The Civil 3D software supports a wide range of civil engineering tasks and creates intelligent relationships between objects. The Civil 3D Advanced ‐ Site Grading course is recommended for users that are required to create site grading plans using the Civil 3D software. This course is also ideal for managers that require a basic overview and understanding of this aspect of the Civil 3D software. Students will use feature lines, grading tools, and corridors to create a commercial site containing a parking lot, building pad, pond, and simple sewage lagoon. An existing road has been
included in the survey and a survey team collected the existing conditions. Students will also work on a residential site to grade a small subdivision for proper grading of each lot.
