Mike Bandich and Danny Counts of U.S. CAD originally developed the project structure described in this document. Here Mike explains how they have used and adapted the structure for different projects.
“After hearing about Vault for the first time in 2006, I was enthusiastic about its possibilities for project-based collaboration,” explains Mike Bandich. “During a break at Tech Camp, after my first introduction to Vault, I began to discuss a potential work flow with Danny. Out of that conversation arose the concept that developed into the project drawing structure.
“In my opinion, the concept can be applied to any civil engineering project that uses Vault with any of the shared Autodesk Civil 3D objects. I have personally applied this structure to a range of design projects, including street improvements, sewer and storm water networks, and residential grading.
“We proposed the concept of one object per drawing because this model offers the greatest flexibility for project teams large and small. In practice, some project teams have decided to combine multiple objects into a single drawing. For example, some have decided to put all the horizontal control (alignments) into one drawing.”
