Overview
Autodesk’s leading civil engineering solution—made up of AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software and AutoCAD® Civil software—provides targeted solutions for use by an entire project team, including civil engineers and designers, drafters, technicians, and surveyors. Unlike other solutions, the Autodesk civil engineering solution allows you to take on a broad range of project types, including land development, transportation, and environmental. This can mean lower costs for you in software, training, and implementation.
Boost Productivity and Improve Quality
Design and document your civil engineering projects faster. Evaluate more what-if scenarios to get to higher-quality designs. Use styles-based drafting to reduce errors and deliver higher-quality, more consistent construction documentation.
Provide Better Coordination of Design Changes
With the Autodesk civil engineering solution, the entire team may work from the same up-to-date model—and stay coordinated throughout all project phases to keep projects on schedule and on budget. Local and remote team members have parallel access to the latest model through a scalable approach ranging from xrefs and data shortcuts to integrated data management and version control.
Simulate and Analyze Project Performance
Not only do you want to deliver designs faster, but you want to optimize those designs to maximize benefit. With the Autodesk civil engineering solution you can leverage your valuable design information to simulate and analyze project performance, including performing a detailed stormwater analysis.
Communicate Winning Ideas With Visualization
Smart design isn’t everything. You need to communicate your ideas to the public, review boards, and other stakeholders. With 3D visualization tools, you can easily create high-impact presentations that quickly communicate design intent to your audience.
Your Competitive Advantage
Complete projects faster and more efficiently. Develop higher-quality designs and construction documentation, create winning presentations, and deliver a higher level of service for your clients.
Autodesk Civil Engineering Software Comparison
The Autodesk® leading civil engineering solution—made up of AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software and AutoCAD® Civil software—provides targeted solutions for use by an entire project team including civil engineers and designers, drafters, technicians, and surveyors. Depending on the staffing of your organization, you may choose to work with a mix of both products to best address the needs of your users. AutoCAD Civil and AutoCAD Civil 3D share a common base of functionality and can be used seamlessly together to support the full project team.
