IMAGINiT's Civil Blogger, Doug Benoit, shares his insight on Autodesk civil engineering software including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Land Desktop and AutoCAD Civil 3D. In this month's newsletter, Doug shares an excerpt of his blog:

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 comes to us with the ability to create a library of typical assemblies that can be added to a Tool Palette for easy access.

Once you've created the assembly according to your design, simply left click on the vertical line of the assembly marker to select or highlight it. Once selected, click on it again and drag it onto a Tool Palette and save the drawing. After that, all you have to do is drag-and-drop it from the palette into a new drawing and apply it to your corridor model.

You can read the remainder of Doug's tutorial at Assembly Library In Civil 3D 2009

The 42 biologists, ecologists, designers, builders, and landscapers at Rana Creek Restoration Ecology are dedicated to restoring butterflies and healthy ecosystems to the landscape.

With the economic and environmental benefits of green roofs now established and catching on nationwide, a new apartment building in San Jose, California, will absorb 100 percent of the rainwater that falls onsite with the help of a living roof, living walls, a bioswale, and retention basin.

The six-and-a-half acre Vancouver Convention Center roof will capture, store, and treat its rainwater for use in irrigation and flushing toilets, for a gain of 3 million gallons a year. And Rana Creek is working with the city of San Francisco to devise an effective zero-discharge strategy that would manage rainwater where it falls rather than sending it to old and overtaxed storm water sewer lines.

Rana Creek relies on Autodesk's Civil 3D for roof storm water runoff calculations, as well as designing water and sewer systems. When a project requires significant grading and drainage, the software makes it easy to manage the cut and fill (where excess soil is used on site as much as possible, to avoid the high energy costs associated with transporting dirt).

When you opened a drawing using Civil 3D 2009 or Land Desktop 2009, you received a fatal error similar to one of the following messages:

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 1caa3d46h

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 1d4f3d46h

This problem is caused by the order in which the files were loaded. You must load AeccLand.dbx before opening the drawing file. After you start the application, follow these steps:

1. At the command prompt, enter Appload.
2. In the C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 folder, select AeccLand.dbx, and then press the Load button.
3. On the command line you should see a message stating that AeccLand.dbx was successfully loaded.
4. Click Close.

You should now be able to open the drawing file.

• Your computer has new graphics hardware.
• A new driver is available for the graphics board.
• The status of the graphics card has changed, such as from Supported to Certified.
• Autodesk or the graphics hardware vendor has resolved issues with the graphics hardware.
