AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 offers an innovative blend of core civil engineering concepts and thorough Autodesk Civil 3D instruction. It moves beyond a how-to manual, to explain why the software produces specific results and how it can be used to solve specific civil engineering problems. Flexible in design, the book begins with an overview of the software and its interface, introduces a comprehensive design project and then covers advanced usage of each of the software's capabilities. Ideal for both lecture and lab, the text uses screen shots, dialogue boxes, CAD images, and digital AutoCAD files to introduce the procedures and applications of Autodesk Civil 3D.
Features:
- Two-part chapter format teaches engineering theories and computational methods before proceeding to Civil 3D software applications, usage, and capabilities.
- Begins with an introductory Civil 3D design project to provide students with a Quick Start.
- Offers step-by-step instructions and hands-on procedures throughout the text.
- Emphasizes appropriate theories, formulas, algorithms and computational methods in the first half of each chapter.
- Discusses how to use the software to solve specific civil engineering problems in the second half of each chapter.
- Emphasizes civil engineering concepts within the context of the Autodesk Civil 3D software.
- Helps users understand the formula behind the automation, giving them a depth of knowledge that makes them more efficient and effective on the job.
- Shows how to use the software and the specific features and commands of the program.
- Shows how to maximize the software's capabilities to solve specific civil engineering problems.
