In this month’s Infrastructure Tuesday, Michael Gaines teaches us to best utilize Civil 3D for surveyors to create and maintain topography efficiently and consistently. See how Civil 3D can be used to process Field Survey Data to reduce office drafting time and provide consistent repeatable results. Civil 3D...

Did you know that you can publish Autodesk Civil 3D surfaces to Autodesk BIM 360 so they can be referenced in an Autodesk Revit model as a topography? In this webinar, James Lord (StarLord James) takes a deep dive into this process and how to make it work for...
In Civil 3D, styles "control the appearance of drawing objects, labels, and tables." In this video, I lay out 4 common questions about developing styles in Civil 3D that I'll address at the April 3rd Infrastructure Tuesday webinar.
You may already know that CTB and STBs are types of plot styles. But what you may not know is that each drawing created is either CTB-based or STB-based—you can't have a drawing that is both. In this video, I took a quick look at the difference between them.
External references (xrefs) and data shortcuts (drefs) are two methods of attaching and referencing data from other projects in Civil 3D. In this webinar, I took a look at the advantages and disadvantages of both. Read on to learn more!
So you need to reference objects from another drawing in your Civil 3D project; do you use external references or data shortcuts? When do you choose one over the other? In this video, get a sneak peek at the most common questions Civil 3D users have about xrefs and...
Annotation scaling in AutoCAD allows you to plot annotation at the same height or size regardless of the viewport zoom scale. In this webinar, I give an overview on annotation scaling and looked at the actual tools for annotation commands and how it can reduce the time spent in annotating...
In the October 10th Infrastructure Tuesday webinar, Nick Harper discussed four ways that you can coordinate data between Revit and Civil 3D. Read on to learn how you can share your project data in a meaningful way.
