How to create a Surface, Profile, and Section Views in AutoCAD Civil 3D

Learn how to generate a tin surface, an alignment, and profile and section views in AutoCAD Civil 3D using a drawing file (.dwg) that includes contour data. Don't have a drawing file that contains contour lines with x, y, and z coordinates? Not a problem! Quickly and easily download them from Equator. Link to how to video here:    • How to generate Contours in Equator  

Equator has an extensive collection of the latest LiDAR data available that can be converted to contour lines. You can download your data and get started on your project immediately.
