While popping through Google Earth today, I noticed a familiar site had a new image. If you’ve worked through Mastering at all, here’s a new view of the subdivision that serves as your sample data set.
Oh, and I’m testing a new blogging app, so forgive me if you get some funk on this one.
So next week, it’s AE migration to the Anatole in Dallas for Autodesk Tech Camp 2008. Since Sybex publishing loves to see you guys using Mastering for classes, they were kind enough to send me a box full to distribute to some lucky campers. Have one already? Take it home anyway, give it to a client!
Here’s the deal: Wander by the Anatole’s tequila bar, La Esquina, when you’re done with class on Tuesday. Hang out, have a drink, answer some C3D trivia, you’ve got a book. Don’t need a book? Don’t like tequila? Come watch your peers try to answer some devious trivia, and enjoy the fun! See you there!
Update: We’ve added an errata page right on the front of civil3d.com. Please take a look if you think you’ve found one of our well crafted, intentional tests that are checking to see if you’re reading closely. Yeah, that’s it, they’re INTENTIONAL mistakes to test you!
OK, so maybe not, but check there first, please. –JW
We’re human, we make mistakes, it happens. We’re starting to see the first of the errata reports for the Mastering Civil 3D text. Eight-hundred, forty pages, over 300 exercises, over 200 sample drawings, there are bound to be some mistakes.
Please, tell us if you find something that doesn’t make sense. You can also check Wiley’s page for errata as they log them.
For now, be aware that the Aerial Contours.dwg file in Chapter 5 is missing the Aerial Contours surface style. We’ll make a new drawing available as soon as we can. We’re happy to fix things, especially if you manage to tell us we screwed up without being a jerk!
