2003 - 2004 Seminar Season
"CAD instructions were very helpful and the seminar handbook will be very useful.
I could have done without the 'Lowest Surface' and 'Strata' exercises,
but at least I know it can be done. Thanks for a very educating past 2 days, Michael!"

Ty Rotella [Denver 2003-2004 CAD Data & Advanced Takeoff Applications seminar]
"Morning part of the class was very important to me (setting up model from
CAD file). Very good information but I would like more training on manipulating
data for field use. Just my personal opinion, not an issue with the class."
Dave Lato [Denver 2003-2004 CAD Data & Advanced Takeoff Applications seminar]
--Instructor's Note: A "Survey & Grade Control Data Manipulation"
course will be offered in the 2004-2005 season.
"Great course!" Anonymous [Denver 2003-2004 CAD Data & Advanced
Takeoff Applications seminar]
"As a novice, the manipulation and analysis section at times was overwhelming.
I think if I had been working with the program for 6 months, it would have been great.
I at least gained the knowledge that there are certain calculations that can be accomplished
with the program. Before this class, I figured certain things could be done but
had no idea how or where to begin." Lorie O'Neill [Denver 2003-2004

"Because I had used Earthwork 3D for about five months prior to this seminar,
I thought it wasn't necessary for me to attend the first day. But I was amazed
at how much I learned in this class and at how little I was utilizing the capabilities
of this software. The information was presented very well." Kurt

"Excellent class!" Garrett Stearns [Nashville 2003-2004 Digitizing,
Editing & Documenting Takeoffs seminar]
"My one day in this course was an excellent review of the basic CAD import
functions as well as a very interesting demonstration of the vast capabilities of the
software. Additionally, I learned a few shortcuts and hot keys that I had not
previously used. Finally, Mr. Cope's presentation methods provided a clear,
concise picture of each function. I am certain that the handbook he crafted and
provided will prove to be an invaluable resource for future reference along with the
availability of exercise files from his website." John Jacobs [Birmingham

instructor asked the students how they have utilized the applications. This participation
makes people 'open up' and be able to ask their questions. Well done--Thanks."
