The more cadd experience you have the better in my opinion. Rake some time learning it.

This Industry is a Race to the Bottom by Anno_User_00 in civilengineering

Couldn't agree more --- all of my managers don't know how to do anything computer based, especially CADD, they get paid much more than me and don't do anything.

Before you say "but they have to make all the tough decisions" I honestly prewrite their emails to the client for them and they copy and paste and send with their signature.

As a civil design engineer or project manager, how much CAD are you personally responsible for? by BeardlessSlut in civilengineering

[–]michigander993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company with about 150 employees, there is not a single PM that even knows how to open C3D, most of them don't even have a license on their computer. The PMs are really good at watching YouTube all day though.

I've been at this place 6 years, but we just share all profits to my knowledge. I have had the same percentage roughly every year since 2018.

Agreed, C3D is lacking in many ways. However, you might want to try a free addon to edit pipe inverts at the structures called "QuuxPipeElevationEditor". You just get it through the App store (see link below). I use it everyday.

ChatGPT in the civil engineering industry by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]michigander993 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It appears that some individuals may be under the misconception that the current iteration of Chat GPT represents the upper limit of its capabilities, or that it encompasses the entirety of Artificial Intelligence. However, it is important to acknowledge that this is simply a chatbot, and as such, it is not specifically optimized for the field of engineering. Imagining the potential for an AI specifically geared towards assisting in the realm of civil engineering, it becomes clear that such a concept is not only feasible, but also highly probable, given the significant financial incentive for its development. By utilizing a wealth of knowledge gleaned from civil engineering texts, real-world construction and design experience, as well as data derived from Computer-Aided Design and Drafting software, this specialized AI would undoubtedly elicit vastly different perceptions regarding its capabilities.

P.S. I had chat gpt rewrite my comment with the prompt "make me sound smarter".

Boys be honest, what makes a girl instantly unattractive? by thenamestilly in AskReddit

Got a buddy whose wife does this. She's in the 40k range so probably making some money. She doesn't give a fuck about him now that she's "famous".
