From Engineering Intent to
Practical Application
Civil BIM Fundamentals
BIM isn't about learning more software. It's about understanding how the tools work together.
UECA Framework:
Understand · Explore · Connect · Apply
Platform:
Civil 3D · SharePoint
Learning Path:
L1 - Foundation
Understand Civil BIM, its purpose, tools, and information flow.
L2 - Explore
Discover how Civil 3D can serve different functions and support your needs.
L3 - Connect
Understand how models and information move across the workflow.
L4 - Apply
Identify where Civil BIM can support your actual engineering work.
Linear Infrastructure Modeling
A road is more than a line on a drawing. Build the engineering behind it.
BDIA Framework:
Build · Define · Integrate · Apply
Platform:
Civil 3D · SharePoint
Learning Path:
L1 - Foundation
Build the surface and establish the existing ground.
L2 - Initiation
Develop alignment and profile from engineering intent.
L3 - Integration
Connect corridor elements, assemblies and intersections.
L4 - Application
Turn the model into practical design information and outputs.
Platform Development Modeling
Before you build on the land, understand how the land needs to work.
ASBA Framework:
Assess · Shape · Balance · Apply
Platform:
Civil 3D · SharePoint
Learning Path:
L1 - Foundation

L2 - Shape
Develop grading, levels and platform geometry.
L3 - Balance
Coordinate earthwork, slopes and site requirements.
L4 - Apply
Produce a practical platform model for engineering development.
Hydraulic Infrastructure Modeling
Water doesn't follow your drawing. Design the system around how it actually flows.
RDCA Framework:
Read · Define · Connect · Apply
Platform:
Civil 3D · SharePoint
Learning Path:
L1 - Understand
Read the terrain and identify drainage requirements.
L2 - Define
Establish networks, routes and hydraulic elements.

Integrate pipes, structures, levels and surface conditions.
L4 - Apply
Develop coordinated hydraulic infrastructure information.
myCP's Framework to
Practical Engineering
1
Tools
Understand the tools, technologies and functions available to support the work.
2
Skills
Develop the technical ability to apply those tools within an engineering workflow.
3
Experience
Build judgement through real situations, constraints and practical engineering decisions.
Our Approach
We don't teach software. We develop the ability to engineer with it.
Start with engineering intent.
Understand the problem, purpose and requirements before choosing the tool or workflow.
Turn intent into a process.
Learn how engineering information, tools and workflows come together to produce a meaningful result.
Move from training to practice.
Apply the workflow to realistic engineering situations, not just isolated software exercises.
Don't stop at “it works.”
Review the result, identify opportunities and continuously improve the workflow.
