Features Include:

• On Schedule and on Budget
  With Civil 3d, the entire team works from the same up-to-date model so they stay coordinated throughout all project phases. Through a scalable approach ranging from xrefs and data shortcuts to integrated data management and version control.
• Communicate Winning Ideas
  With 3d visualization tools, Civil 3d makes it easy to create high-impact presentations that quickly communicate design intent to your audience.
• One Flexible Solution
  With Civil 3d, you have the flexibility to handle a broad range of project types, including land development, transportation, and environmental.
• Preliminary Design
  Pull in aerial imagery and terrain models from the Google Earth™ application; import geographic information system data such as road centerlines and wetlands boundaries; and then use the purpose-built design tools to lay out preliminary road and lot designs-all without hiring a survey crew.
• Surveying
  Survey functionality is fully integrated into Civil 3d so you have a consistent environment for all tasks, including direct import of raw survey data, least-squares adjustment, editing of survey observations, and automated creation of survey
  figures and surfaces.
• Surfaces
  Civil 3d supports large surface models while maintaining dynamic relationships to source data, including contours, breaklines, corridor models, and grading objects. Once generated, the surface can be used to display contours, catchment areas, flow paths, elevation and slope analysis, and 3d render-ready views.
• Grading
  Civil 3d includes powerful daylighting and grade projection tools that team members can use to generate surface models for any type of grading projection.
• Parcel Layout
  Generate parcels by converting existing AutoCAD® polylines or by using flexible layout tools to automate the process. AutoCAD Civil 3d uses a topology to manage parcels so that a change to one parcel is automatically reflected in neighbouring parcels.
• Corridor Modeling
  Corridor modeling combines horizontal and vertical geometric constraints with customizable cross sectional components called subassemblies to create a dynamic model of roads and other transportation systems. Civil 3d ships with hundreds of subassemblies ranging from travel lanes, sidewalks, and ditches to complex lane components. Or create your own to match any conceivable design standard.
• Criteria-Based Road Design
  Civil 3d enables you to quickly lay out plan and profile alignment geometry with local design criteria that you specify.
• Pipes
  Use rules-based tools to lay out sanitary and storm drainage systems.
• Mass Haul Diagrams
  Use Civil 3D to generate mass haul diagrams for analyzing the distance over which cut and fill can balance, the amount of material to be moved, the direction of movement, and the identification of borrow pits and dump sites.
• Storm Water Hydraulics and Hydrology
  Three new extensions are available to Civil 3D customers for storm water hydraulics and hydrology including storm sewer design, watershed analysis, detention pond modeling, and culvert analysis.
• Drafting Styles and Standards
  Civil 3d provides an extensive library of country specific CAD styles to control virtually every aspect of drawing display. Colors, linetypes, contour increments, labeling, and much more are fully controlled by styles.
• Production Drafting
  Automatically generate production plans such as fully annotated section sheets, profiles, grading plans, and more.
• Plan Production
  Civil 3d includes a comprehensive tool for the layout of plan and profile sheets. Fully integrated with the AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager, the Plans Production wizard automates the layout of sheets and matchlines along alignments, and generates plan and profile sheets based on the layout.
• Annotation
  Civil 3D annotation is derived directly from design objects, through external references, and updates automatically when the design changes.
• Reporting
  Civil 3d provides flexible, real-time, and extensible report generation directly in the software.
• Map Books
  Designed for use with the Sheet Set Manager, the map books feature lays out sheets across your entire project while generating key maps and legends for your entire sheet set. This capability is ideal for laying out utility maps, grading plans, or even cross section sheets.
• Design Review
  Design review often involves team members who are not CAD software users, yet who are vital to the project. Publishing to DWF™ format helps overcome these challenges by extending design review, digitally, to the entire team.
