Autodesk Civil 3D for infrastructure design

Autodesk Civil 3D for BIM infrastructure, terrain modeling and road design workflows.

The Autodesk 3D Design Software for Your BIM Project

Autodesk Civil 3D is a professional 3D construction software for civil engineering and supports your BIM project. With Civil 3D, you can design, engineer, visualize and document your infrastructure plans.

Improve Your Infrastructure Planning With the 3D Construction Software Civil 3D

With Autodesk Civil 3D, you use a leading BIM-based design and documentation software for modern civil engineering and infrastructure projects. The powerful solution helps you efficiently plan, model, and document complex infrastructure projects while maintaining transparency throughout the entire project lifecycle. Intelligent 3D modeling, automated documentation, and dynamically linked data improve collaboration between design, construction, and operations.

Civil 3D streamlines workflows for surface modeling, terrain and road design, as well as stormwater and wastewater analysis. Changes made within the model are automatically reflected across related plans and documentation, reducing errors and significantly accelerating coordination processes. This enables project teams to maintain a clear overview of up-to-date data and make informed decisions at every stage.

Developed specifically for engineering firms, contractors, and infrastructure planners, Autodesk Civil 3D supports demanding infrastructure projects from concept through detailed design to execution. Integration into BIM workflows enhances collaboration and establishes the foundation for fully digital project delivery.
