Probably wondering where we have been on this for the last couple of weeks as our Civil 3D blogging friends have been revealing some of the new key features.
As Autodesk staff we have a different date we have to work to, but never mind.
So rather than just talk about the same features here is something cool and not obvious to your first glances. (i like these ones the most!)
Those that saw me at AU last year got an early look at these as we now have 3D content to aid visualisation in your 3D models.

They are designed as Multiview blocks (i.e. have a 2D display and a 3D display, similar to our Civil 3D styles)
This is so when plotting a drawing in plan you get a nice simple appearance, but when viewed in 3D you have a model.

Where do I find them?
Right click on the toolpalettes grey bar on the side and you can see the selection of 'MV Blocks'

There is four catagories
Highways, External Works and Landscaping

Also there are some simple Building footprints

These are all really a sample of what is possible as we could never give every single content type. But use them to create more realism and also copy what is there to change colours, image types for sign faces and even add a little model of yourself on a billboard to place in the scene!
There are plenty of hidden gems that are in this release and myself and Ove will help you explore these as you start with this great new version.
