In Part 1, Getting Acquainted with Civil 3D and Starting Your Next Project Up for Success, we gained some insight and understanding of how Civil 3D operates as we discussed many of the foundational settings, configurations, and workflows necessary to begin a design project within the Civil 3D environment.

In Part 2, Designing and Modeling with Civil 3D from Start to Finish, we learned how properly setting up a survey model from the get-go is critical to running a smooth design. We’ve also gained some insight into how surfaces, alignments, and profiles are all tied to each other dynamically and are the core ideas required to progress into our residential subdivision design moving forward.

In this chapter, we’ll continue to progress through our residential subdivision design while also gaining additional insight and understanding of which other tools are available inside of Civil 3D and how we can leverage all while maintaining...
