CIVIL 3D FOR ROAD AND HIGHWAY DESIGN
Deliver optimized designs and documentation
Accelerate design, optimization, and documentation of road network and bridge projects. Work with an intelligent model-based approach for surface and corridor modeling, drainage layout, and plans production.
Road design
What you can do with Civil 3D

Corridor modeling
Create dynamic, flexible 3D models of road corridors. Simulate driving through the corridor and visually evaluate sight distance and influence analysis. (video: 35 sec.)
-

Intersection design
Create dynamic models of 3-way (T-shaped) or 4-way intersections. Model roundabouts according to standards that blend with existing or planned roads. (video: 10 sec.)
-

Drainage design
Perform storm water management tasks, including storm sewer design. Define pipeline paths, optimized with hydraulics/hydrology analysis. (video: 10 sec.)
-

Design automation
Use visual programming to generate re-usable scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks. (video: 1:28 min.)
-
![Video: Silent screencast that shows a roadway volume report being generated in Civil 3D]()
Materials and quantities
Use materials information to create reports for volumes along an alignment, comparing design and existing ground surfaces, and quantity takeoff. (video: 20 sec.)
-
![Video: Silent screencast showing tools for creating plan production sheets for a road in Civil 3D]()
Plan production and documentation
Create plan production sheets that automatically display station ranges of alignments and profiles that are based on predefined areas along an alignment. (video: 24 sec.)
Workflows
Connect other Autodesk products for road network design.
