To serve as a detailed introduction into the operational aspects of Civil 3D, processing data and building a Civil 3D Object. The Civil 3D Surface Object is in many ways the easiest object in the program to grasp and to master, as it is readily created and displayed, and is managed by only a single Style in Civil 3D - a Surface Style.
The tutorial sample data is available from autodesk.com. You need that sample data to use most of the tutorials. (You can work through the Building A Map tutorial using a simulation, which does not require sample data.) Download the zip file for each tutorial you plan to use, and extract it into a subfolder in the Program FilesAutoCAD Map 3D 2017 folder.
To use the sample data
- Download the zip file containing the data for each tutorials you plan to do from http://www.autodesk.com/map3d-documentation.
- In the Program FilesAutoCAD Map 3D 2017 folder, create a Map 3D Tutorials folder.
- Under the Map 3D Tutorials folder, create a subfolder for each tutorial you plan to do.
- Extract the zip file for each tutorial into its subfolder.
