Sometimes videos accompany the launch of a technology preview. Sometimes they come later. I place them on YouTube to help gain exposure for the technology preview. I also make them available for download from my Buzzsaw site for users who do not have access to YouTube.

Recently I added some videos for Project Silverstar for AutoCAD Civil 3D - our free technology preview for optimization of vertical road alignments.

The videos are two tutorials created by Principal Research Engineer, Valetin Koch. Check them out:

The team also made some updates yesterday.

Based on user feedback to mailto:labs.acad.silverstar@autodesk.com - labs.acad.silverstar@autodesk.com , yesterday's update includes the following:

• Server-side improvements with respect to the solving time
• More accurate volumes when using offsets (using fixed sample line distances and simple assemblies on the server side)
• Updated http://labs.blogs.com/Silverstar/User-Manual.pdf - User Manual
• Updated http://labs.blogs.com/Silverstar/Silverstar-Tutorial-2.dwg - Tutorial 2 Sample Drawing that accompanies the video

As you can see, these updates do not require that you download again and re-install.

Learning visually is alive in the lab.
