Civil 3D Insights

What is Civil 3D?

Autodesk Civil 3D is a civil engineering design and documentation software. It's primarily used for land development, transportation, and water projects. Civil engineers, designers, and drafters use it to design, analyze, and document civil infrastructure projects. Common uses include road design, site grading, pipeline design, and stormwater management. It supports Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.
