Course Overview
Building on material learned in Surveying CAD 1 and CAD 2 (presented in year 1), this course introduces an object based CAD drawing environment with an emphasis on AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Topics include; creating and labelling objects, point and label styles, importing field data, survey database, adjusting traverse data, analyzing control network data to detect and remove blunders, creation and editing of surfaces, horizontal and vertical alignments, design templates (assemblies), and parcels. Through practical labs the student will gain a solid background in designing simple roads, preparing accurate terrain models, and produce earthwork volumes and reports.
