Tutorial: Visualizing Surface Data

This tutorial demonstrates how to add multi-view blocks to a surface and render it using a sample of the visualization techniques included with AutoCAD Civil 3D.

AutoCAD Civil 3D uses the same rendering functionality as standard AutoCAD. At a basic level, you can use the Render command to render your model without applying any materials, adding any lights, or setting up a scene. In this tutorial, you will create a basic rendering by applying a render material to a surface. You will explore some of the basic render settings that are available.
