Civil 3D features for road and motorway design
Survey
Download, create, analyse and adjust survey data. Streamline the transfer of field-captured data to the office. (video: 16 sec.)
Corridor modelling
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, optimised with hydraulics/hydrology analysis. (video: 10 sec.)
Road rehabilitation
Automate assembly generation for your rehab corridor design model. Optimise mill and overlay to balance costs vs performance. (video: 57 sec.)
Design automation
Use visual programming to generate reusable scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks. (video: 1:28 min.)
Materials and quantities
Use materials information to create reports for volumes along an alignment, comparing design and existing ground surfaces and quantity take-off. (video: 20 sec.)
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.)
Connect other Autodesk products for road network design
Deliver carriageway projects from concept to design
Design in-context and accelerate detail design with Civil 3D, ReCap Pro, InfraWorks and Dynamo. (video 2.42 min.)
Work with more connected bridge workflows
Connect Civil 3D road geometry to parametric bridge modelling tools in InfraWorks and customised Revit structures. (video: 2.56 min.)
“Pipelines intersect with each other heavily, so engineers needed absolute accuracy to optimise design and analysis.”
— Hao Fu, Civil Engineer, Chongqing Architectural Design Institute of China
“Our vision is to transform ourselves from a pure construction company into a company that uses, evaluates and manages digital data …”
— Daniel Krause, Head of Digital Construction, Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG
