Autodesk Civil 3D 2024 from Start to Finish: Build scalable, real-world infrastructure projects using Civil 3D's full design and modeling toolkit - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Since early 2003, Stephen has been working with a multitude of design, collaboration, and visualization platforms supporting the AEC Industry. His primary focus has been on the Civil and Environmental Engineering side, where he has held varying levels of design support and CAD/BIM/CIM Management roles.

Currently, he is HDR’s Digital Design Lead for Civil Infrastructure where he works with their BG Leadership, Technology Leadership, Vendors, and ITG, to evaluate and implement new technologies and strategies as it relates to the Civil side, build awareness and drive consistency with how they're leveraging the various tools and platforms, and identify ways to build skill sets across HDR around the platforms and technologies being leveraged.

Tony Sabat is a consultant, adviser, and writer in the AEC industry focusing on innovative and disruptive technologies and processes. He has written and spoken for numerous organizations around the world and worked with many large companies from industrial to automotive developing strategies for implementing many emerging technologies such as reality data modeling and virtual construction. He began his career in the early iterations of building information modeling and worked on integrating such concepts and technologies into the civil infrastructure space. Tony focuses primarily on reality capture, building information modeling, digital twin strategies, as well as virtual design and construction.
