AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorks Basics

<p><em>AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorks Basics: A Blended Learning Approach </em>introduces students to a wide range of tools and techniques that can be applied to a variety of engineering and design projects from large federal state and municipal projects to small detailed residential and personal designs. The text combines three essential Autodesk programs-AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorks-into one set of lesson plans and equips readers with the foundational knowledge they need to create effective 2D designs and 3D models.</p><p> </p><p>The book begins by introducing basic AutoCAD tools menus and concepts. It then expands to address AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorks with exercises that cross over between all three. Chapters cover two dimensional drafting exercises essential for the beginning CAD user and move quickly into civil engineering exercises that incorporate Civil 3D sites and parcels presentation modeling corridor design and plan production.</p><p> </p><p>Throughout important commands and buttons associated with the software are presented in bold. Additionally students are provided with step-by-step instructions data sets videos and other active learning exercises to support the learning experience and encourage practical application.</p><p> </p><p>Designed to provide novice CAD students with a complete introduction to three high-end engineering software programs <em>AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorks Basics </em>is ideal for civil engineering students and those interested in cross platform CAD drafting and modeling.</p>
