What you can do with Civil 3D

Survey

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

Learn more
Terrain modeling

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

Learn more
Corridor modeling

Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for designs such as residential roads, curbs, and sidewalks, swales within a subdivision, and parking lot design. (video: 10 sec.)

Learn more
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.)

Learn more
Stormwater and sanitary sewer

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

Learn more
Stormwater analysis

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

Learn more
Pressurized 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.)

Learn more
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.)
