InfraWorks 360 Is the First Step, What’s the Next Step—VDC Modeling Using AutoCAD Civil 3D

Description

Key Learnings

• Learn how to refine existing terrain using huge scan and LiDAR files, and how to add site-specific details from land survey data
• Learn how GIS data representing existing underground utilities will be transformed to 3D using import tools and rule-based criteria
• Learn how updated design is reviewed for optimization and criteria compliance, and see how the model progresses to the next level of development
• Learn how bridge locations are adapted to the detail surface and adapted to closer represent the desired construction

  Lucy Kuhns

  Lucy Kuhns has experience that spans the practices of engineering, architecture, and construction. She began as a mechanical engineer designing and testing helicopters for Hughes Aircraft Company; off-road vehicles for Honda Motor Company, Ltd.; and bi-modal rail equipment for a small startup company. After an off-road vehicle test crash in the California desert, she began exploring and studying civil engineering and architecture. She later moved to New Mexico where she joined a civil engineering/surveying firm and led the company through the early and often painful process of implementing advanced technologies. She states, 'We worked smarter with fewer people and spent a fortune on new technology, and we competed with the big guys—and often won!' It was a natural progression for her to move into software applications engineering, training, and support in early 2001. She now works with the Autodesk, Inc., team of product support specialists offering Enterprise Support Solutions for the infrastructure industry.
