Shortcuts & Civil 3d Project Templates
There was an interesting question on the one of the Civil 3d groups on LinkedIn that asked about the _Sample Project directory structure that installs with Civil 3d. Do I have to use those folders? Do I need to use these folders to store my project files? Is there any disadvantage to using a different [...]
Hydraflow Storm Sewer and Hydrographs
Last week, I tweeted about needing Hydraflow Storm Sewer STM files for some testing. While I have received some files at this time, I would love to get some more. [See bottom of post] However, I am writing this post more to share something nice about the STM (Storm Sewer) and GPW (Hydrograph) files and [...]
General Line Label – Ideas

Recent Documents Sorting

AUv Wrap up: The EXPRESSway to Hydraulic Analysis
During the AUv 2009 live Question and Answer portion, a very observant Shane Matt noticed my inlet calculation had an anomaly. He asked:
How can you fit 4.36 sq feet of grate area in a 2’x2’ [grate inlet] (4 sq. ft.)?
Well, you can’t exactly. But the answer Hydraflow Express provides are two different calculations solving for [...]
