Summary
As covered in this chapter, there are many things to consider when setting up your project to ensure that it can be properly managed throughout the design phase. Depending on the size of your design team and project scope, proper file organization and referencing procedures/workflows can be critical to maintaining high levels of design and collaboration efficiency.
In this chapter, we learned how Civil 3D allows for more efficient file management for not only saving space and maintaining maneuverability within drawings but also allowing teams to collaborate easier between phases of a project, as well as working simultaneously together. This can be crucial in today’s real world of increasingly complex design projects.
The majority of Civil 3D design projects today will require creating and managing multiple data shortcuts with multiple external references, and this up-front management strategy can save hours and days for your team as work is coming in and the project...
