  Modeling Driveways Course Introduction
  (Course Duration: 40 minutes)

  Course Description
  In this course, you will learn a basic and straight forward workflow to model driveways in Civil 3D along a corridor with curb and gutter. Modeling and showing driveway detail in Civil 3D corridors can be an arduous task, and oftentimes amount to more effort than what it is worth. The workflow presented in this course will leverage a custom driveway assembly that is versatile and includes many targets to override default subassembly dimensions. You will learn how to create and grade the driveway geometry using Civil 3D grading tools, which are helpful for initial grading and for refinements. Although this workflow focuses on driveway modeling, you can also apply this same workflow to curb ramps at pedestrian crossings.

  Course Objectives
  The material presented in this course teach you how to:
  Import a subassembly onto the Civil 3D Tool Palette
  Use a driveway subassembly to model driveways
  Create a Corridor with driveway grading
  Model driveway features along tangents and curves
  Grade driveway features to lower the curb height through a driveway
  Add offset and elevation targets to a corridor
  Use corridor frequencies to enhance corridor models
  Swap Triangles to improve surface triangulation

  Course Prerequisites
  To participate in this training course, you should have the following:
  Fundamental knowledge of corridor modeling in Civil 3D
