(Loosely based on the existing Chapter 7.



Closed Connect Traverse (from the previous Appendix A.4).Network Traverse (from the previous Appendix A.3).Online Map Services (Since we don't have the aerial image from the Geospatial chapter!).Entering data for the boundary (from the previous Exercise 3c).It was in this chapter where the preliminary surface was built from GIS data, so we will need to build a surface from a different method.Ĭhapter 2(New) will deal with setting up the Survey User Settings: This meant however that the "GIS-Data" surface that was generated in the Geospatial chapter was inaccessible to the rest of the chapters, therefore the whole workflow had to change to build a surface from more traditional survey sources.Ĭhapter 1 will mostly remain the same as an introduction to Civil 3D.Ĭhapter 2 (Geospatial) by popular demand is moving to the appendix. It still holds value to the course, however it is better located in the appendices as an option.

There was a persistent request to move the Geospatial chapter out of the main body of the book. The goal of this book (and for surveyors) is to create an Existing Conditions Plan, which will be used to a create data shortcut for Existing Ground. I want to make this a more realistic workflow, but reuse as much of the book and the data as possible. For the Civil 3D for Surveyors 2020 release, you will note changes throughout the Learning Guide, from Chapter 2 onward. These are introductory Learning Guides with no prior Civil 3D experience required. ASCENT currently offers three Learning Guides for Civil 3D:
