Learn everything a Site Engineer needs to know about Civil 3D. We start at the basics from general settings and commands and gradually build up to working at an advanced level. You will learn how to bring in and export your surveys and use that data to produce professional 3D models and drawings. You will receive 3 months free 'Community' SOFC membership and you will be issued with a CITB certificate on completion of this course.
