Civil engineering design software
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering design software is a civil design and documentation solution that supports Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. Using AutoCAD Civil 3D, infrastructure professionals can better understand project performance, maintain more consistent data and processes, and respond faster to change.
AutoCAD Civil 3D features
BIM tools for civil engineering
View AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering software videos and images. Tools support Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes and help reduce the time it takes to design, analyze, and implement changes. Evaluate design options and optimize project performance. Automate time-consuming tasks to streamline project workflows.
Efficient civil design
Perform faster design iterations with an intelligent, 3D model-based application that dynamically updates related civil design elements when changes are made. Streamline time-consuming tasks for road and highway design, parcel design, and pressure and gravity network design.
Corridor design (enhanced)
Tools for corridor modeling.
Pressure pipe networks
Tools for pressure network creation.
Gravity pipe networks
Tools for sanitary and storm drainage systems.
Grading
Terrain models for grading.
Parcel design
Automated parcel layout tools.
Bridge modeling
With Infrastructure Design Suite Premium and Ultimate edition Subscription.
Geotechnical modeling

Improve your civil drafting and documentation
With AutoCAD Civil 3D civil drafting and documentation features, construction documentation is a by-product of the design. Changes to design elements are captured in construction documentation, minimizing manual updates. Connecting design and documentation helps you boost productivity and deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation.
Drafting standards
Use an extensive library of CAD drafting styles.
Construction documentation (enhanced)
Generate annotated production plans.
Map production
Use cartographic mapping functionality.
Reports and tables
Use dynamic tables for linework.
GPS surveying tools for faster processing
Today, traditional survey workflows are being abandoned for faster, more accurate ways of conducting survey work. GPS surveying and data collection tools in AutoCAD Civil 3D software can help you update your processes for better project delivery.
Data access and exchange (enhanced)
Read, write, and convert data between widely used formats.
Surface modeling
Use tools for dynamic surface creation.
Base map creation
Streamline mapping and surveying workflows.
Reality capture (enhanced)
Use point clouds to digitize as-built features.
Integrated stormwater and geospatial analysis
Connect visualization and analysis with design using AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Evaluate project performance more predictably and make more informed decisions using visualization, simulation and analysis integrated with the design process for stormwater management, geospatial analysis, and model analysis.
Geospatial analysis
