This introductory Civil 3D book takes you through a complete project, during which 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. Features and Benefits of All Cadapult Books:  Cadapult Software Solutions is an Authorized Autodesk Publisher Lessons build upon one another using a contiguous dataset, providing consistency through the entire book Skills learned through easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedures Sequential exercises that follow one logical, real-world example project Flexible datasets allow you to skip ahead to a relevant lesson, or use as an on-demand reference guide Detailed explanations and chapter summaries facilitate learning and retention Written by instructors with decades of industry and teaching experience Tested and refined in classrooms with a broad cross-section of students

<ul>
<li>Work with global coordinate systems in AutoCAD Map 3D</li> <li>Create and edit mappingspecific geometry</li> <li>Work with attribute data in the form of Object Data and external database links</li> <li>Apply Object Classification to your mapping system</li> <li>Incorporate aerial photos and raster surfaces into your mapping system</li> <li>Import GIS data from other formats into AutoCAD Map 3D</li> <li>Establish and manage a mapping system that uses high-performance technology to access and work with several formats of GIS data</li> <li>Apply effective and impactful styles to your mapping data</li> <li>Establish and work within a system of related drawing-based maps</li> <li>Create, manage, and analyze topologies</li> <li>Create sophisticated map books</li> </ul>
About the Authors This book was written by authors with practical, real world experience, not by academics or programmers. Rick Ellis and Russell Martin understand not only how to teach the software, but also have many years of first-hand experience using the software to complete actual projects. 
Rick Ellis has worked with and taught AutoCAD Map 3D since the mid-90s, along with Civil 3D and other Autodesk products. He is the author of several critically acclaimed books on AutoCAD Map 3D, Civil 3D and Land Desktop. This practical background and approach has earned Rick high ratings as a speaker at Autodesk University, and a spot on the national speaker team for the AUGI CAD Camps. 
Russell Martin is a spatial data consultant who has worked with CAD, GIS and cartographic design software for over 25 years. He has taught AutoCAD and AutoCAD Map 3D one-on-one, in classrooms and at Autodesk University. Russell has co-authored several books on AutoCAD Map 3D, and has served as technical editor of many other books on CAD, mapping and GIS software. 
This completely new, large format book is spiral bound, to lie perfectly flat on your desk. It features nearly 100 exercises organized into 45 lessons in 13 chapters. Each lesson includes detailed descriptions of processes and theory with many illustrations and diagrams, to help you understand why, not just how. 
This book is suitable for anyone from general AutoCAD users to seasoned professionals in the Mapping/GIS, Utilities, Civil Engineering, Surveying, Mining, Planning, Land Development or Resource Management industries. 
Since AutoCAD Map 3D is part of Civil 3D, as well as a stand-alone product, anyone using Civil 3D can benefit from these powerful, yet often overlooked tools already installed on their computer.
