Civil 3D User Group UK (Save the date)

Tuesday 14th July we will be holding a Civil 3D User group evening meeting in the Autodesk offices in Sheffield

Registration and agenda will go live in the coming weeks.

We are looking to extend our user group and add more locations over this year and returning to Manchester and adding London and Bristol hopefully in September.

The group will be rebranding from MCUG to CUG UK to support this move.

We are always looking for project presentations and those interested in joining the committee to help support more region locations moving forward

We look forward to seeing those users in the North East area of the UK !!

Autodesk IdeaStations - the power of the crowd

So if you would like to point out your needs of functionality and capability to the product teams there is a new way to communicate and also via the power of the crowd you can vote on everyone else's ideas too.

This helps raise awareness of where our amazing users of technology are needing additional support.

Manchester Civil 3D User Group - Update

Last night we held the first user group in Manchester (UK) for Civil 3D.

This is an independent group that is forming and we held the first meeting last night to a great attendance.

We had presentations from

BIM4Infrastructure: Design behind the mode by Jonathan Wheatley of Capita

BIM, Standards and Civil 3D - bringing it all together by Dave Bosworth of Excitech

and also myself with Tips, tricks and updates

Was great to meet with the dedicated followers and those that want to share best practice.

Also to progress BIM for Infrastructure as a process and provide better deliverables and data from their design work

 

Was also just to catch up with colleagues I have worked with in my past and grab a pint

 

If you are interested in joining, please refer to

I have heard from others wanting to also establish similar groups and hopefully next year we can make that happen with your support.
