Why use Civil 3D?
Design more efficiently
Improve design quality with a dynamic 3D model–based design environment and design-driven documentation environment.
Streamline collaboration
Reduce errors and rework by exchanging data across multidisciplinary teams while maintaining standards and accuracy.
Leverage interoperability tools
Share data and models freely between products using the common IFC format(s).
Explore Civil 3D by project type
Civil 3D includes purpose-built tools for critical civil engineering disciplines. See how Civil 3D can help you design and build better roads and motorways, sites and rail projects.
What you can do with Autodesk Civil 3D
Improve design quality with Autodesk Construction Cloud (video: 1 min.)
Streamline your design and documentation workflows
Deliver design and construction documentation for road and motorway, site design, rail and bridge projects. Reduce overall design time with faster modelling for surfaces, corridors, terrain and more.
Collaborate in real time with GIS and BIM (video: 2:26 min.)
Advance workflows with GIS and cloud collaboration
Incorporate GIS data into your design with sustainability and customer satisfaction in mind. View and share data securely in the cloud to improve collaboration with all project stakeholders.
Boost collaboration with effortless data exchange (video: 3:03 min.)
Improve project coordination
Seamlessly exchange data across multidisciplinary teams while maintaining standards and accuracy to reduce rework and improve customer satisfaction.
“[With Autodesk] we’re able to collaborate seamlessly using the AEC package on our BIM platform.”
— Ismaeel Babur, Senior Civil Engineer, Virgin Hyperloop One
“The benefits are about transparency and better collaboration.”
— Jan-Peter Ter Maaten, VolkerWessels
“Civil 3D allowed for quick generation of plans for signature and submittal to the agencies.”
— Charles D’Errico, IT Systems Analyst, Thomas & Hutton
Do more with Civil 3D extensions
A separate instal or subscription to another Autodesk product may be required.
Grading Optimisation for Civil 3D
Use Grading Optimisation to automate time-consuming grading tasks, explore alternatives to find optimal solutions, and return to Civil 3D to complete the detailed design. (video: 1:59 min.)
Geotechnical Modeller
Effectively visualise and analyse geotechnical data, then easily utilise that data directly in your Civil 3D design model.
PPK Survey for Civil 3D
Import base and rover survey data and convert it to coordinate geometry points in a Civil 3D drawing.
Connector for ArcGIS
Bring geospatial information systems (GIS) data from ArcGIS into Civil 3D drawings, save back edited content, and publish and export Civil 3D data for use in ArcGIS.
Collaboration for Civil 3D
Collaborate on Civil 3D projects anytime, anywhere. Keep teams on the same page and clearly visualise the impact of design changes.
