I received this in email tonight as a forward from Chuck Lamping - it cracked me up. I’ll admit not having thought of this, and have to give kudos to anyone who could - way to go, Chuck!

Thanks for joining me today! If you missed today’s session on the ProPack and Large Surfaces- fear not! The recording has been posted!
Civil 3D 2009 Large Surfaces EECast 5-7-2008
This week’s session included an introduction to the EEProPack, and some detailed demonstrations of surface building using GIS Data.
Dana built a surface from a DEM file, performed a Map Query to facilitate building a surface from LIDAR contours, built a surface from an external point file, build a surface from aerial topography data, and point out a few of the new large surface handling features in Civil 3D 2009.
Get the link to the recording after the jump.

Next Wednesday, May 7, 2008, I will be hosting our first ever 1 hour lunchtime EECast! I’d like to make this a regular thing, but I can only make that happen if you SIGN UP and SPREAD THE WORD! This is a great way to help me get to know you, show you live demonstrations of key Civil 3D skills, and introduce you to Engineered Efficiency.
This week’s session will feature Civil 3D news, an introduction to the EEProPack, and some detailed demonstrations of surface building in Civil 3D 2009 using GIS Data, such as DEMs, LIDAR contours, and LIDAR points. The session will be recorded, and I will post the link shortly after the session is over.

One of the things I wanted to show my GIS class the other day was building a Civil 3D surface from a DEM file. There are a few ways to use DEMs in Civil 3D. In addition to building surfaces, you can also use the Map FDO to bring in the DEM and do some neat hillshading and styling. I’ll do that sometime soon.
I’ve created another short video, and this time I narrated it! The video shows the Mastering Civil 3D Chapter 5 page 123 exercise on creating a surface from a DEM.
Find the video after the jump- and let me know how you like this format. (*** if you can’t get the video to play, I might have reached my jing bandwidth limit. I am working on an easy way to get video out to the masses so stay tuned!***)

The other day I taught a short (ahem, too short!) class at the DE GIS conference. One of the things that we talked about was building a Civil 3D Surface from LIDAR contours. If a picture is worth 1000 words, a film is worth 1,000,000, so I made a short video using jing.
Read on to see the video and learn more. (*** if you can’t get the video to play, I might have reached my jing bandwidth limit. I am working on an easy way to get video out to the masses so stay tuned!***)

I was testing something for Dana today and ran into an unexpected event with Civil 3D 2009, and thought that I should let users know about it so they won’t be surprised. I have confirmed that it is a known issue, but definitely not a show stopper.

With Civil 3D 2009, there are a lot of small things that make me happy. There are quite a few tweaks to styles dialogs, user options and command prompts that don’t seem like much but really make a difference.
Read on to see one I am working with today…

To better serve our clients, the team at Engineered Efficiency is always investigating new solutions to make your life easier. Sometimes this means that we will find a piece of software that we recommend to users. Other times, we come across something so great that we don’t just recommend it to our users, we supply it to them.
What if I were to tell the surveyors out there that there was data collection software that got rid of the whole “how do I code” discussion once and for all? What if field coding beyond descriptions were a thing of the past? What if you could export a FBK file directly out of your data collector? Would you want to know more? If you’re intrigued, click the link to find out what all the fuss is about. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings from my new position at Engineered Efficiency! I’m glad the folks here have let me join the party and I hope you’ll find my posts to be up to par with the high quality of past EE posts.
On to the subject at hand…
As you probably know, the ability to assign elevations from a surface to a feature line has been in Civil 3D for some time. A big wish list item of mine has always been for that to be a dynamic relationship. In other words, once the feature line gets its elevations from a surface, it would be nice if it would update those elevations to match any changes to the surface. Well in Civil 3D 2009 ?!?!…..
