Pros / Cons
- The cloud-based platform allows us to review designs, leave comments, and approve changes directly from a browser

- 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.
