Project 1

Aim: To create a surface, alignment, view frames and quantity of a road resurfacing project using civil 3D software.

Procedure followed to achieve the aim of the challenge :

1. Create a Civil 3D file using the template company xyz template and name it SURVRD01.dwg to create surface.

2. Import the surface data and create the surface the using the surface creation tools.

3. Define the boundary of the surface while creating the surface.

4. Set the working folder and assign the drawing to the working folder , create the shortcuts folder and create the data shortcut of the surface.

5. Create a new Civil 3D file and name it ALIGNRD01.dwg and using the data shortcuts import the surface created.

6. Using alignment creation tools start creating the alignment.

7. Start using the tangents over the center line of the road and insert the curves using the desired radius inputs with necessary transitions.

8. Use the design criteria for designing the alignment as per the Standards required.

9. Once alignment is completed. create offset alignments as per the typical cross section given.

10. Now apply the super elevation for the alignment created for emax of 5% and apply the SE.

11. Create New File and data shortcut the plan and create a new plan set.

12. Name it Plan dual and Create new layout with 50 scale.

13. In the sheet set properties, add the details needed for the plan. .dst file is created.

14. Now create the view frames in the File CLIPRD01.dwg , in the view frames select the alignment and plan dual 50 scale , create a view frame group.

15. Create a new file PLANDRD01.dwg data shortcuts the alignment, View frames, create the sheets > All the layouts.

16. Drag all the layout into the Roadway plan subset. Attach the Aerial01.dwg containing the aerial images using the X.ref and send them back in the model.

17. Open the QTO manager and create the pay items given in the bid documents.

18. Create pay items and assign the pay items to the plan areas as required in the plan.

19. Create a layout for the summary of quantities and drag the quantity summary layout into the roadway plan subset and publish entire plan set.

20. Enter all the quantities in the bid documents.
