Civil 3D
Civil 3D is a civil engineering design and documentation software developed by Autodesk. It extends the functionality of AutoCAD by providing tools specifically for designing, analyzing, and documenting infrastructure projects like roads, land development, stormwater systems, and more.
1. Surface Modeling
. Create and edit terrain surfaces from survey data or contours
. Analyze elevation, slope, drainage, and cut/fill volumes
2. Alignments and Profiles
. Design the horizontal (alignment) and vertical (profile) paths of roads, railways, or pipelines
. Automatically generate plan and profile sheets.
3. Corridor Modeling
. Build complex 3D models of roadways, using assemblies (cross-section templates)
. Analyze materials and quantities
4. Grading Design
. Perform site grading for lots, ditches, ponds, and pads
. Use grading groups and criteria for dynamic updates.
5. Pipe Networks
. Design and analyze storm and sanitary sewer systems
. Model pipes, manholes, and inlets with real-world data.
6. Parcels and Site Design
. Lay out plots and lots for subdivisions and site planning
. Generate legal descriptions and labels automatically
7. Survey Integration
. Import and process field survey data
. Create base maps, points, and surfaces directly from raw survey files.
8. Quantity Takeoff and Reporting
. Extract material volumes and generate construction-ready reports.
9. Data-Driven & Dynamic
. All Civil 3D objects are intelligent and linked — so changes update across the entire project automatically.
