Transparent Commands in Civil 3D
Transparent Commands in Civil 3D
10/15/2020
Autodesk's Jeff Bartels walks though a review of the important and powerful Transparent Command functionality in Civil 3D.
This video is part of the 30-Minute Workout series on the Civil Immersion site.
See the Jeff Bartels YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
Jeff covers and demos how the Civil 3D Transparent commands work.
He shows most of the examples with AutoCAD primitives not Civil 3D Features. Call that a regrettable AutoCAD first bias.
The effective use of Transparent commands in Civil 3D save those who employ them well hours and hours a month in production use.
This is a mission critical Civil 3D skill set.
What Design Center Does
What Design Center Does

Autodesk's Jerry Bartels delivers an exploration and detailed review of Design Center functionality in AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
This video is part of the 30-Minute Workout series on the Civil Immersion site.

and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
Design Center is a great Standards development tool and implementation device. DC can create standards consistency nightmares.
Understanding how to employ Design Center to search for a find what we need within a set of standards library resources is an important user skill.
I bet you didn't know that Autodesk has continued to add new functionality to Design Center that you can see here.
Subdivision Grading with Corridors
Subdivision Grading with Corridors
10/1/2020
Jim Coppinger of ZenTek Consultants explains how to inventively employ some Civil 3D techniques to employ Corridors and Gradings in Subdivision grading design.
From the ZenTek Consultants YouTube Channel.
Comments
If you understand and employ Feature Line based Gradings in Civil 3D, Jim's technique to employ Corridor geometry Feature Line output will be easy to understand.
The Frequencies employed in the Corridor Regions do have a direct effect on the detail in the Extracted Feature Line(s).
Yes. You may want the Datum of the Corridor cross section and a Feature Line specific to that for a grading surface.
Recognize that these days the Corridor and dynamic Extracted Feature Line can be from a Data Reference (DREF) Corridor source.
I tend to prefer a Multiple Baseline Corridors approach with grading Assemblies to accomplish more with the Corridor.
That is usually easier to manage in the long run considering all the potential complex design control in a Subdivision project in Civil 3D.
