Autocad Civil 3d Sample Drawings In Autocad

Hi Fellas, I started a previous post a while ago about sample drawings but didn't know if anyone would answer a new post there, so I've started a new one. I'm after some sample drawings (produced in civil 3d) of the following: bulk earthworks (in the context of a subdivision) - preferrably with cut and fill hatched and showing depth of cut/fill, tables etc., crossections of different areas of the site (to show finished ground, existing ground, site service etc.), a drainage plan + drainage longsections and some road longsections. These drawings are to help give me an idea of what civil 3D generated drawings will look like on paper. I've seen all these things in AutoCAD, but want some examples from Civil 3D to have as a comparison. Ideally the drawings would all be in the context of a subdivision. If anyone would be able to help me by either providing drawings or directing me to where I could find some I would be very grateful. Regards, Lachlan.

Hello Lachlan Pretty much every title block from any company has something like this on it: I think you need to take another look at the the tutorials. Right off the bat the corridor tutorial specifically goes through a sub-division. Just because a pipe tutorial is in a road doesn't mean you cant run it through a site. There is an entire division of the software devoted to dividing up a subdivision. Aligngment aint just for roads: alignments and surface profiles are probably the most powerful dynamic linking tool in the cabinet. The grading tutorials are all about Site and building pad grading; your job - figure out how to use it to your advantage.

Cross Sections? If you are doing earthworks and not looking at a cross section, you are probably doing something wrong.

Material calculations. To paraphrase Stan Lee. 'Nuff said' Labels & tabels. Just like at the end of the hokey pokey: Thats what its all about! Learn how to leverage your labels and tabels Most importantly, you have to understand the software where you can leverage it to work for 'you'.

The tools are a means to an end and you have to approach it that way. Don't get caught up in. 'there isn't a subdivision earthwork button'. Do the tutorials, take some classes, learn the tools and make them work for you. If Earthwork is your interesest focus on building surfaces and getting quantities. You may find, in a particular situation, that maybe a 'Road' tool gets me to where I need to go. I have said this before: 'You have to get under the hood and scrape your knuckles'.

Keep poking your re-sellers. I find it odd that they aren't calling back. Come back with specific questions on earth works orwhat ever and you'll get plenty of responses. By the way: Don't they have roads in these subdivisions you are involved with? Roads are typically the backbone: set you roads and pads and the rest of the site should grade itself. Could someone please help me here?

Google results give me no guarantee that the pictures I've viewed of the aforementioned were created in Civil 3D, and I really need drawings created in Civil 3D. I've already gone through the tutorial files that come with C3D, and they don't have what I'm after. Surely there's some site that has example drawings created in Civil 3D? Autodesk should supply something of the sort for prospective customers to view.

Once again if anyone can help I would be very grateful. Regards, Lachlan. Forgive me if I come off sounding harsh, but you're asking an awful lot of other professionals to hand over their work.

If I recall you first post, your boss is looking for some sort of validation of the software. First off, as a business owner I'm suprised he would make such a request.

It is often hard enough to get drawing files from another firm when you are working on the same project. My recomendation is this: 1. His re-seller and many others would probably be thrilled to come to his office and demonstrate what the program can do. 1.a Get a free trial 2. There is always a dog and pony show at some hotel or convention center near everyone.

The tutorial folder is a plethora of data that can be culled over and examined. Is in a few weeks. Hi Joe, Thanks for replying - please forgive my ignorance: when I say that I'm completely new to Civil 3D, I should also have mentioned that I'm completely new to the industry. I have literally worked as a draftsman for 4 months (as a new graduate). I am unaware of professional conventions (but thankfully am learning thanks to you all on this site). I was unaware that professionals don't like handing out their work freely.

May I politely ask why is this? Is it because of copyright/legal issues? I have already contacted the reseller, who have yet to get back to me; I also have a free trial, which I am using, and have checked the tutorial files - they do have examples of cut/fill, sewer longsections etc., but not within the context of a subdivision. The cut and fill sections it shows are along road alignments, which doesn't really help me, as we don't really do roads.

Give you free example drawings/files? Regards, Lachlan. Hello Lachlan Pretty much every title block from any company has something like this on it: I think you need to take another look at the the tutorials. Right off the bat the corridor tutorial specifically goes through a sub-division.
