9 Preface AutoCAD Civil 3D supports a wide range of civil engineering tasks and creates intelligent relationships between objects. In this interactive two day class you will learn how to use the AutoCAD Civil 3D software while at the same time working directly with a dynamic 3D model. You will use the new feature lines and grading tools to create a commercial site containing a parking lot, building pad, and a pond. The major topics covered in the Student Guide are: The AutoCAD Civil 3D Environment Toolspace Settings and Defaults Object Styles Build and Edit Surfaces Sharing AutoCAD Civil 3D Objects Building Pad Design Parking Lot Design Pond Design Lagoon Design Combining Surfaces v
