Corridor Solids for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012

The technology preview Corridor Solids for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 has been available from the Autodesk Labs site. This allows Civil 3D users to create solids from corridor subassembly shapes that will span corridor regions. This is very helpful for better visualization of the 3d nature of corridors and for use in other products (i.e. Navisworks for construction timelining and clash detection).

Be sure to watch the videos on the page to get a good understanding of how to best use this preview.

BE BETTER!!  ...do someone a solid.

Bridge Modeler for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012

Bridge Modeler for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 has now been made available at Autodesk Labs. This is an update to the previously available version for Civil 3D 2011.

I have often benefited from being able to quickly create a 3D bridge with the previous version and am happy that a new version is now available for 2012.

BE BETTER!! ...build bridges.
