No EECast This Week

On January 5, 2009, in civil3d.com, by James Wedding, P.E.

Just like you, we’re getting buried this morning as people get bck to work. We’ll be starting up next week with the ongoing series of EECasts on C3D subjects far and wide. If you have a topic you’d like to see us discuss throw it in the comments below. We’ve got some already on the burner:

Laying out and Labeling Parcels
Intersection Design (yes, it would be a repeat, but it’s a popular recording, so….)
Grading with Feature Lines

What’s on your wish list?
