Being productive is more important than ever!!!

ArcGIS Desktop                                   October 12th - 14th

                                                        Instructor:  Kevin Kuhn

                                                        $1350.00 per student

Overview: This three-day course introduces students to ArcGIS and provides the foundation for becoming a successful ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo user. Participants learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solutions. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work the georeferenced spatial data. Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts.

Goals:

  • Display feature and tabular data
  • Work with georeferenced spatial data
  • Query features using logical expressions
  • Find features using spatial relationships
  • Edit spatial and attribute data
  • Associate tables with joins and relates
  • Produce maps, reports, and graphs

Civil 3D Essentials                               October 27th - 29th 2010

                                                         Instructor:  Jerry Workman, PE

                                                        $1,250.00 per student

Overview  The Civil 3D 2010 Fundamentals course is designed for Civil Engineers and Surveyors who want to take advantage of AutoCAD Civil 3D's interactive, dynamic design functionality. AutoCAD Civil 3D permits the rapid development of alternatives through its model-based design tools. You will learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, create parcel layouts, perform grading and volume calculation tasks, and lay out pipe networks.

Goals:

  • Import data through AutoCAD LandXML and from an Autodesk Land Desktop Project
  • Create and manage Points and Point Groups
  • Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces
  • Create parcels and parcel tables
  • Create sites, create and edit alignments, and create profiles and
    cross-sections
  • Create assemblies, corridors, and cross-sections, and calculate corridor volumes
  • Create complex grading solutions
  • Create pipe networks

AutoCAD Essentials                             September 22rd - 24th 2010

                                                        Instructor:  Robert Haught  ASLA

                                                        $1050.00 per student

Our AutoCAD 2011 training covers the indispensable core topics for working with AutoCAD. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that let the student create and edit a simple drawing. You then continue to develop those tools, as well as being introduced to more advanced tools throughout the course. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts.

Goals:

  • understanding the AutoCAD workspace and user interface 
  • using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools
  • organizing drawing objects on layers 
  • inserting reusable symbols (blocks)
  • preparing a layout to be plotted
  • adding text, hatching, and dimensions

AutoCAD Revit Architecture           November 2nd - 4th 2010

                                                 Instructor:  Nick Fuller

                                                 $1350.00 per student

Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is necessarily a complex program. The objective of the Revit Architecture 2010 Fundamentals course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This class focuses on basic tools that the majority of users will need to work with Revit Architecture.

Goals

  • Use the Revit Architecture workspace and interface
  • Add walls to a massing study and create a presentation sheet
  • Work with the basic drawing and editing tools in Revit
  • Create Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model
  • Create a 3D building model with walls, windows, and doors
  • Add floors and roofs to the building model
  • Create standard and custom stairs
  • Detail Reflected Ceiling Plans with ceilings and lighting fixtures
  • Add component features, such as furniture and equipment
  • Set up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules

Solid Edge with ST 2                                       November 8th - 12th

                                                                   Instructor- Ally PLM

                                                                   $2500.00 per student

The Solid Edge Fundamentals course will focus on making the novice user aware of the potential uses of production level solid modeling. The focus of this course is on the fundamental skills and concepts central to the use of Solid Edge.

Students will have learned how to utilize Solid Edge to design production level parametric models of parts, sheet metal design, assemblies, detail drawings and document management. They will also be familiar with the Solid Edge user interface, adding features, sketching tools and various modeling techniques.

Goals

  • Exploring Solid Edge
  • 2D Sketches and Layouts
  • Primary Features
  • Treatment Features
  • Specialized Features
  • Creating Drawings of 3D Models
  • Dimensions and Annotation
  • Additional Sheet Metal instruction
  • Assembly Design
