- [Instructor] With decisions in place now, we're really starting to see the level of work we'll have to do in Civil 3D, lessening with the enhancement of our subassemblies that we create in the Subassembly composer. Now, before we look at the next logical step which is using switches as I mention in the previous video, we need one more fundamental component of functionality. And that's Enumerations. Specifically we need these because switches are limited in their ability to only handle strings as their expressions. So Enumerations are generally the best way to take care of this. We'll learn later on in this course about how we can define variables that will get around some of this. But for now, Enumerations will allow us to be able to decide between items based upon real language or scenarios and in this video, we'll learn how to apply them to our work directly. But before we jump into the Subassembly Composer and actually define the Enumeration, let's get a little bit of background…
