Grading optimization civil 3d

Civil 3D 2022 comes with a powerful new functionality for AEC Collection subscribers, the Grading Optimization tool for Civil 3D. This tool is designed to automatically create grading surfaces with design input. You can find this download in your portal at manage.autodesk.com as a separate installation from Civil 3D. In this article I will attempt to show what the Grading Optimization tool is capable of.Selecting Topography for Grading Optimization When using the grading optimization tool, you will need an existing topography to build on and as such, this is the first step to using the tool. Afterwards, with either vanilla AutoCAD or Civil 3D items, draw basic information about the grading. For instance, you could draw the outline of the grading area with a polyline, or you could draw a point or COGO point to denote a low point of your optimization. Figure 1 below displays a simple example.Figure 1. Simple Grading Exercise As you can see above, there is an existing topography I will use to grade towards and then there are some simple AutoCAD objects. There are two rectangles that will denote two different zones with different grading criteria, and then there is a polyline that is bisecting the inner rectangle. This line will be used to denote a drain line. In other words, I will tell it to grade in such a way that has a direction that follows the line.Converting to Grading Optimization ObjectsFigure 2. Tool Palette To convert these objects into Grading Optimization objects, you

Your criteria from the Grading Object Browser and try again. Otherwise, if you are satisfied with the optimization you can Stop it and send the resulting surface to C3D as its own TIN Surface. To do so, click the button “Send Optimized Result” and the Grading Optimization window will close. In Civil 3D, you should see a new window appear.Save Grading Optimization ResultFigure 7. Save Optimization ResultFrom our example we can create a surface and some feature lines. If we had any points (like a Low Point) we could also create a COGO point in our model. To create the surface, ensure that the Surface “switch” is turned on and be sure to select a name and style the surface will take on. Below is our resulting surface.Figure 8. Resulting SurfaceNote: It does not add an outer boundary but instead combines our existing topography with our grading optimization. You can always add the boundary yourself by editing the surfaceThe automation of design criteria is a great tool that can be used as a preliminary source to use as a base for your grading design. You can download the Grading Optimization tool from manage.autodesk.com. Let us know if this helps or if you have any comments.

Autodesk Vehicle Tracking is much more than just vehicle swept path analysis. Come join us in this hands-on lab to find out for yourself how Vehicle Tracking in Civil 3D and InfraWorks can improve your project decision making. Vehicle Tracking allows even beginner users to make educated decisions concerning their individual projects. During this lab, we'll explore all the functions of Vehicle Tracking and design the following: starting a project in InfraWorks and then importing it into Vehicle Tracking to design a parking lot ; ensure our project design meets city standards; utilize the Vehicle Tracking information for detailed grading design; create a roundabout within the project; and much, much more. After this hands-on lab, you will have gained new skills that you can take back to the office and show others the many different ways to use Vehicle Tracking software, Civil 3D and InfraWorks. This session features Vehicle Tracking, AutoCAD Civil 3D and InfraWorksDiscover and understand Vehicle Tracking software inside Civil 3D andInfraWorks.Learn how to create swept path analysis in Vehicle TrackingLearn how to design parking lots that work in Civil 3D with Vehicle TrackingLearn how to create detailed 3D roundabouts in Vehicle Tracking and Civil 3D.
