From the Ground Up
A European perspective on design and out of the box thinking with Civil 3D.
About Jack About OveLatest Post
- posted 12/21/06 by Jack Strongitharm Welcome to our new Civil 3D blog from across the pond
- This is the first Autodesk based Civil 3D Blog site outside of the US.
To introduce ourselves we are Application Engineers for Civil 3D for Autodesk across UK, Ireland, Benelux and the Nordic Countries for Autodesk.
I myself, Jack Strongitharm look after UK and Ireland have been working for Autodesk for 2 years as an Application Engineer for Civil 3D.
I am responsible for the UK and Ireland Country Kit and educating new users on how to use Civil 3D in their projects.
My real enginnering experience comes from road and site design from a small footpath improvement to working on £100 million road scheme.
From the design of the scheme, tender and supervision on site. This also includes paying the final bill !!
I am also known as ‘Junction Jack’ from my efforts to tell the world how to model junctions and roundabouts in Civil 3D.
Anyway that is a done deal and can be found at www.autodesk.co.uk/civil3D-downloads
Chris Berends looks after the Benelux area.
He is our Surveying guru. His experience comes from being a surveyor in the field combined with a Civil AND GIS study.
Chris has been at Autodesk for 7 years and has a great understanding of Geospatial industry and how to apply that knowledge.
Ove Cervin looks after the Nordic countries, including Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, and also the Baltic countries which are Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
Ove’s experience comes from airport design, site modelling and earthwork design.
Our aim with this Blog is to explore how Civil 3D can make design a pleasure and to look outside the box as you will find that Civil 3D is very bendy and can be applied in so many different ways.
Excuse the photos with the hats!
We hope you find this blog useful.
Jack Strongitharm, Chris Berends and Ove Cervin
