Course Description

The Grading Optimization tool in AutoCAD Civil 3D is the biggest change to the grading process since the advent of Corridors. Grading Optimization allows you to define grading areas for items like zones, curbs, ramps, low points, parking lots, etc., using simple polylines. From there, AutoCAD Civil 3D handles the entire site grading process for you, even incorporating site cut/fill balancing, to provide you with the most efficient grading possible, all without you defining slopes, breaklines, and all the other controls you've manually put in for so many years.
This course is delivered in four (4) sessions.
