This introductory Civil 3D book takes you through a complete project.

You will learn the best procedures for many common tasks,
including working with:

Styles GIS Data Raster Images Points Surfaces Parcels

Alignment Profiles Corridors Sections Grading Volumes

One of the most important features in Civil 3D is Styles. Styles control the display, labeling, and in some cases the geometric properties of Civil 3D objects. This book exposes you to many different object and label styles as you work through the project, teaching you the concepts within the context of an ordinary workflow.

Since many of you are transitioning from Land Desktop, many tips are included to make this process easier.

This book is 356 pages long, organized into 9 chapters.
