Course Overview

Civil 3D Advanced is the production course — three days of intensive work in the three disciplines that drive most civil design deliverables: corridor modeling, grading, and pipe network design. It's built for engineers and designers who have Civil 3D fundamentals and are ready to apply them to full-scale project work. The corridor section covers assemblies and subassemblies, corridor creation and surfaces, vertical and horizontal transitioning, intersection design, volume computations, and advanced section creation and labeling — the full toolkit for road, levee, and channel design. Grading covers feature lines, daylighting, proposed surface creation, and volume balancing. Pipe design covers network calculations, drafting in both plan and profile, and labeling. Advanced styles, smart labeling, and sheet creation tools run through all three areas. Courses run over three days with a certified instructor and a maximum of 12 students in-person. AutoCAD Level I and II, Civil 3D Introduction, and familiarity with civil engineering practice are required. By the end, you'll have the skills to take a complex site or roadway project through corridor design, grading, and pipe layout — from model to finished sheets.

What's included with Civil 3D Advanced?

Civil 3D Advanced includes live instruction from an Autodesk-certified instructor, downloadable course materials and exercise files, a certificate of completion, and three months of free post-class support.

Which software does Civil 3D Advanced cover?

Civil 3D Advanced covers Civil 3D. You'll work hands-on in the software throughout the class.

Is CAD Masters an Authorized Autodesk Training Center?

Yes. CAD Masters is an Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC) and one of the longer-standing ATCs in California. That designation means our curriculum, instructors, and facilities meet Autodesk's certification standards.

Who developed the course curriculum?

Our courses are written and continuously updated by our own certified instructors, not licensed from a generic training publisher. The exercises and workflows reflect how these tools are actually used in engineering, architecture, and design practice.

What's included with enrollment?

Every enrollment includes access to course materials developed by our instructors, a Certificate of Completion from an Autodesk Authorized Training Center, and access to your portal account where you can review materials after the course.

How large are the classes?

In-person sessions at our Walnut Creek and Sacramento locations are capped at 12 students so every student gets direct access to the instructor. Online sessions run live over Zoom with full interaction, not pre-recorded video.

Do you offer group or private training?

Yes. We run private sessions for teams and organizations: same curriculum, scheduled to fit your calendar, and tailored to your workflows when needed. Contact us for group pricing.
