LOT102 Using AutoCAD Fields to Label Civil 3D Features
If you’re not inclined to use parcels or parcel labels in Civil 3D, you can use Fields to label objects, including areas, bearings, and distances.
LOT101 Parcel Layout around a cul-de-sac (automatic layout)
The automatic parcel creation tools are powerful, but they may not work as you would anticipate. This video walks through the process of laying out lots around the cul-de-sac shown in the video above. In the end, the results may surprise you.
LOT100 Parcel Layout around a cul-de-sac (manual layout)
Civil 3D has a full set of automatic parcel layout tools, but you’ll find they are limited in the way in which they navigate around a building line at a cul-de-sac (or other concave arcs). This tutorial walks through the process of laying out parcels around a cul-de-sac using “old school” methods. The tools are quick, and strong, but because the methodology explained is centered around COGO, this procedure is accurate and can be practiced in AutoCAD LT, AutoCAD, or AutoCAD^® Civil 3D^®.
