What you will learn

Learn AutoCAD Civil 3D from a leading expert

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of working with this CAD software and be able to apply your knowledge to your own projects.

Description

In this AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 training course, expert author Seth Cohen teaches you the about the tools and techniques needed to work in this civil engineering design and documentation solution software. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no prior experience with Civil 3D is required.

You will start by taking a tour of the interface, and then jump into learning how to work with points. Seth teaches you how to use the survey database, manage and edit surfaces, and create alignments. This video tutorial also covers corridor modeling, grading in Civil 3D, pipe networks, quantity takeoffs, creating sheets, and much more. Finally, you will learn about pressure pipe networks, and how to create a Civil 3D surface from point clouds.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of working with this CAD software and be able to apply your knowledge to your own projects. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.

Information comes a little fast and terminology is a little difficult to keep up with at times due to being new, but am learning a lot and enjoying the course.

The course is a bit fast for new users. No issues otherwise. Preferably could include some small activities to test the study.

This course covers almost all the main topics of c3d, however, some topics are not starting from beginning and the person taking the course can have a little difficulty understanding the context.

I am a transportation Engineer and knowledge of Civil 3D is essential. This course gives a robust introduction to start designing roadways.

Indeed it is what I want to get the feel of this Autocad Civil 3D 2016 experience. Really stimulating

I like how organized and clear the topics of what AutoCad Civil 3D can do is presented and how it can be done.

The overview states that this course is for all skill levels. It's not. I don't even know what the drawing is that stays on the screen for several chapters. No effort is made to explain the principles of civil engineering or to connect the various functions with practical applications. The instructor has no consciousness that he's teaching "all levels" - he might as well be talking to himself for all the good this is doing me. Not relating to the students at all. I'm completely lost and I have a professional background in AutoCAD and a Udemy Certificate for an AutoCAD 2016 course.

He talks too fast for me. Also, he did not give any direction on which file to open up for the lectures (lectures 2-9).

No toca muchos temas desde lo básico y se salta cosas, lo que es un problema si nunca habías agarrado Civil 3d

Speed rate of videos is very fast like there´s no enought time to reproduce them and it is unconfortable to follow it

I like the course so far; the lecturer looks so knowledgeable and has a great experience in using the software, the only thing that I didn't really like is the speed of speech and the use of options, so I give 4.5, but generally the course is so valuable and informative, really thanks for this great course.

I have not watched the entire class so i cannot make a final decision. But i would like to see tutorials of how example structures can be made.

No details. Really fast and skims over topics. I thought this would be an in depth course with exercises, not just follow along lectures. Also no help support, the zip I downloaded seems to not be working with all the lectures (all surveying files don't expand and don't include linework when downloaded).

I am still quite new to this program (although i have worked in similar as i worked as a Survey technician for 5 1/2 year. Yet, the complication is a little above me. But, as this have been introduktion to new things that i did not know. It's still a good course.)

Well laid out so far for an overview of the functions. Looking forward to getting into the meat of the course!
