What is Autodesk Civil 3D?

Autodesk Civil 3D design software empowers civil engineers to meet complex infrastructure challenges in a 3D model-based environment.

  • Accelerate design and documentation

  • Advance design automation

  • Improve collaboration and coordination

Why use Civil 3D?

Improve design operations

Improve productivity and quality with a dynamic 3D model-based design environment and design-driven documentation environment.

Streamline collaboration

Access real-time updates and share with other Autodesk software for design, analysis and construction.

Enhance data exchange

Meet complex design challenges through interoperability with other software using the common IFC format(s).

Explore Civil 3D by project type

Civil 3D includes purpose-built tools for critical civil engineering disciplines. See how Civil 3D can help you design and build better roads and motorways, sites and rail projects.

What you can do with Autodesk Civil 3D

Improve design quality with Autodesk Construction Cloud (video: 1 min.)

Streamline your design and documentation workflows

Deliver design and construction documentation for road and motorway, site design, rail and bridge projects. Reduce overall design time with faster modelling for surfaces, corridors, terrain and more.

Understand existing conditions and directly integrate to your GIS. (video: 2:35 mins)

Gain efficiencies with seamless GIS Integration

Streamline the process of incorporating geographical data into your designs, ensure accurate geolocation of assets, analyse for planning and visualise contextually your designs.

Collaborate in real time (video: 1:36 min.)

Improve project collaboration

Enable designers to author, share, and update design projects in a central data environment. Make real-time updates at any phase of the project lifecycle to share with different teams.

Do more with Civil 3D extensions

A separate installation or subscription to another Autodesk product may be required.

Grading Optimisation for Civil 3D

Use Grading Optimisation to automate time-consuming grading tasks, explore alternatives to find optimal solutions and return to Civil 3D to complete the detailed design. (video: 1:59 min.)
