Create 2D Plans from 3D Geometry in a Civil Workflow

17 February 2015 – 1:00 pm EST
Virtual Classroom, United States
Instructor: David Mayer

This civil session lets you master many of the workflows used to produce basic 3D models comprised of solids, surfaces and meshes. Discover basic 3D navigation and create 2D plans from those models. Develop your 3D skills by creating a basic pier cap, foundation and other components to create a preliminary bridge design. You will develop 2D plan sets and their details from the 3D model. You will place callouts on the 3D model making it more reliable, effective, and valuable providing a clearer picture of the design.
