I Used AI to Design a Commercial Site in Civil 3D
•
7m 23s
In this video, we walk through the initial stages of commercial site selection and property analysis before starting civil design in Civil 3D.
We search for available commercial land in Pasco County, Florida using LoopNet, filter for vacant commercial parcels, and examine developer offering flyers and master concept plans. You’ll see how to evaluate concept layouts (outlots, retail/restaurant pads, gas station anchors), identify environmental constraints like wetlands and buffer requirements, review utilities, check traffic counts, and analyze property marketing packages and aerial video tours.
