I’m lucky enough to be teaching another class at Autodesk University this year. If you’ve never been to AU, I would highly recommend going. It’s a great place to network and you can learn a lot or a little, it’s really up to you. Speaking of my class, I think it’s something that people can really use.

Paul McRoberts (vice president, infrastructure product line group, Autodesk AEC Solutions Division) stated that “the [Civil 3D] 2012 release offers robust new functionality and enhanced tools for intelligent model-based design, documentation, and collaboration, helping civil engineers to take full advantage of the BIM process.”
I hope that some of you were able to tune into the #ADSKAEC tweets that were happening live during the day. (Are you not a Twitter user yet? There is a wealth of Civil 3D knowledge just bursting at the seams, check out the Civil 3D feed to the right for a taste of the current topics.) One of the overriding themes throughout the event was the cycle of BIM (Building Information Management): Manage –> Plan –> Design –> Build –> Manage…
