Workflow Processes:

• Transferring Data from the Field

  This process contains tasks to import point data from the field. One task simply imports an ASCII point file that can be processed with description keys.

  A different series of tasks outline the sequence required to convert coordinate and raw files into a fieldbook file that is imported into a survey database.

• Entering and Adjusting Traverses

  The task sequence in this process instructs you on how to manually enter control points and enter a traverse using those control points. Once the traverse is complete, adjust the traverse using Compass Rule, Crandall Rule, Transit Rule or Least Squares to correct errors.

• Transferring Data to the Field

  This process documents the tasks to create staking points from a design corridor and creating a file to upload to a field data collector.

• Create Parcels

  This process walks you through laying out a subdivision parcel and subdividing it to create lots based on area and frontage.

• Existing Ground Surfaces Toolbox

  This process will walk you through the creation of a surface using contours or points and breaklines (fault lines).

  This process is setup as a toolbox, where the tasks are not dependent on one and other.

• Analyze Surfaces Toolbox

  This process toolbox contains tasks for analyzing and reporting information on surfaces.
  It includes tasks for displaying elevation contours & banding, watersheds, contour depressions, surface slopes & slope arrows, cut/fill regions, water drop flowlines, report volumes and review surface statistics.

• Working with Point Clouds

  Civil 3D 2017 was the last version that creates a Point Cloud object from data files.

  Point Cloud data can be processed in Autodesk ReCap, then imported to a Civil 3D drawing file from a Recap .rcp file. This process will walk through how to create the .rcp file, import it to a drawing and create a Civil 3D surface.

• Point Transformation

  This process walks through transforming points between a point file and drawing.
