Autodesk Civil 3D
The Autodesk Civil 3D software provides civil engineering design and documentation software that is integrated with Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows on many types of civil infrastructure project types, including roads, highways, rail, airports, and water.
CAD Gulf LLC is an authorized Autodesk gold partner of Autodesk products. The Autodesk civil 3d software helps civil infrastructure professionals improve project delivery, maintain more consistent data and processes, and respond faster to changes in projects. Further, with the help of specific tools and customizable design standards, users can streamline time-consuming tasks like intersections, roundabouts, corridors, parcel layouts, and pipe grading.
It ensures data exchange between Autodesk 3ds Max (Civil View), InfraWorks, Revit (IFC), and the Infrastructure Map-Server. Using Civil 3D, designers can collaborate with each other.
What makes Autodesk Civil 3D different?
- Make designs for roads, land development, and other civil construction projects.
- Enhance decision making and project delivery by integrating simulation, visualization, and water analysis tools.
- Using collaboration features within civil infrastructure projects will help you increase team coordination and streamline workflow.
- Managing GIS data and combining it with design data with task-based tools.
- Consistent project standards and project-based structuring of drawings.
- Civil 3D uses intelligent civil objects that create interconnected designs, along with configurable styles to conform to nearly any graphical standard.
- Improve your productivity and quality with design-to-documentation connections.
