After the use of Civil 3D, my infrastructure and topography projects have become more simplified and streamlined, since the implementation of BIM features makes the software itself very comprehensive and compatible with numerous other project platforms.

Civil 3D is an essential software when it comes to designing infrastructure works and also in pure and applied topography projects. Its features range from the simplicity of the level curves to extremely elaborate projects such as an urbanization project. With it, it is possible to carry out projects in an automated way, saving time and adding value to the final product. In addition, everything has all the features of the already traditional and renowned autocad, using the fusion of two great tools.

Autodesk products are undoubtedly highly acclaimed, however the products have a high price when it comes to small designers, the platform could provide more amortized plans when it comes to users with little volume of projects or recent graduates.

I have been using this software for more than 2 years for my road works and various networks (VRD)

What I like the most about this software are the plan drawings, the gradient and especially the drawing of the different profiles for road projects. Unlike other software, civil 3D makes exceptional plan views

Civil 3D is very complicated to handle and weighs a lot, which makes it very difficult to work with low capacity computers

Overall my experience with the software has been positive, I have used it for over 3 years and it has helped me to accomplish my work duties and tasks. It is a very complete and comprehensive software, you can always keep learning about it.

This tool is perfect for people who work with point clouds, streets, topographies and others. The software is intuitive and on the net there are thousands of forums with help to develop projects. From sketch drawing to street planning it is the perfect software for civil engineers and structural architects.

I could say that the function that I liked the least is the integration with some extensions. Also the software could be even easier to use and much more descriptive with its functions.

In most cases, I utilize Autodesk Civil 3D for pipeline and structure design because of its accuracy and streamlined design process. Designing pipelines can be complicated and very time-consuming. Hence, I was glad that Civil 3D came to my aid as most of these minor pipeline details cannot be properly done on Autocad.

I think it's really fun using Civil 3D because it can be connected to other Autodesk software, which helps me to switch accordingly when necessary in my projects. Also, Civil 3D made life really easy for me by simplifying the process in Pipe Network Part Replacement. Now, I can easily analyze the gravity flow and get size recommendations. After years of using Civil 3D, I can now properly understand the pressure parts in my designs.

Still, very minimum tutorials are available online regarding the use of Autodesk Civil 3D with Navisworks. I believe Autodesk can make such tutorials available so that the time required to fix design challenges could be minimized.

Civil 3D is used daily to create design drawings and analyze survey data to inform our design decisions. It is also used for volume calculations and shapefile generation. It is overall an great piece of software to use and is value for money.

Civil 3D is the most versatile AutoCAD software in my opinion. It has a whole host of features that can accomplish so many things. With four main workspaces to choose from, you can configure the program to function based on what tasks you are doing. The Drafting and Annotation workspace is just like AutoCAD integrated into Civil 3D with all the functionality. Planning and Analysis is great for setting up you site environment with the relevant data. 3D modelling is useful to visualize concepts. The best part is all of this can be achieved in one file.

It is understandable that the only drawback is that there is a steep learning curve. With so much functionality, it is a bit hard to get a grip on how to use some of the features in the software.

Autodesk Civil 3D is a powerful software solution designed specifically for civil engineers, providing a comprehensive suite of tools for design, drafting, and analysis of 3D models. While it may training and is more expensive than some alternatives, it offers extensive resources and integration options to make the design process more efficient and effective.

1. Provides a comprehensive suite of tools for civil engineers, including design, drafting, and analysis capabilities.2. Offers intelligent objects that allow engineers to create and analyze complex 3D models with ease.3. Includes a wide range of customizable templates for common projects, such as roadways and pipelines.4. Seamlessly integrates with other Autodesk products, as well as with third-party applications.5. Offers extensive documentation and support resources for users of all skill levels.

Licenses can be expensive, particularly for smaller firms or individual users. Performance issues with very large or complex models.

This tool has gone hand in hand with my growth as a civil engineer. Great design tool.

In comparison to competitors, Civil 3D has a straightforward UI and short learning curve. Civil 3D has so many tools that I use daily, yet there are even more tools that I haven't even touched. In addition to drafting tools, Civil 3D's 3D tools saves a lot of time vs doing it by hand such as pipe networks and grading tools. There are also a lot of resources available online and very detailed tutorials. There is also a great online community.

Geographic Coordinate Systems are the base of every drawing so it would be great if Civil3D had a straightforward built in tool to transform drawings between coordinates systems (similer to the tool that Microstation has)

Great for solving complex engineering / modelling problems, but room for improved workflow and speed. To this day, I still don't know of an alternative piece of software that does everything that Civil 3D can do. There are specialist pieces of software like 12D and OpenRoads but none that offer a all-in-one package that Civil 3D has. So it very much dominates the market.

From the ability to create surface models, alignments, corridors, dynamically change designs... there are plenty of reasons to love Civil 3D!

I really dislike the slow performance on large models and the way in which many of the menus to configure items are "hidden". It can be a difficult learning curve due to the sheer amount of features.

I do design, analysis, reporting and 3D visualization processes with this program.

It creates intelligent relationships between objects, objects are dynamically updated as soon as there is a change in design, all Civil 3D objects are linked to each other. The profiles are updated automatically as soon as a change is made on the route.

It only serves in the field of civil engineering and cannot be coordinated between other disciplines. In this case, conflicts may occur.

Over experience is nice and really like the software.

