Use AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering design and documentation software to support Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. Improve project delivery, maintain more consistent data, and respond faster to changes.

Desktop Subscription gives you access to the latest updates and releases, 1-on-1 web support, priority support in the forums, flexible licensing, and more.

Features:

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2016 civil engineering software extends the value of your model with new workflows and productivity tools for civil infrastructure. With a focus on optimizing performance, the new features offer pressure pipe functionality, improved survey, base map creation, and new rail track design features. And, a host of transportation features have been enhanced, including corridor composition workflows, 3D navigation and interrogation, and surface boundary definition. Streamline your civil engineering projects with AutoCAD Civil 3D software.

Civil design

#Corridor design (enhanced)
Use corridor modeling functionality to create intelligent models for road and highway design and other transportation systems.

Capabilities:

* Select linear corridor targets from AutoCAD xrefs.
* Extract solids from corridor shapes.
* Directly use alignments, profiles, survey figures, feature lines, and AutoCAD polylines to define corridor transitions and elevation constraints.
* Use the interactive intersection builder to create complex models through intersecting roads that remain dynamic as your designs change.
* Build intelligent custom components using Autodesk Subassembly Composer.
* Use corridor models to create proposed surfaces, earthwork volumes, material totals, drafted cross sections, and more.

Enhancements include:

* Corridor frequency (target and baseline).
* Corridor sampling.
* Retain corridor targets when substituting a subassembly.
* Subsassembly Composer now includes support for “Voids” in shapes, Axis of Rotation, and Rail Cant.

Pressure pipe networks

AutoCAD Civil 3D includes modeling tools built for creating pressure pipe networks.

* Add fitting and appurtenance content.
* Model pressure networks in both 2D and 3D.
* Use 3D pressure networks to check for interferences between components.
* Create networks from polylines, survey figures, and alignments.
* Share pressure network models throughout the project with data shortcut support.

Gravity pipe networks

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 drafting of the pipe network in plan, profile, and section views.
* Share pipe network information, such as invert elevations, size, slope, and type, with Storm and Sanitary Analysis software (included in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 and all editions of Infrastructure Design Suite 2015).

Grading

Terrain models maintain dynamic relationships with related elements such as breaklines, corridor models, and grading objects.

* Use surfaces as references to create profiles, sections, and corridors. Changes to the source data result in automatic updates, helping you to save time and minimize errors.
* Use powerful daylighting and grade-projection tools to generate surface models for several types of grading projections.
* Develop surfaces with easy-to-use graphical and tabular AutoCAD Civil 3D grading manipulation tools.
* Help solve design problems using AutoCAD Civil 3D grading capabilities that remain dynamically linked to corridor models and alignments or profiles.
