A Starter Course for 12d Model
You will have 30 days to complete this course with access to 12d Model.
After you have completed the course you will be able to watch the videos for 12 months.

This course is ideal for anyone new to 12d Model You will learn how to:

  • Navigate 12d Model.
  • Open an existing 12d Model project.
  • Create a new 12d Model project and load data into it.
  • Inquire and measure.
  • Create a TIN from survey data.
  • Generate and export contours.
  • Produce plotted outputs directly from 12d Model to PDF.
  • Export data to CAD.

Even if you’ve already used 12d Model and received informal guidance from colleagues, this course offers valuable insights and techniques.

By the end of this course, you will:

  • Be familiar with the 12d Model user interface.
  • Know how to load and triangulate survey data.
  • Be able to create contours.
  • Have experience with simple drafting tools in 12d Model.
  • Understand the basics of plotting and exporting data.

Course Outline

  • Open an Existing Project

    • Inspect and review the data.
  • Start a New Project

    • Load a CAD file of cadastral boundaries.
    • Import a 12daz file of survey data.
  • Create a Triangulation (TIN)

    • Generate a TIN from the survey data.

Course Content

Topic 1 – Introduction
Topic 1 Summary. The lessons in Topic 1 will show how to install 12d Model and download the training data. Once 12d Model is installed, open an existing project and input a 12da file of the Survey Data and a DWG file of a Cadastral Layout. We will then move around 12d Model and define what is available around the 12d Model screen. Then look at moving around the imported data, then adding or removing the data from the view. We will see how we can search for commands utilitising the search toolbar.

The course covered the basic and general aspects of 12d Model. It provided a very good level of detail for an introductory course, particularly regarding visualisation tools, interface navigation, and basic commands. It was clear, practical, and useful for building a solid foundation in the software.

It was pretty good but will need to practice every day to get used to it. The user interface is very different to AutoCAD
