How to Build Your Own Autodesk Civil 3D

Model roundabouts according to defined standards. Build your roundabouts into existing corridor models, enabling your design to update automatically when you make changes to the corridor alignments

Efficiently use assemblies and subassemblies to establish the basic building blocks of a roadway or other alignment-based design

Coordinate workflows more efficiently across the various disciplines working on complex bridge design projects

Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for highways and roads. Build rail track corridor models, incorporating designs for switches, turnouts, and cant calculations

Create and edit corridor transition when you want to transition a parameter in a subassembly from one value to another. More controls have been added to allow easy movement of transitions and rearranging the order of transitions

Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for highways, roads, and rail tracks

Visualize and analyze subsurface data and easily utilize that data directly in the Civil 3D design model

Efficiently draw 2D and 3D models of utility systems, such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and more

Allow engineers to set up and create complex and multi-base corridors faster and with greater efficiency

Modify the level of details you'd like to see in your surface workflows. Engineers have the option to reduce the surface level of detail or render high surface details

Perform a variety of stormwater management tasks, including storm sewer design, watershed analysis, detention pond modeling, and culvert, channel, and inlet analysis

Conduct surface-related analysis, including contour, directions, elevations, slopes, slope-arrows, watersheds, and water drop path

Use the Volumes Dashboard to calculate and analyze volume surfaces and bounded areas within those surfaces

Analyze how water flows along and off a surface to better determine drain targets and watersheds

Create professional-quality visualizations

Five new Esri basemaps are available under Geolocation to help designers and engineers visualize terrain, streets, and structures

Bring context modeling and conceptual design into your design process. Make better decisions with a real-world context of existing conditions, more efficiently consider alternatives, and complete detailed design and documentation in Civil 3D

Streamline the process of incorporating geographical data into your designs, ensure accurate geolocation of assets, analyze for planning, and contextually visualize your designs

Use visual programming to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks, including electrification and signaling

Use the Dynamo visual scripting environment to develop routines that automate repetitive design tasks and expedite workflows

Automate the process for conducting grading design studies for land areas based on established design project criteria

Enable designers to author, share, and update design projects in a central data environment. Make real-time updates at any phase of the project lifecycle to share with different teams

Create and share data shortcuts for corridors

Create plan-only, plan and profile, profile-only, and section sheets by including multiple plan or profile views on a single sheet

Quickly create construction documents from drawings, including plan/profile, plan(s)-only, profile(s)-only, and section sheets

Generate 3D models of pressure networks, such as water transmission systems. More controls have been added for layout and editing workflows including merging pressure networks, DREF sync improvements, and party symbol display

Lay out horizontal and vertical pressure network designs; model deflected-curve pipe segments and use design and depth checks