Civil 3D excellent Design Tool for designing roads and highway and very easy to use.

Sometimes the added features like assemblies are not added properly and software behaves abnormally

Excelente, recomiendo inmensamente este software con toda su amplia gama de herramientas. Se encuentra bastante información al respecto en todos los idiomas

Amplia funcionalidad en diferentes tareas correspondientes al diseño e implementación de tareas propias de la ingeniería en diferentes aspectos y la construcción en general

Dependiendo del equipo de trabajo, puede ponerse un poco lento en el momento de tener todo un proyecto modelado

Excelente, aporta a nuestra empresa un valor agregado en el cual entregamos productos a nuestros clientes de calidad

Es un software muy intuitivo que permite generar modelos rápidos y precisos

El precio me parece una desventaja actualmente

I have been using Civil 3D for more than 7 years now. I use it for Roadway, highway, bridges , buildings and infrastructure design. Its very basic software that allows millions of customizing options for infrastructure design. There is no limit for this software. This software can do anything that user can imagine.

Civil 3D does not have an option where you xan customize the workspace to specific state standards. For example it can be modified to recognize standards to New York State's Department of transportation requirements to aid the design process. Other software like OpenRoads Designer allows this functionality.

Making Geometric Design, Drainage Design, Catchment area calculation, Making as built drawings, assisting in the construction work, for surveying...

Importing inputs, editing and setting capabilities, very user friendly, 3D and 2D display of the design, amazing in creating assemblies and daylights/side slops, having four work spaces...

I have observed some problem while making triangulation,

Very good tools to design potable, Tse, storm network

Best software to design infra structure and presentation

Creating surface which can be used in road design as well as sewage and storm networh

Lo uso diario en el trabajo, es indispensable para cualquier ingeniero civil

Es dinámico tiene todo lo que se requiere para trabajos de ingeniería mas aun para explanaciones generar cortes entre otros de carreteras, líneas de saneamiento y mas.

El precio es un poco elevado, aunque el software se lo merece por todo lo que contribuye para el desarrollo de un trabajo

A very robust software with a lot of features and functions that can help develop civil and survey related projects.

The functionality. The dynamic nature of all the features and the ease of modifying existing models.

Some features don't work as expected. Support almost always ends in a google search and if that fails there really isn't anything further you can do.

The capacity to construct 3D surfaces and curves and edit and modify them. Good user interface. If you've already used AutoCAD software, the user interface is almost the same.

A single PDF can occasionally lag and take a long time to publish. Although the file was large for a project I worked on, it took me 30 minutes per sheet, but publishing these pdfs took time.

Civil 3d is the best software than others to design different civil engineering works.

I can not least the negative impact of civil 3d software.

I really benefited from civil 3D especially the last 5 months . It made me deal with my graduation project easily and i was able to a professional output design which impressed my colleagues . Thanks for this application

One of the best things is to edit on my graduation project ( road project ) and easy to view to my doctors in university also manage GIS data along connecting the design Function and tools make it easy to deal

Sometimes it crashes while processing and opening please work on this issue

Fue un program muy adecuado para realizar planos de desniveles y curvasde isolineas, ademas permite realiza modelos dimensiones de elevaciones que pueden ser exportable a diferentes tipos para integración.

Es una excelente herramienta para realizar un modelo DEM de elevacion con el cual se puede realizar una visualizacion grafica. Tiene muchas herraminetas de inclucion de para opciones gis. Permite crear mapas de desniveles.

Ess un programa muy pesado y consumo muchos recursos para el equipo haciendo que se un software muy complicado de operar dentro de un equipo no optimo.

Civil 3D is a great program with many functions and is very user friendly for the most part.

Civil 3D has a tendency to crash while working in it, even with files of smaller sizes.

Adoro o Civil 3D para analisar terrenos de obras e fazer vários tipos de análise. Também é essencial para calcular vários fatores relacionados com o volume de terreno em obras.

Um dos recursos que mais aprecio é a capacidade do software analisar terrenos, mediante a criação de superfícies. É essencial para o cálculo de volume de terras de aterro e escavação em obra.

Muitas das ferramentas que mais aprecio no Civil 3D implicam seguir diversos passos, que só a prática no software permite tornar o trabalho mais rápido. Talvez o que falta é tornar estas ferramentas ainda mais intuitivas.

I find it a fundamental tool to have while working in AutoCAD if we want to design a new space like a park, garden or street. It's easy to pivot from 2D drawing to 3D and we can have a 3D result in no time at all

I like how quick it is to create custom terrains and volumes and seeing in 3D. It allows a better way to design and comprehend the space

I think it's a little tricky to construct a custom 3D design for new users, maybe if it would be possible to incorporate more tutorials in the software it would be easier

Civil 3D is a mixed bag. In one hand it's great and you can achieve amazing things with it, but in another - to be able to do so, requires a lot of work, and that's not necessarily engineering work - it's configuration.

Ability to quickly create 3D corridors when the geometry is relatively easy. 3D outputs (solids) are easy to work with for clash detection etc. Referencing, importing and working with different disciplines is fine. A lot of good aspects of AutoCAD were carried over into the Civil 3D. Lately: addition of Dynamo.

Huge amount of day-one configuration: styles, subassemblies, templates. Civil 3D needs to be shipped with more work-ready content, users shouldn't be expected to build that much themselves.
