Civil Tech Source

Welcome to Civil TechSource!

The mission:
To share the answers to the questions that I once had as a graduate engineer with other graduate engineers. To this end, this website provides educational content to help new graduate engineers find appropriate solutions to common challenges at the start of their careers.

About me:
My aspiration is to create an innovative platform to share solutions with other civil engineers facing day-to-day challenges and discuss how the industry has been, is being, and will be transformed through the application of Artificial Intelligence technology. Other than that, just 3 years of experience in Civil Engineering.

    Great video. I have heard the hrading objects are.pretty unstable in surfaces though and I myself have had many issues with them not working correctly. When you do a design like this, relying so heavily on them, what type of measures will you put in to lower the risk of something failing in your drawing? For example I create my finished surface it its own drawinf and data ref into my plan set drawing.

  • @CivilTechSource
    @CivilTechSource22 күн бұрын

    Hi @dappercam many thanks for the comment! Well as with each Civil3D update is becoming more and more stable, I am not that worried about things breaking but more trying to keep things separate and clean and to it's intended purpose. So yes, I would have a C3D file where only the ponds are in there, another where the corridors are in and so on. For example I separate the surfaces into Existing, Proposed, Formation, Earthworks.

    Hi @craig7878 that will depend on what project you working on. If you want to follow this tutorial, just create a rectangle and give it and elevation. Create a surface and add the rectangle to the surface. But if you are working on a live project, you will have to check your topographical survey and see what kind of information you are working with.

    I can only think of using the default ones. As the style will be based of values such as elevation, each lidar will have different set of elevations. So maybe once importing them you better of merging them all into one?
