AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) solution for civil engineering design and documentation.
AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineering professionals working on transportation, land development and water projects to stay co-ordinated and to explore design options, analyse project performance and deliver consistent, higher-quality documentation more easily and efficiently, all within a familiar AutoCAD® environment. Perform geospatial analysis and extend Civil 3D model data for stormwater analysis and interactive 3D simulations and visualisations. You can also generate quantity takeoff information and support automated machine guidance during construction. Civil 3D helps you to gain the competitive advantage of BIM to deliver more innovative project solutions.
Survey
Civil 3D provides inbuilt survey tools that assist in the transfer of your survey data from the total station to the drawing.
Design
Modelling design and analysis tools are provided to create an efficient and cost productive design.
Impress your clients with a thorough evaluation of more design alternatives in less time and deliver better value to differentiate your services from your competitors.
Civil 3D provides tools for, site grading, pipe design and corridor modelling (used for designing paths, roads, retaining walls etc) and because of the flexibility of these tools a range of tasks in all Civil sectors can be accomplished.
Visualisation
Smart design isn’t everything. You need to sell your ideas to multiple stakeholders, including the client, the public, and review boards. With the 3D visualisation tools included in Civil 3D, it is easy to create high impact presentations that quickly communicate design intent to your audience.
Reporting tools
During and after the design stage you may need to deliver volumetrics and quantity takeoff information for the project to be accurately costed by the quantity surveyor; alignment reports to be checked and delivered to the site engineer and pipe schedules for checking and costing.
Drawings
With AutoCAD software at its core, drafters and technicians feel instantly at home with Civil 3D.
Much of the repetitive, time consuming drawing work such as cross-sections and long-sections is automated and because they are dynamically linked to the model, any revision to the design only needs to be updated in one place and drawings are instantaneously updated.
Setting Out
Finally, when the design is complete the model design data can be exported directly to survey equipment for setting out on site or by supporting automated machine guidance during construction.
Summary
Use AutoCAD Civil 3D to deliver your civil and landscape engineering projects faster, smarter and more accurately.
