The Civil View User Community - from 3AM Solutions

As well as our primary 3AM Solutions web site, we also run a community web site for users of Autodesk Civil View (formally Dynamite VSP):

The Civil View User Community

The following content is available from the Civil View User Community pages:

News, Tips and Tricks

Through the use of our products, our developers and users often devise simple techniques which can save time, or even open up the product for use in areas of which they were not originally intended.

This section of the community pages allows us to share these techniques which are often too specialised to include in the product tutorials or standard documentation, and to provide information about new releases and new functionality.

Discussion Forum

Acting as the focal point of our online community, the new discussion forum is a place to meet fellow users and discuss any issue relating to the use of our products and related technologies. The development team at 3am Solutions also visit the discussion forum from time to time, but it is primarily intended for peer to peer support.

Discussion forum categories include:

  • Autodesk Civil View Specific - discuss issues with other users which relate to a specific version of Civil View.
  • 3ds Max Specific - discuss issues with other users which relate to any Autodesk host application that you are using alongside Civil View or Dynamite VSP.
  • Civil Design Application Specific - discuss techniques for preparing design data for input into Civil View from your chosen civil design application (such as MX, Civil 3D, InRoads, Geopak).
  • Wishlist - nominate ideas for features that you would like to see included in future releases of our products.
  • Take Five - Discuss absolutely anything off-topic with any other member of the community.

Tutorials

We regularly receive favourable comments relating to our existing product tutorials. For many users these tutorials are the first port of call when initially evaluating our products. It's great to hear that our efforts are appreciated, but we have now made further improvements.

Community members may print their own copy of any of the text based online tutorials. All pages will automatically be formatted for print as soon as the print button is pressed in any web browser.

Knowledgebase

Here at the 3am Solutions Support Desk, we often get asked certain questions repeatedly. It therefore makes sense for us to place the answers to commonly asked questions on our web site for the benefit of the entire community.

We therefore encourage our clients to consult the Knowledgebase pages before submitting a support question to us.

In common with other areas of the community pages, a facility is included to allow users to comment on each article to further enhance the effectiveness of each topic.

User Gallery

The community user gallery is an area in which members may upload their own work and basically show off! This is also a great way to share ideas and hopefully inspire other members of the community through the quality work submitted.

Links

The links page consists of a regularly updated list of online resources where community members will find related discussion forums, tutorials, textures, 3d models, shareware, and useful plugins for 3ds Max Design which may be of interest.

Some of the content accessible from these links is likely to be free - other content will be chargeable.

Members of the community are actively encouraged to contribute new links to this page.

RSS

Most of the above content is available via a series of RSS news feeds.

RSS is a way of providing news feeds direct to your desktop to notify you when new content is added to your favourite web sites.

This means that community members can get the latest information from the Civil View User Community pages delivered to their desktop, as soon as its published, and without having to actually visit the site. Members may decide which parts of the site they wish to subscribe to so that only updates that are relevant to their individual interests are received.
