Start thinking in 3d.
A Better Way of Working Working with AutoCAD Civil 3d software is quite simply a better way of designing, analysing and documenting civil engineering projects. ® Civil 3D does cut time off the design process, but its real power comes in change and coordination. Using Civil 3D means I can stop worrying about changes and focus on getting the best design possible to the client.
Better Surveying, Design and Analysis From surveying to design and advanced analysis, AutoCAD Civil 3d streamlines and accelerates workflows with purpose-built tools for automating time-consuming tasks and predicting project performance. With Civil 3d, design and analysis changes are automatically reflected in the documentation, so you can immediately understand the impact of changes, evaluate more alternatives and achieve higher-quality results faster.
Pipes Use rules-based tools to lay out sanitary and storm drainage systems. Make changes to pipes and structures using graphical or numerical input and conduct interference checks. Plot and complete final draughting of the pipe network in plan, profile and section views, and share pipe network information, such as material and size, with external analysis applications.
Better Documentation Creating and delivering construction documentation is the final step for most civil engineering projects. It is also one of the most time-consuming, error-prone phases of a project. Draughting Styles and Standards Civil 3d provides an extensive library of countryspecific CAD styles to control virtually every aspect of drawing display. Colours, linetypes, contour increments, labelling and much more are fully controlled by styles.
AutoCAD Civil 3D makes designing much faster. We set a couple of in-house styles and build one computer model. Everything is matched automatically. Compared to other tools we can make alternative designs and make changes much faster. Only Autodesk offers this technology. — Jan de Boer Project Manager Grontmij Autodesk Ltd. 1 Meadow Gate Avenue Farnborough Business Park Farnborough Hampshire GU14 6FG United Kingdom United Kingdom Phone 0800 917 7766 www.autodesk.co.
