What if the only thing limiting your projects was the way you’ve always done them? Often seen as a tool for large-scale linear infrastructures, Civil 3D is far more versatile than that. It includes everything you need to successfully deliver your urban projects. Why look elsewhere for what’s already right in front of you? Shake up your habits. It’s time to rethink the way you model urban spaces.
And here’s the good news! You’ve probably already got access to it. Civil 3D is included in the AEC Collection and Enterprise Business Agreements.

Civil 3D and its many features and benefits

An all-around solution for engineers, project engineers, and industrial designers

Voiries et terrassements

Public highways and earthworks

Thanks to its dedicated functions, Civil 3D enables precise modeling and alignment of earthworks, roads, and utilities. Even with geometrically complex models, the tool delivers with precision and visual appeal, taking full account of traffic and building-access constraints.
  • Precise modeling and alignment
  • Design and processing of complex geometries
  • High precision and default 3D rendering
  • All possible environmental conditions considered

Network modeling

Network modeling

Civil 3D comprises modules for creating gravity and pressure networks, based on dedicated component libraries. Meanwhile, the dynamic connection between alignment and profile enables fast, accurate, and efficient modeling.
  • Integration of component libraries for gravity and pressure networks
  • Dynamic behaviors
  • Integrated design of stormwater networks
  • Precise and easy to use

Environment and street furniture

Environment and street furniture

You can model the entire urban project environment in seconds thanks to the host of features provided by AutoCAD Map 3D and AutoCAD Architecture. Integrated libraries provide 3D objects that enhance the context and produce the most realistic rendering. Our integration into Esri Arc GIS online makes it easier than ever to gather and coordinate against existing conditions.
  • Simplified environment modeling
  • AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Architecture, and other integrated Autodesk functions
  • 3D objects for creating a realistic context

BIM workflows and 2D/3D rendering

BIM workflows and 2D/3D rendering

With Civil 3D, you can design every aspect of an urban space in 3D. Rendering and connection to BIM workflows are streamlined, while interoperability with other AEC solutions makes Civil 3D easy to integrate into open workflows.
  • Volumetric design
  • Connects easily to BIM workflows
  • Compatibility with open workflows thanks to integration with other AEC solutions
  • IFC 2x3 and 4x3 supported

Detailed modeling of roadways and their structure

Detailed modeling of paving with structure and reservations

Modeling of buildings to enhance context

Modeling of gravity networks

Modeling of pressure networks

Modeling of dry networks

Modeling of specific elements with complex geometries such as stairways and low walls

Aggregation using outer references in Civil 3D

Aggregation using the collaborative ACC platform and Model Coordination

The cost benefits of Civil 3D

A practical, cost-effective solution for project managers and team leads
