that don’t depict the true build may yield quantities that are inaccurate. By using Subassembly Composer software, the user can construct a subassembly that will represent truly how the corridor will be built in the field. With the ability to add point, link, and shape codes to the subassembly, the end user can take full advantage of using pay items. Pay items will not only calculate an accurate quantity but can also categorize the quantity into subcategories. This class will walk the user through the process of creating subassemblies with Enumerations, Switches, and Decisions. Then you'll apply codes to the points, links, and shapes of the subassembly for use with the pay items in AutoCAD Civil 3D's code sets.

In more complicated designs users can see efficiency gains in using customized subassemblies that do the work of multiple assembly regions. In this lab users will experience using Subassembly Composer to create a subassembly that uses a Decision function to facilitate multiple end conditions along a design with a single assembly or region. Then, using that custom subassembly in Civil 3D, we will use the Corridor Transition tools to adjust the design with a high level of control.

This class will provide an in-depth look into using Autodesk's Subassembly Composer. Learn how to create, use, share, and update subassemblies in your organization and learn some tips on how to manage them. This class will highlight the importance of customizing a code set style to suit the client's requirements. This class will also show the power of Subassembly Composer to make one subassembly that can be used to create multilink solid transitions. This subassembly can transition almost any type of polygon.

With Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D software, users build custom subassemblies to drive their corridor models to the next level. But what about creating subassemblies that are useful across many projects? In this class we will demonstrate how to successfully parameterize a custom subassembly, complete with targets. We will also explore a 4-sided example that Sundt Construction, Inc., has found very useful in corridor modeling.

AutoCAD Civil 3D software is a great tool for building corridor models, but can be rather challenging when it comes to modeling the “devil in the details,” such as ramp tapers, curb laybacks, pram ramps, and all sorts of earthworks transitions. Learn how to design and model complex subassemblies using Subassembly Composer software and then harness that intelligence within AutoCAD Civil 3D software corridors. We will also look at how to build complex, dynamic earthworks arrangements using a combination of custom subassemblies, offset alignments, auxiliary corridors, and alternate modeling techniques. This class is designed to get you thinking outside of the box with your approach to corridor modeling and to produce rich, detailed and—most importantly—dynamic 3D corridor models.

Urban corridor models can often be very restraining, and obtaining additional right of way (ROW) can be both costly and difficult. This instructional demo will utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D software and Subassembly Composer using an example project that has limited ROW while widening both the roadway and adjacent sidewalks. The demonstration will show how the corridor model was developed using auxiliary corridors to define proposed improvements. Custom subassemblies were created to model curb ramps, stairs, and curb transitions to meet criteria and constraints. Upon completion of this class, attendees will evaluate an approach to designing roadways with auxiliary corridor models and creating custom subassemblies to further define the actual roadway elements that will be constructed. Attendees will also be able to create a visualization of the urban corridor to help the public and reviewers understand the design.

Infrastructure BIM development is racing ahead, and every year, new software versions and releases come out at a breakneck pace to make sure that we all deliver the best possible output to our clients in highway design. This class will show why custom subassemblies instead of the standard content are a must-have for any business or project that values design, drawing, and model consistency. We’ll cover how to control and maintain model consistency, to reduce user error, to drive drawing outputs, and even how to use subassemblies to automate asset data extraction. The class will give an overview of Subassembly Composer creation, share some tips and tricks that have been learned on the UK’s current largest infrastructure design project, and cover how you can use subassemblies to drive, standardize, and reduce error. We’ll demonstrate why business leaders need to think seriously about subassemblies and make them a key part of internal standards and practices.

In São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, modeling underground infrastructure involves complex technical and data challenges. This case study will present the first Brazilian project to apply SCAN-2-BIM with IFC 4.3 interoperability in an active metro tunnel—part of the Line 2-Green extension, more than 40 meters deep. Reality capture was done entirely with terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). The point cloud was semantically classified and feature-extracted in ReCap software. Modeling was automated using Civil 3D software with Dynamo and Subassembly Composer, while coordination and export were handled via Navisworks and IFC 4.3 from Civil 3D. The team overcame issues of data volume, accuracy, and integration. This pioneering project also defined asset-agnostic workflows for SCAN-2-BIM in linear infrastructure—scalable and reusable across future projects.
