Autodesk Civil 3D: Procedures and Applications
Autodesk Civil 3D Procedures and Applications Author:Harry O. Ward "Autodesk Civil 3D: Procedures & Applications" is rapidly becoming a primary reference book for introductory civil engineering classes and related CAD laboratories. It provides the reader with theories, formulas and algorithms of fundamental civil engineering concepts and usage. The usage includes manual calculations using calculators, pencil... more » and paper in the first half of each chapter and expands into automated usage using the new Autodesk Civil 3D software in the second half of the chapter. As a result this text is perfectly suited to bridge the lecture and the laboratory. In addition to the Civil 3D software the text also includes an in-depth discussion of the Autodesk MAP 3D and VIZ Render software that is built into the Civil 3D solution.Each chapter begins with goal setting and explains Key terms. Then detailed explanations of the mathematics and engineering concepts occur and are complimented by hundreds of images and AutoCAD sample drawings. All procedures walk the user step-by-step through the problem and solutions. Each procedure has an AutoCAD file to begin the work in as well as a file that has been completed based on the instructions. This allows advanced users who don’t want to slog through all of the details to get to the advanced material that they are after quickly. It also works perfectly for the beginner who wants to learn basic usage on their way to becoming an expert user, since the file can always be reloaded or they can jump to the ultimate solution.« less
