Time of Concentration Examples
A couple of nice thunderstorms roamed into town this evening sending my kids onto the front porch with their friends. The rain came down are a pretty good clip. Since I left my LIDAR data at the office tonight, I can’t show you everything I wanted too. About 15 minutes after the rain came hot [...]
Smaller, Faster 2011
I love Twitter! It makes information travel fast, like this little tidbit from the AEC Dev Days currently underway out East being attended by @LouisaHolland and @Civil3dReminders.
I love the 64bit version of Civil 3d, but the developers and team, including the venerable Mr. Peter Funk, squeezed performance out of AutoCAD Civil 3d 2011 to [...]
Import Layer Filter
Just a note for those who use Layer Filters to help organize layers. AutoCAD Civil 3d doesn’t automatically load the file, but it is easy to fix.

The addition of the the former BOSS StormNET makes a wonderful addition to the Autodesk product line. I look forward to the remaining BOSS programs purchased by Autodesk being folded into the [...]
Hydraflow Cost Reports
A number of years ago I scolded our estimator while he was counting manholes and summing the total length of pipes based on the diameter of the pipe shown paper plots for a complex subdivision. At the time, I had just completed the hydrology and hydraulic calculations using an earlier version of Hydraflow Storm Sewer. [...]
Tweak the template two!
Yesterday, I cover the first half of the New Feature Changes to the template here. Here is the rest of the list of tweaks to review today;
Time to tweak the template
AutoCAD Civil 3d 2011 is now out in the wild after Autodesk released it to subscription customers on the subscription website. In many cases, most people will either use the OOTB templates, and other may take their 2010 templates, open it with 2011 and perform a Save as.. and save the template as the 2011 [...]
To Grade a Sewer!
I tried to plant the seed a couple of years ago while at CAD Camp, but they didn’t bite. I will need to write this up in a little more detail, but again, want to just plant the seed.
