Introduction

The AutoCAD® Civil 3D® program was introduced in 2004 as preview software. Over the past 12 years, the AutoCAD Civil 3D series has matured from a not so functional concept to a platform used worldwide to handle the most complex dynamic engineering designs. Even though Civil 3D has assumed a strong presence in the land development and transportation markets, there are companies, teams, and individuals who must transition from other software products to the Civil BIM solution offered by Civil 3D.

We hope this book will help you in this journey. As the user base grows and users get beyond the absolute basics, more materials are needed, offering a multitude of learning opportunities. This book thoroughly covers the basics and will give you the insight needed to proceed onto complex workflows. We would love to hear suggestions from you, so feel free to contact us. Please refer to the "How to Contact the Authors" section for details.

Designed to help you get past the steepest part of the learning curve and teach you some cool tricks along the way, Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 is the ideal addition to any AutoCAD Civil 3D user's bookshelf.

Who Should Read This Book

Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 was designed with specific users in mind. We expect you'll have a solid knowledge of AutoCAD in general and some basic engineering knowledge as well. A basic understanding of AutoCAD Civil 3D will not be necessary, and if you are new to Civil 3D, it is strongly suggested that you start with Chapter 1. Those who do have some fundamental knowledge can jump straight to the sections that interest them. We expect this book will appeal to a large number of AutoCAD Civil 3D users, but we envision a few primary users.

Beginning Users Looking to Make the Move to Using AutoCAD Civil 3D These people understand AutoCAD and some basics of engineering, but they are looking to learn AutoCAD Civil 3D on their own, broadening their skill set to make themselves more valuable in their firms and in the market.
AutoCAD Civil 3D Users Looking for a Desktop Reference With the digitization of the official help files, many users still long for a book they can flip open and keep beside them as they work. These people should be able to jump to the information they need for the task at hand, such as further information about a confusing dialog or troublesome design issue.
Users Looking to Prepare for the Autodesk Certification Exams This book focuses on the fundamental elements you need to pass the Professional exam with flying colors and includes margin icons to note topics of interest. Just look for the icon.
Classroom Instructors Looking for Better Materials This book was written with real data from real design firms. We've worked hard to make many of the examples match the real-world problems we have run into as engineers. This book also goes into greater depth than any other available text, allowing short classes to review the basics (and leave the in-depth material for self-discovery) and longer classes to cover the full material presented.

This book can be used front to back as a self-teaching or instructor-based instruction manual. Each chapter has a number of exercises, and most (but not all) build on the previous exercise. You can also skip to almost any exercise in any chapter and jump right in. We've created a large number of drawing files that you can download from www.sybex.com/go/masteringcivil3d2016 to make choosing your exercises a simple task.

What You Will Learn

Although this book was written to teach you how to use just about all of the tools Civil 3D has to offer, working with a good Civil 3D mentor will be invaluable. There are ways you can combine tools and develop workflows in various design scenarios that may not be obvious to you.

This book teaches you to use the tools Civil 3D has to offer, presents you with a number of options and real-world scenarios, and introduces you to the new features in the current version. If you work through the entire book, you should be able to look at any design task you run across, consider a number of ways to approach it, and have some idea of how to accomplish the task.

What You Need

Before you begin learning AutoCAD Civil 3D, you should make sure your hardware is Civil 3D capable. Visit the Autodesk website, www.autodesk.com, and view the hardware requirements, certified and recommended graphic requirements, and so on. One of the most frustrating things that can happen is to be ready to learn only to be stymied by hardware-related hang-ups and crashes. AutoCAD Civil 3D is a hardware-intensive program, testing the limits of every computer on which it runs. You'll also want to download any service packs available.

We also strongly recommend using a dual-monitor setup. The number of dialogs, palettes, and so on, makes AutoCAD Civil 3D a real estate hog. By having the extra space to spread out, you'll be able to see more of your design along with the feedback provided by the program itself.

You need to visit www.sybex.com/go/masteringcivil3d2016 to download all the data and sample files. We recommend you save these files locally on your computer in C:\Mastering\Ch# unless told otherwise.

Free Autodesk Software for Students and Educators

The Autodesk Education Community is an online resource with more than five million members that enables educators and students to download-for free (see website for terms and conditions)-the same software used by professionals worldwide. You can also access additional tools and materials to help you design, visualize, and simulate ideas. Connect with other learners to stay current with the latest industry trends and get the most out of your designs. Get started today at www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/all.

The Mastering Series

The Mastering series from Sybex provides outstanding instruction for readers with intermediate and advanced skills in the form of top-notch training and development for those already working in their field and clear, serious education for those aspiring to become pros. Every Mastering book includes the following features:

Real-world scenarios ranging from case studies to interviews that show how the tool, technique, or knowledge presented is applied in actual practice
Skill-based instruction, with chapters organized around real tasks rather than abstract concepts or subjects
A self-review section called "The Bottom Line" so you can be certain you're equipped to do the job right

What Is Covered in This Book

This book contains 19 chapters and two appendixes:

Chapter 1, "The Basics," introduces you to the interface and many of the common dialogs in AutoCAD Civil 3D. This chapter discusses navigating the interface and customizing your drawing's settings. You will also explore various tools for creating linework.
Chapter 2, "Survey," examines the Survey tab of Toolspace and the unique toolset it contains for handling field surveying and for field book data handling. You will also look at various surveying relationships and analysis tools available on the Survey tab of the ribbon.
Chapter 3, "Points," introduces AutoCAD Civil 3D points and the various methods of creating them. You will also spend some time exploring the control of AutoCAD Civil 3D points with description keys and groups.
Chapter 4, "Surfaces," introduces the various methods of creating surfaces, using free and low-cost data to perform preliminary surface creation. Then you will investigate the various surface editing and analysis methods. The chapter also discusses point clouds and their use.
Chapter 5, "Parcels," examines the best practices for keeping your parcel topology tight and your labeling neat. It examines the various editing methods for achieving the desired results for the most complicated plats.
Chapter 6, "Alignments," introduces the basic horizontal layout element. This chapter also examines using layout tools that maintain the relationships between the tangents, curves, and spiral elements that create alignments.
Chapter 7, "Profiles and Profile Views," examines the vertical aspect of road design from the establishment of the existing profile to the design and editing of the proposed profile. In addition, you will explore how profile views can be customized to meet the required format for your design and plans.
Chapter 8, "Assemblies and Subassemblies," introduces the building blocks of AutoCAD Civil 3D cross-sectional design. You will look at the many subassemblies available in the Tool Palettes and look at how to build full design sections for use in any design environment.
Chapter 9, "Basic Corridors," introduces the basics of corridors-building full designs from horizontal, vertical, and cross-sectional design elements. You will look at the various components to understand how corridors work before moving to a more complex design set.
Chapter 10, "Advanced Corridors, Intersections, and Roundabouts," further examines using corridors in more complex situations. You will learn about building...
