We’ve all been working hard here at Engineered Efficiency to bring you useful content related to Civil 3D, including the recent launch of our new service offerings, EE CivilAccess and EE GuidedAccess which both include unlimited instructor-led, hands-on training and the EE ProPack add-on. However, someone who’s been in the industry a very long time and whom I greatly respect suggested I tackle a different bunch of postings: civil engineering basics. I thought it was a great idea and decided to turn this into a regular series of Engineering 101 postings. If you didn’t study civil engineering in school, or if you did, maybe your emphasis was in another engineering discipline (Ceramic Engineering, anyone?), or maybe you just want to brush up on some engineering principals that underlie the use of Civil 3D, this series of posts is for you.
This first in the series covers the basics of calculating runoff using one of the most popular methods, the Rational Method. Maybe you know it better as Q = ciA. Read more after the jump.

Hydraflow Express and Hydraflow Hydrographs are now up on the subscription site. Chuck Lamping was kind enough to remind me via a comment, and Angel has more information, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least mention it in a new article.
Happy Floodplaining! (And other H&H stuff too.)

Ever wonder why the inlet you added in Hydraflow Storm Sewers (HSS) shows up as a Headwall in Civil 3d? Why isn’t my LandXML import as I expected? Mark Scacco’s AU presentation and LandXML hack is a godsend. I at least now can round trip my data and not deal with a plethora of Networks.
But, I have always found LandXML import behavior odd. I had to dig deeper. To find out more, join me after the jump…
