This article is the first of a series focused on the visualization capabilities of AutoCAD Civil 3D.Ĭorridor objects are design tools used to model proposed roadways and other linear design features through alignments, profiles, and proposed cross-sections. Being able to view designs in 3D as they develop is one of the most compelling reasons to work in Civil 3D's dynamic, model-based environment. Civil 3D 2008 and its AutoCAD 2008 platform contain a host of tools to help users generate respectable design visualizations. For most users, design visualization is Civil 3D's greatest untapped strength. More civil engineers and site designers are being asked to create 3D visualizations of their projects for clients and the general public. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain detailed step-by-step instructions with graphical illustrations to carry out the AutoCAD commands.Visualizing Civil 3D Data, Part 1 (CAD Clinic: Civil 3D Tutorial) 29 Feb, 2008 By: Mike Choquette With a few changes to your code set style, you can view your corridors in 3D immediately. The bulleted objectives provide a general overview of the material covered. Each chapter starts with the chapter objectives followed by the introduction.


Furthermore, the contents and the drawings of every chapter are improved. Also, new problems have been added to the homework’s chapter.

For some of the initial ICAs, it explains the drawing with the help of step-by-step instruction. Chapter chapter 19, 'Suggested In-Class Activities', has been improved and provides in-class activities (or labs). An index has been added and one of the chapters has been partitioned into two chapters, hence the twenty two chapters. Several improvements have been made to this edition. The drawings shown in this book are created using AutoCAD 2012 and Paint software. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions to carry out the AutoCAD commands.

The main purpose of this book is to provide civil engineering students with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2012.
