    Description

    It can be a challenge to manage project files across a large team. Knowing what to put in each drawing can be tricky, especially when considering newer users who can become overwhelmed by complex drawings. In this class, we'll address these issues and solve them with an innovate file structure. We'll show the concept of "incremental" design files that allow many project members to work on simple drawings simultaneously. This isn't your normal divide-and-conquer method. We'll show how this enables new team members to learn on simpler and less intimidating files, preventing delay to the larger design. So, if you still put large amounts of data in a single drawing—such as all the corridors, grading, and finished grade—or all pipe networks in a single file, this class is for you. We'll show innovative ways to use data shortcuts and xrefs that can help a multiperson team work more efficiently. Join us to learn tried and true techniques for everyday Civil 3D projects.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to best organize file structures for large, complex projects.
    • Learn about facilitating effective collaboration between team members, allowing everyone to access portions of the design at once.
    • Learn how to design easy-to-understand files for new Civil 3D users and offer low risk for when something goes wrong with the file.
