Autodesk Civil 3D 2024 from Start to Finish: Build scalable, real-world infrastructure projects using Civil 3D's full design and modeling toolkit

Excelent book to update your knowledge and Dynamo proficiency. I recommend it. Just be Constant studying this book and you would get results quickly and easily.

it is very good. explains everything .

The book starts out by simply explaining in the first and second chapters the overall user interface, how to set up a new design, and provides a brief overview of all the tools that you will be using and where the most used will be located. They do a great job of explaining the different types of models you will use the most like Survey, Alignment, and Grading models and also what to do with them, how to treat each type and how to share these models with other teammates. The most important chapter to me was Chapter 5 which introduces points and how to import and work with them. This chapter shows the importance of point groups which helps to organize survey points for quick reference. Since Civil 3D is not my most used program out of the large Autodesk library, I had always struggled to understand how to work within this program when I was given the chance to use these files. Figuring out a project's exact geolocation has always been difficult for me due to not having a full understanding of how that process works. I was not aware that the Units flyout had a lot more options than plain, simple AutoCAD. This book has helped explain a lot. Chapter 6 was also my favorite as it shows how to generate 3D surfaces which helps me, being the 3D geek that I am, understand how the survey plan looks since it can be difficult to understand by just viewing the contour lines. Figuring out how to generate these models has always been difficult for me. Luckily, the exercises within the book are clear and concise and walk you through each section step by step helping me generate the model that I required. Now that I have read this book, I have a much stronger understanding of civil 3D and will be ready the next time a civil drawing is sent to me. I now have the knowledge and the ability to work in Civil 3d and can now gather the necessary data for any future civil projects which will ultimately help build my CAD skills and make me a better overall designer. If I ever need to work on a project which contains survey models, this will be my go-to book.

This book is good if you're already familiar with Civil 3D. It's linear, and systematically guides you through a project for which they provide the working files via a website download. I encountered a few minor snags through the first nine chapters but was able to find explanations on YouTube. It became a brick wall in chapter 10 when the steps called out don't give the expected results. Unfortunately, the next steps depend on the previous so you cannot proceed unless/until you're able to fix the problems. At this point, I've had to resort to YouTube enough times to conclude I just don't think this book is worth the money.

I really like how this book is laid out. The structure of topics being introduced and blended with the exercises is great for training flow and working through the various tasks. One good thing about this structure is that you don't have to go back through the book to lookup content if you are in the middle of a training exercise since the content and exercises are blended together. I was initially looking for "exercises" in the table of contents and not having those called out threw me off a bit, but after working through a couple of chapters, I really like the way it flows. The whole chapter is an exercise! This book also addresses various "tool belts" for different types of use, like Land Development, Roadway Modeling, Advanced Roadway Modeling ,and Utility Modeling. I think that this is useful in both a professional training environment as well as an individual doing self-paced training. I also like that the more advanced concepts are called out as such and placed at the end of the book.

This is exactly what I needed in 2012 when I was learning and implementing Civil 3D in our firm. It is well organized and very informative in an easy to follow, design-oriented path. This is really great for beginners and people who are trying to understand how to connect the tools of Civil 3D into workflows that combine to design a project from start to finish. It is also really great for more experienced users to learn new nuggets of knowledge and to evaluate the workflows they have established. Great resource!

Civil 3D can be a difficult program to learn on your own. This guide was written in a way that makes it simple to read and understand. It also has detailed screenshots in color that highlight specific tools outlined in the text. This made it very easy to follow along with the practice files. I highly recommend this over other instructional guides I have read in the past. It is perfect for beginners and advanced users alike.

This book is very good for all levels of expertise with Civil 3D. The attention to detail is very helpful for users with little knowledge of the software and it is also a good resource for experienced users. The book also mentions ways to use Civil 3D with other software packages. I think that this book is useful for self starters and basically anyone that needs to learn or relearn CIVIL 3D.

Just started but first comment is about the title of the book being misleading: It's not about the 2024 version of C3D, screenshots are from 2022 version... I'll admit, not a lot of change from one year to the next, but still. I am a full time user of C3D 2022 and 2023 depending on the project I'm assigned to and was looking foward to deepen my knowledge and learn from new functionalities. I'm sure I will be a better asset for my employer, will update my review after full read about that.

El libro está perfectamente nuevo, su contenido en PDF y los archivos de descarga con los ejercicios se descargaron sin problema, hice una compra genial!!!!
