Happy Christmas and a groovy New Year. We will soon be in those few precious months where the calendar year and the latest Autodesk release align.
May the magic of the season stay with you all year.
The corridor shown here was created with offset alignments with 11 widening regions each. Then I tweaked a few styles for the decor.
Now if I had really been feeling ambitious I'd have modeled a star on top like an intersection...

AutoCAD Skills for Civil 3D: Part 2
I've been putting together a series for brand-new users of AutoCAD who are getting ready to learn Civil 3D. You don't need to know AutoCAD inside out, but understanding the basics is huge. This originally was a ten-part series but it has grown a bit.
Part 2 is ready! AutoCAD skills for Civil 3D: Part-2 Selecting things!
Part 1 is still available: AutoCAD skills for Civil 3D: Part 1 Getting to know the interface.
Coming soon: Part 3: AutoCAD Properties
Have fun!

Save the Tatas!
Breasts are near and dear to my heart. I was delighted to discover that Shaan Hurley of Autodesk is also a fan. If Shaan can raise $2000 by AU2009 (NEXT WEEK!) he will shave his head at the Autodesk Blogger's Social.
What can you do?
For everyone who follows the blog revit3D.com, Greg Arkin is donating $1 to the Susan G. Komen foundation for the Cure. He's hoping that like-minded people will donate as well.

AutoCAD Skills for Civil 3D: Part 1
Folks, you don't need to be an AutoCAD guru before you learn Civil 3D 2010. However, you do need to know some basics or you will get lost, frustrated and/or confused when working in Civil 3D.
Lately, I've been teaching a lot of Microstation/Caice users how to use Civil 3D - and finding that the best approach is to spend at least a day focusing on just the AutoCAD side of things.
The following is part one of my 10-part series AutoCAD Skills for Civil 3D.
The document is called 10 AutoCAD skills, but that's a bit of a misnomer. It is more like 10 general topics to be aware of.
Enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends. Happy Belated Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends. Happy early Pongal to my Indian friends.
