AutoCAD® Civil 3D® and Autodesk® 3ds Max Design®: Civil View for All #AU2012

Here is my Autodesk University 2012 class on AutoCAD® Civil 3D® and Autodesk® 3ds Max Design®: Civil View for All.

CI2543-L Handout Civil View

CI2543-L Presentation Civil View

CI2543-L Civil View For All Dataset

Description

In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to export AutoCAD Civil 3D data into Civil View in Autodesk 3ds 
Max Design software (formerly Dynamite VSP). Step-by-step, you will learn how to create a simple Civil 
3D profile, assembly, and corridor. You will export the Civil 3D software corridor data to a VSP3D file 
format and quickly import the corridor data into Autodesk 3ds Max Design using the Civil View plug-in. 
You will learn how to modify the corridor and create items such as street furniture, vehicles, and trees 
using Civil View. You will also learn how to set up a daylight system and cameras to create still 
renderings and video animations.


Key Learnings
  • At the end of this class, you will be able to:
  • Create a simple Civil 3D Corridor.
  • Export Civil 3D data to use in 3DS Max/Civil View
  • Place street furniture such as lights, cameras, guard rails, trees and cars.
  • Create a scene with still renderings and video animations.

Autodesk University 2012 Class Handouts!

I create CDs that resemble vinyl albums with my Autodesk® Civil 3D® 3D Studio Max Design®: Civil View For All class handouts and datasets. They were a hit!
