• Automate lot grading based on design parameter inputs
• Update lot gradings as road gradings change, automatically
• Auto-insert house pads based on 3D offsets from the road
• Automate surface creation, as break lines are managed with Auto Grader

Even with the broad set of tools available in Civil 3D, survey users often get overlooked. Check out this webinar to learn about Productivity tools for Surveyors in Civil 3D. We’ll cover data processing solutions from the CIM Project Suite, as well as standard optimization tools in the CIM Manager Suite from SolidCAD.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn to quickly prep data for construction staking.

Pond grading in Civil 3D typically requires many offsets of feature lines. These relationships between top of pond, benches and slopes are often pre-defined. With Auto Grader from the CIM Project Suite, users can define one pond baseline, then using slope and offset parameters defined in Auto Grader, create all subsequent feature lines automatically. If the pond baseline feature line changes, simply refresh the grading family in Auto Grader and all dependent feature lines will update.

• Save pond design templates for future use in other drawings and projects
• Don't worry about managing surface breaklines, since Auto Grader handles it
• Focus more on design and less on tedious feature line editing
