Familiarizing ourselves with Subassembly Composer

As we’ll quickly find out later in this section, Autodesk Civil 3D Subassembly Composer has five distinct windows, each serving a specific purpose:

Tool Box: This area acts as a repository for the elements essential for constructing the subassembly. It is organized into five sections: Geometry, Advanced Geometry, Auxiliary, Workflow, and Miscellaneous. To incorporate any of these elements into the subassembly, a simple drag-and-drop action from Tool Box to the Flowchart panel will suffice (refer to Figure 9.2).

Figure 9.2 – Tool Box area

Flowchart: This panel serves as the space for constructing and arranging the subassembly logic and elements. Whether it’s straightforward linear logic or a complex tree of branching decisions, the process always commences at the Start element. In case of issues with the subassembly, a small red circle with an exclamation point...
