In the previous two chapters, we had an opportunity to unwrap all of the roadway modeling-focused tools available to us within Civil 3D, while also learning some very practical applications of how we can utilize them to further progress on our residential subdivision design. Not only did we learn how to use these particular tools to create design objects within Civil 3D, but we also continued to understand how best to manage these objects and the significance each one provides to the overall design.

In this chapter, we’ll start off by combining and refining our proposed Surface model a little more by utilizing our surface analysis tools and utilize our land development tool belt to ensure that we have proper site drainage throughout our residential subdivision design. Once we are able to locate high and low elevations throughout our residential subdivision design, we’ll then be able to properly locate our storm drainage inlets...
