Site grading has always presented designers and drafters with a host of problems and even more methods to solve them. With Civil 3D 2022’s release of the new tool Grading Optimization, we should take a moment to not only explore which options are available to us inside Civil 3D, but which ones we should focus on.
In this hour-long webinar, we’ll look at tools native to Civil 3D as well as the add-on tools from CTC software, the CIM Project Suite. After reviewing what good options remain, workflows will be presented to suggest ways to use Grading Optimization, Feature Lines and Auto Grader from the CIM Project Suite.
Learning Objectives
- Explore the new interface elements of Civil 3D 2022 for Grading Optimization to begin leveraging the power of iterative grading design
- Utilize Zones to organize a site and define key slope parameters within Grading Optimization
- Harness the “classic” power of Feature Lines to design key site features
- Use Auto Grader from the CTC CIM Project Suite to concurrently automate “stepped offsets” and add breaklines to your TIN Surfaces
