While the pavement structure may stay the same on a highway project, the side slopes are always changing. That’s why WisDOT Methods created DaylightProfileControlled. This subassembly can take care of all possible scenarios from a rural subgrade shoulder point to daylight (slope intercept) with a minimum number of assemblies and regions. This class is a deep dive into the parameters that control this subassembly, many scenarios that it can be applied to, and the ways that this subassembly can be most efficiently used.

Learning Objectives:• Learn the behavior of DaylightProfileControlled• Understand the input parameters of DaylightProfileControlled• Discover efficient methods to control DaylightProfileControlled• See this subassembly in action on common roadway designs.

A2 Setting the Stage for Construction[Construction & Surveying Track]Speaker: Kyle Thompson, KL EngineeringTarget Audience: Designers & MunicipalitiesSuggested Expertise Level: Intermediate/Advanced (2+ years)

Today’s roadway construction process includes both the continuous flow of existing traffic as well as the safety of these drivers. This course will provide attendees with the knowledge of how to create staged corridors and surface models, using examples from a project (IH 39/90 - CTH O to USH 14 Interchange North) that used staged models to provide a complete set of plans. The use of Civil 3D in staged situations also allows the user to see where interim slope intercepts, drainage problem areas, and other issues may develop.

We will discuss traditional methods and learn to see so how latest developments in Civil 3D and other tools help you optimize designs from costs and geometric constraints point of view - a prudent rehab approach that helps you improve more miles with the constrained budget and not compromising road user safety!

Learning Objectives:• Review various rehab project practices across the group.• Understand latest Civil 3D rehab corridor optimization tools.• Review rehab project reports and analyze what it means.

A4 Setting Up Your Pipe Networks[Surfaces Track]Speaker: JT McManmon, CTCTarget Audience: Civil engineers, CAD Technicians & ManagersSuggested Expertise Level: Intermediate/Advanced (2+ years)

Part of what makes Pipe Networks in Civil 3D great is that once it’s set up, it’s a very simple toolset to use. Properly configured Pipe Catalogs, Parts Lists, Styles and Layers can make for a streamlined workflow, allowing for more automated labeling, tabling, and quantification. Come join us and learn about simple edits to the Pipe Catalog to aid in better naming in your parts, as well as the annotation of those parts. Learn how to create efficient Parts Lists so users simply select from them and all Styles, Layers, etc. are automated. We’ll look at Object Layer and Labeling tips and tricks as well.

This course will cover complex modeling techniques and modeling workflows used on an urban freeway rehabilitation and restriping project in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. The course will touch on best practices for data and file management for large projects. The course will discuss modeling techniques used for unique rehab project requirements that include modeling split profile barrier, matching existing daylight conditions, and modeling resurface areas.

parameter reference tool to control daylight slopes.• Understand how to model resurface portions of a roadway.

B2 Ramping Into The Future[Construction & Surveying Track]Speaker: Brian Veit, KL EngineeringTarget Audience: Designers & MunicipalitiesSuggested Expertise Level: Intermediate/Advanced (2+ years)

Every curb ramp is unique in its own way. Gone are the days of contractors winging it out in the field. As ADA requirements are more closely monitored and both public and private projects require additional details, curb ramp specifics need to be outlined earlier in the design process. Using Civil 3D to model the details of urban curb ramps in a corridor can affect crucial aspects of the project, such as drainage and right-of-way, saving valuable time and money. This course will walk participants through the process – from where to start and stop the model through how to label and provide details for construction. Civil 3D’s Subassembly Composer will be used to create elements in the model that aid in design. Project Designers, Project Managers, and CAD Technicians alike will benefit from learning how to modify profiles to fit specific situations, finalize the curb ramp model, further modifying the mainline corridor (if needed), and incorporating the curb ramp into the overall model.

Learning Objectives:• Discover where to model curb ramps.• Be able to setup a corridor and check ADA compliance.• Learn how to construct a complete top and datum surface.

Site grading with Civil 3D has traditionally fallen short of what we think of as true 3D modeling. We typically generate a finished grade Surface, but we’re not truly modeling our site, including curb, sidewalk, ponds, subgrade, etc. Well, this all changes with Civil 3D 2018, and the new features that finally make site design with Corridors a realistic option. New features, such as Corridor Baselines from Feature Lines, “bow-tie” cleanup, allow for a much more dynamic and stable site models then previously found with traditional Feature Line-only and Grading Object workflows.

This class will walk through how to set up a truly dynamic Corridor site model, showing realistic application of new and long-hidden features in Civil 3D.
