The Autodesk® Civil 3D® 2023: Fundamentals guide is designed for civil engineers and surveyors who want to take advantage of the Autodesk Civil 3D software’s interactive, dynamic design functionality. The Autodesk Civil 3D software permits the rapid development of alternatives through its model-based design tools.

In Part 1: Essentials (chapters 1 to 10), you will learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, perform grading and volume calculation tasks, and lay out pipe networks.

Part 2: Beyond the Basics (chapters 11 to 18) looks at configuring the software, Civil 3D's styles and settings, alternative ways to create surfaces, and creating parcels. It also goes beyond the basics for more advanced corridor and pipe network design. Finally, it covers customizing sheet set properties, performing quantity takeoffs, and visualization.

Topics Covered

• Learn the Autodesk Civil 3D 2023 user interface.
• Create points and point groups and work with survey figures.
• Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces.
• Create and edit alignments.
• Create sites, profiles, and cross-sections.
• Create assemblies, corridors, and intersections.
• Create grading solutions.
• Create gravity-fed and pressure pipe networks.
• Use plan production tools to create plan and profile sheets.
• Create a Civil 3D template drawing.
• Create and manage styles and label styles.
• Create data shortcuts.
• Create and edit parcels and print parcel reports.
• Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces.
• Create assemblies, corridors, and roundabouts.
• Add appurtenances to pressure pipe networks.
• Customize sheet set properties.
• Perform quantity takeoff and volume calculations.

Prerequisites

• Access to the 2023.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2022).
