Import Civil 3D Design Components Into InfraWorks
Import Autodesk SDF Files When importing Land Coverage Areas, best practice is to import SDF files as Coverage Areas and apply a rendering style (Rule Style) to each particular component that best represents the feature. Under the Source Tab, make sure that the Drape option is selected and the ‘Convert closed polylines to polygons’ box…

Export Civil 3D Components to be Imported into InfraWorks
There’s obviously many ways to export your Civil 3D components and bring them into your InfraWorks model. As a personal preference, I like to extract my site components individually. Although a little more time is spent up front exporting these components, it can, and will, save you time down the road as you further develop…

Leveraging InfraWorks and Stingray for Interdisciplinary Checks and Reviews
If you’re like me, it seems like all the cool new design and review programs that have been released over the past several years have been more focused on the building/structure side of the business. Sure, Autodesk had released InfraWorks for us Civil folks, and have put in a lot of effort into further developing…

An Approach for Dynamically Linking Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs
Have you ever wanted to automate, or dynamically link, your Erosion and Sediment Control symbology to storm drainage and/or grading design features in AutoCAD® Civil 3D®? By thinking outside the box a little, you will realize that there are quite a few different ways to achieve this. In my experience, I have found that the…

Leveraging the Use of Profile Banding
In my design experience, I very rarely had to create custom plan and profile construction drawings. The majority of the utility projects I have designed required a very simple and straightforward plan and profile configuration where profiles contained your basic information: Grade Lines Utility Designs Station and Elevation Profile Band Necessary callouts required to more…

Incorporating Dynamic Blocks to Generate More Accurate Civil 3D Models
Figure 1: Exaggerated fence layout In order for us to fully embrace the 3D environment, we need to completely change our way of thinking and designing. We continue to rely on custom linetypes to represent a lot of our site features being displaying on our plans. By creating 3D elements in AutoCAD and converting to…

Can CIM Be Done in Civil 3D?
We’ve all heard the term Building Information Modeling (BIM) being thrown around for quite some time now. In general, BIM is the process typically applied to and associated with intelligently and dynamically designing an actual building or structure, where architects/engineers and designers can visualize and anticipate the true constructability of a project. On the civil…
