So what was the world like before formal training? There was never a time when people didn’t
learn, however most of the time it was “the hard way” or out of “pure
necessity”.
Take the cavemen, they had
to figure out how to hunt, kill and eventually cook their food… if only they
had the internet back then, they could have had these answers in minutes,
right? Well maybe. But then if they had looked up “how to hunt”
they may have gotten millions of hits ranging from how to hunt a Tyrannosaurus
Rex to how to hunt for berries. Quite a
difference!
So imagine now you search the internet for “how to
create a grading object”… you’re likely to get the same results. The search will result in hundreds of
different features, documents, and videos on everything from creating a
retaining wall, to a parking lot, to creating dozens of lot pads using a
corridor model. The fact is you may not find
what it is you’re looking for, you may get close, or you may get really lucky
and find exactly what it is you’re trying to accomplish.
Unfortunately the latter option is not very likely.
The reason it’s not very likely is that every project
is different, every set of data is different, and every set of requirements and
expected outcome is different. The
bottom line here is that correct answers are rarely a “one size fits all”
solution. You quite likely need a
specialist that can assess your data, requirements, and limitations in order to
teach you exactly how to accomplish the task at hand.
Next time you’re “stuck” and cannot figure out the
solution, by all means search the internet for answers, but don’t spend too much time
searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack. Instead, try finding a horse (an expert) that
can eat all the hay from around the needle, and get you right to the “point” (pun
intended) quickly.
Whether it's us at Youngs VOS or some other expert, I'm convinced that the experts, whoever they are, will be able to help you quickly, and save you money in the long run.
