Civil 3D for site design

Create comprehensive, accurate site designs

Prepare and shape ground surfaces for roadway, buildings, subdivision, and other civil infrastructure projects.

Civil 3D features for site design

Features

Survey

Download, create, analyse and adjust survey data. Streamline the transfer of field-captured data to and from the office. (video: 11 sec.)


Terrain modelling

Create comprehensive digital models of ground topography for studies such as land-use feasibility, transportation system planning and water flow simulations. (video: 14 sec.)


Corridor modelling

Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for designs such as residential roads, kerbs and footpaths, swales within a subdivision and car park design. (video: 10 sec.)


Vehicle tracking

Use swept path analysis to speed planning and evaluate safety standards compliance. Animate vehicle paths with 2D or 3D animations using multiple camera angles. (video: 20 sec.)


Stormwater and sanitary sewer

Model storm and sanitary sewer systems. Analyse networks to resize pipes, reset inverts and compute energy and hydraulic grade lines according to HEC-22 standards.


Stormwater analysis

Integrate stormwater and wastewater analysis during planning and design of urban drainage systems, storm sewers and sanitary sewers. (video: 39 sec.)


Pressurised utilities

Lay out horizontal and vertical 3D design of pressure networks. Model deflected-curve pipe segments and use design and depth checks to meet project standards. (video: 11 sec.)


Design automation

Use a visual programming application to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks. Save these scripts in a library and reuse them as needed. (video: 1:49 min.)


Materials and quantities

Use materials and sectional or profile information to create reports for volumes along an alignment, comparing design and existing ground surfaces, and quantity takeoff. (video: 13 sec.)


Connect other Autodesk products for site design

Accelerate site layout, grading, and drainage

Quickly layout site design in Civil 3D based on rich context information from InfraWorks and ReCap Pro. (video 1:49 min.)

 


Improve site and building coordination

Improve coordination between architects and civil engineers with shared coordinate systems. (video 1:59 min.)
