Do you have any great project in Architecture, Engineering and Construction you'd like to share with us? We're looking for recent video content created using any or a combination of Autodesk software. This reel will be featured on Autodesk websites, Autodesk YouTube channels, as well as events throughout the year.
If so, it's as easy as:
The deadline for submissions for this project is February 10th, 2016. Your work could be included in our next AEC show reel!
This is this the current show reel.

Hello,
The SP2 for AutoCAD MAP3D 2016 in now available for you to download from the link below or from the Autodesk Application Manager.
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-map-3d/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-autocad-map-3d-2016-service-pack-2.html
In a continuing effort to provide high-quality products, Autodesk has released the AutoCAD Map 3D 2016 Service Pack 2. The Readme contains the latest information regarding the installation and use of this update. It is strongly recommended that you read this entire document before you apply the update to your product. For your reference, you should save the Readme to your hard drive or print a copy.

If you are like me and managed to get a pair of the developer kits for Oculus Rift DK2 and then found the support we had for it in InfraWorks360 was only for the DK1.
It was a developer kit and Autodesk received its hardware at the same time as you would have.
Now is the time to get them back out of the cupboard and use them with some more support and not just a screen that is next to your eyes.
Now Oculus has finally released the production version, of course we are also waiting for our delivery to look to support it directly and check if anything has changed (as it can and will)
So be patient

In InfraWorks 360 there are existing animation features you can use to simulate traffic on your roads and highways. But imagine the possibilities if you could create an interactive video game using that same project. Well, you can! This is a very simple task to do. In this article, we will show you how to create a game using your existing InfraWorks 360 roadway design.

UK AutoCAD Civil 3D User Groups are next week in London and Manchester
London on Tuesday 10th November at CH2M offices in Hammersmith
Manchester on Thursday 12th November at Costain offices near Manchester Airport
All within reach of public transport
These are great events to meet with like mind users, learn from others and gain knowledge of the upcoming improvements by gaining access to the Beta portal with Autodesk development.
Evening events, so also a chance for a #civilbeer outside the day job
Register today to reserve your place and I look forward to meeting you all next week.

Got asked this question this week and thought I would share the concept.
So within Civil 3D we have the capability of using an ‘A’ value.
In the UK we use RL value which is very similar expression
Within the Civil 3D country kit for UK and Ireland I have had a calculation table in there for some years, probably a little hidden.
Take a look here at this updated attachment (note this is updated to the as installed version as the L value on the Q 0.6 section was incorrect, but the 'A' value was correct. (Thanks to Pawel Zawadzki for a good spot)
