Autodesk® Civil 3D® 2027: Fundamentals for General Civil Design comprises two learning guides – Autodesk® Civil 3D® 2027: Essentials and Autodesk® Civil 3D® 2027: Beyond the Basics for General Civil Design. This 2-book set is a cost effective option for users looking to learn fundamental Civil 3D skills.

In Autodesk Civil 3D 2027: Essentials, 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.

Topics Covered (Essentials)

• Learn the Autodesk Civil 3D 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.

Autodesk Civil 3D 2027: Beyond the Basics for General Civil Design covers software configuration, 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 (Beyond the Basics)

• 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.

* For those interested in learning the survey functionality, refer to Civil 3D: Essentials for Surveyors.
