63 Summary Delivering Sustainable Designs with ArcGIS and Civil 3D Identify building sites with geospatial data support and analysis Stylize and calculate community connectivity using geospatial analysis and mapping capabilities Design more efficient stormwater management systems with hydrology and hydraulics analysis

64 Delivering Sustainable Designs with ArcGIS and Civil 3D Choosing the Best Tool for the Task. Data is connected not imported Analysis tasks of Adjacency Proximitry Overlay best handled by ArcGIS Design tasks involving H&H, Surface Analysis, Profiles Sections, best handled by Civil 3D

65 Delivering Sustainable Designs with ArcGIS and Civil 3D The two tools are complimentary in many ways not competitive or mutually exclusive Connected Data Sources can be the same Topology is proprietary but figures for reports are transparent to that.
