Civil 3D is a 5-week course for civil engineers, surveyors, and drafters who need to model and manage civil infrastructure projects using Autodesk Civil 3D. The course begins with the fundamentals of the Civil 3D workspace and project setup, giving you a solid foundation before moving into surface modeling, where you will import survey points and build, edit, and analyze existing ground surfaces. From there, you will learn to create horizontal alignments and design vertical profiles, the backbone of any road, drainage, or site design project. Corridor modeling is covered next, including assembly setup and editing corridor sections to reflect real-world design constraints. The course finishes with grading and quantities, where you will apply grading tools to shape sites and generate quantity takeoffs directly from your model, saving significant time compared to manual calculation. Throughout, the emphasis is on practical, production-ready workflows rather than abstract theory, so you leave able to apply Civil 3D immediately to survey, road, and site development projects. Delivered online for flexible, self-paced learning alongside full-time work.
