AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008
A complete solution for the whole Project Cycle
Import data, create a terrain model and develop a design model. Then automatically generate drawings, volume measurements and design schedules. The finished design model can be exported back to the field ready for setting out all from within one package.
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 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, drapfters 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.
Summary
Use AutoCAD Civil 3D to deliver your civil and landscape engineering projects faster, smarter and more accurately.
