Hey, maybe the Autodesk Civil development team knew something before we did? If you have to work from home for the next month, Civil 3D Collaboration for BIM 360 Design may suddenly make a lot more sense. This may not happen in your corner of Civil 3D Land this week, but it might sooner rather than later.
I’m pretty sure I’ve already seen Autodesk will help you work…

A recent Framework for Civil 3D customer posed a fascinating question this week.
“You’re the Civil 3D wizard.
What are a couple of things that Civil 3D does that people completely miss?”Perhaps flattery works.
A Sweaty Summer School for Civil 3D
Here’s a written summary of my more than you ever wanted to know answer…
