Customization of Grading Designs

Grading is a heavy topic as it involves generating existing conditions and verifying the accuracy for which the entire design will be based upon, as well as leveraging those existing conditions to minimize the amount of earthwork needed and balancing that with a successful design. In our previous book, we delve into all things grading and topography, from existing conditions to proposed gradings, and the many workflows for generating the successful design that our project needs.

Autodesk Civil 3D 2025 Unleashed will begin with the existing conditions of a project site and will also take a look at some of the advanced functionality of Civil 3D. Civil 3D can utilize existing surface data from numerous sources, whether basic survey points from traditional surveying methods, elevation files from previous data captures, or even LiDAR data captures. LiDAR is short for Light Detection and Ranging and is a form of a growing industry known as reality capture...
