Learning Path Courses:

Modeling Driveways

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

Modeling Ponds

Modeling Ponds Course Introduction

(Course Duration: 45 minutes)

Course Description

In this course, you will learn a simple and straight forward approach to grading drainage ponds. Civil 3D includes a number of grading tools that you can leverage to model ponds for your infrastructure projects. Depending upon the requirements for your pond design, there are different approaches you can take. In this course you’ll learn how to use a single pond feature line and custom berm assembly to create a pond surface. Use this workflow as a template, or framework, to create dynamic pond models that you can easily adjust to meet your design requirements.

Course Objectives

The material presented in this course teach you how to:

· Perform a Grading Optimization for a dry pond

· Create a pond grading model using a corridor

· Validate and adjust pond storage

· Validate and adjust pond earthwork volumes

· Add berm spillway

Course Prerequisites

To participate in this training course, you should have the following:

· Civil 3D Grading Fundamentals
