The goal to significantly reduce those considerable man-hours we invest in the common Civil 3D civil engineering grading problems and tasks is certainly is worthy of pursuit. It is what we do. The work pays or it doesn’t. The boss knows that and demands the work had better pay.
Autodesk is working hard at the faster, better, grading challenges on a number of simultaneous…

The new Framework for Civil 3D 2021 products officially hit the street today. Hooray! The latest Jump Kit Release 8 for Civil 3D 2021 includes huge new libraries of well-crafted, integrated, and managed Civil 3D content resources. Why do that? That does not seem to be the most important question today.
The daily, practical Civil 3D working project issues…

The Framework for Civil 3D is all about the reduction of the many manhours spent to get Civil 3D to function as advertised in production Civil 3D project environments. The Autodesk Civil 3D software we employ every day is only as capable as the content tools we have and then must maintain. Now that’s a bit crazy.
The Framework for Civil 3D is all about the…

The work on latest Release 8 of the Framework for Civil 3D 2021 seems to me to be a bit like our never-ending California Covid lock down. There were a bunch of silly stages all with hosts of picky and well-integrated details unlike the lock down rules in the Leaden State. Hopefully, our customers will never have to ever worry about that pile of codes ever again.
Our Framework…

At times I joke a bit about the Feature Lines Only design crowd in Civil 3D. I do this to contrast classic and manual Feature Line construction and manipulation methods with the advantages of managed Corridor Design methodologies that can produce multiple and controlled Feature Lines on demand. This is not a binary choice. Obviously, civil engineering folks need…
