Digging Into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 - Level 1 Training

This introductory Civil 3D book takes you through a complete project while you learn the software fundamentals. The author is a skilled instructor with direct industry and classroom experience.

You will learn the best procedures for many common tasks, including working with:

• GIS Data
• Raster Images
• Points
• Surfaces
• Parcels
• Alignment
• Profiles
• Corridors
• Sections
• Grading

One of the most important features in Civil 3D is Styles. Styles control the display, labeling, and in some cases the geometric properties of Civil 3D objects. This book exposes you to many different object and label styles as you work through the project, teaching you the concepts within the context of an ordinary workflow.

Since many users are transitioning from Land Desktop, many tips are included to make this process easier.
