2024 Virtual Classroom – Fast Track to Civil Suite Recordings

The webinar introduces Carlson Civil Suite and CAD Net, detailing its modules like survey, civil hydrology, and GIS. It focuses on Carlson 2024 and Atellica 11.1, highlighting issues with GIS 2024’s shape file imports. The presenter discusses software navigation, drawing functionalities, and the importance of CFG files for backups. Future updates are mentioned, along with GIS file management and querying capabilities for enhanced data analysis.

The session provides a comprehensive overview of field to finish processes in surveying and point processing. It covers creating and editing FLD files, drawing points in 2D and 3D, and managing layers based on entity types. Attendees learn about distance measurements, labeling lots, and managing deed files. The discussion also includes future plans for transitioning to 3D polylines and site grading projects.

The session covers essential tools and techniques for site grading and design. It starts with an introduction to Carlson’s WA net feature and managing subdivided lots. The design process is explained, including building placement and network settings. Various methods for site grading projects are discussed, such as slope inputs, reference points, and volume calculations. The session concludes with a summary and a preview of future topics.

The session covers essential techniques for road design using specialized software. It starts with curb design using the offset 3D command and progresses to road network design, focusing on access roads and center lines. Participants address GIS software updates, Mtext editing issues, and troubleshooting. Key features like the profile editor and Roadnet’s automatic updates are highlighted, along with the importance of accurate ground surfaces and template builders for effective design.

The session explores road network design, focusing on center lines, profiles, and the dynamic nature of the design process. It demonstrates editing grading profiles and modifying intersections and cul-de-sacs. The importance of generating reports and managing input data files is highlighted, along with 3D surface visualization techniques. Additionally, it covers CAD operations, including importing PDFs, digitizing images, and understanding raster versus vector files, while addressing future training opportunities.
