A quick tip and reminder on Data References in Civil 3D The most common question I get regarding Drefs is “What do I have to do to see the Shortcuts?”.

We will pick up where we left off from Part Builder Part 3. Open our saved part “Wingwall sloped” from the last session. Adjust the view so that you have something similar to the following image: It’s time to speed things up a bit, so as I refer to procedures, I will once again detail them, and thereafter I will just state that it needs to be completed. Note: Halfway through I realized some changes [...] ...Read the rest of this article...
