People have been bugging me for quite a while to collect recorded Civil 3D training gems. Yes. There’s already one of the largest collections of free Civil 3D video training available here. No one does everything. No one knows everything either. There’s never enough time. Frankly, I get tired of talking to the wall too. Surprise. I, like you, must also study…

That new relativity changed how we think about Everything. That changed What and How we do many things…even reading this blog post.
Certainly, the storm surges from storms like Sandy and her topical cousins will continue…

Just about a year ago I wrote a post called Point Dreams in the Annotative View Space which dealt with some of the issues we all have with AutoCAD Civil 3D Point Features. There are lots of posts here about the Points beast for a host of reasons – mostly customer…
