PiTStop: 3ds Max Design: Using Civil View to work with a Civil 3D Model

  

About this Course

This 3ds Max Design training class will cover how to produce visualizations of civil engineering projects created in AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013 or 2012 software, using either Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2013 or 2012 software and the Civil View feature set.

After taking this class, attendees will understand how to create high-quality visualizations as an integral part of the civil design process, allowing 3ds Max Design models to evolve in tandem with design models created in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Additionally, students will learn how to reduce the complexity and amount of time required to generate graphics traditionally created by dedicated visualization experts. The resulting imagery allows the display of projects for public consultation and design validation. 

Finally, this class will review how to use visualization to help improve the quality of designs in general and to help evaluate the environmental and visual impact of projects.
