AUGI CAD Matinee in Philadelphia Update

Posted by Dana Breig Probert, EIT on 3rd April 2007

They’ve finalized the Agenda for Cadapult’s CAD Matinee in Philadelphia! 

Radisson Plaza - Warwick Hotel
1701 Locust Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103

May 17, 2007

There will be AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit and MEP Classes, so bring the whole office.

I’m teaching two Civil 3D 2008 based classes. 

I’ve updated and improved my Civil 3D for Stormwater Tasks class to take advantage new Civil 3D 2008 tools- such as pipe tables, surface feature extraction and more. 

I’ll also be doing a class on parceling a subdivision- think of it as “Parcel Rules and the Art of the Span, Live”

Register today! Hope to see you there!

Creating an Interference Check

Posted by Dana Breig Probert, EIT on 3rd April 2007

Interference checks came around in Civil 3D 2007 and they are still alive in almost identical form in Civil 3D 2008.  I find that they are quite underused by my clients (ok, and me too) but they are really pretty easy to setup and very powerful.

You might be interested in finding the true physical collisions between pipes and structures from two different networks, or perhaps you need to make sure that your sanitary network and your water network always remain 3′ away from each other in any direction.
