Tomorrow, I will be doing an EECast on Building Better Terrain models.
I put this class together a few years ago to help new designers figure out how surfaces work, and I found that the room was often crowded with not only the new staff, but everyone! If you have ever wondered what REALLY happens with triangulation, or what difference do breaklines REALLY make, be sure to tune in. Note that I will be using Civil 3D 2009 to build the models, but the surface building theory will apply no matter what software you use.
Also note that Mark Scacco will be leading off the webcast with some additional news about Land Desktop being discontinued, the new product mix, and how EE can help.
Learn how to sign up and see the agenda after the jump.

Starting next month, you’ll be able to pick from two flavors of civil engineering design software from Autodesk: AutoCAD Civil, and AutoCAD Civil 3D. They’re the same engine but different target users. Designers and drafters will want to look at Civil, Engineers and analysts should look at Civil 3D. The big difference will be that Civil 3D will include the underlying AutoCAD Map engine, and will run extensions such as Hyrdaflow going into the future. We’ll talk about this more during tomorrow’s EECast, be sure to register and come learn more about this big switch.
Long story short, the upgrade and jump to a model based design just got easier, and cheaper. Call EE today if you want to discuss how we can move your firm to this great new mix of product.

The king is dead! Long live the king!
Well, we all expected it would happen some day and we now know for sure. Land Desktop 2009 and Land Desktop Companion 2009 will be the last versions of the venerable Autodesk civil application. Read more after the jump.
