Introduction to 12d Model
Duration : one day basic course
Prerequisites:
This session is intended for new users of 12d Model. No experience in 12d Model is necessary but basic computer skills are required.
Participants will gain more from the course if they have worked through the first part of the 12d Model Getting Started for Design Manual.
The course is ideal for those who need an understanding of the basic concepts using 12d Model.
Course Content:
- Navigate in 12d Model’s graphical user interface.
- An overview of 12d’s file structure and strings
types. - Read data into 12d Model, and triangulate that
data to form a Digital Terrain Model. - Create contour strings from the DTM.
- Create plan, section and perspective views and
view the DTM in these views. - Create different types of strings in 12d Model, and
understand the different uses that can be made of
the strings. - Edit and modify the elevation and location of the
strings. - Explore the COGO functionality in 12d Model.
- Analyse a pad foundation using 12d Model. Vary
the level of the foundation to balance earthwork
volumes. View the completed design in a
perspective view. - Analyse a site based on the topographic survey to
determine areas suitable for development. - Creating the outline of a building pad, and
determine the footprint of the pad on the existing
surface. Analysing the volume of the pad by both
cross section and exact (prismoidal) methods. - Varying the level of the pad to balance earthwork
volumes. Viewing the completed design in a
perspective view. - Creating an outline of the floor and top of a
detention basin. Creating a model of the detention
basin, and shading the basin walls based on slope. - Analysing the storage volume available in the
detention basin, both for the whole basin, and in
depth increments (determine the storage curve). - Creating a "stripped" surface for the basin, and
determining topsoil volume. Analysing volumes
between the floor of the basin and the stripped
surface. - A thorough review of the sharing options inside 12d
Model, allowing all users to share data with users
within their companies throughout the world
