|
Surveying |
| |
|
Import aerial imagery and terrain models from the Google Earth application, geographic information system data; and then use design tools to lay out preliminary road and lot designs. |
|
|
|
Survey functionality is fully integrated into Civil 3D so that there is a more consistent environment for all tasks, including direct import of raw survey data, leastsquares adjustment, editing of survey observations, and automated creation of survey figures and surfaces. |

Surfaces and Grading |
|
4. |
|
Corridor Modeling |
| |
|
Build surfaces from traditional survey data, such as points and breaklines. Utilize large data sets from aerial photogrammetry, laser scanning and digital elevation models using the surface reduction tools. Use the powerful daylighting and grade projection tools to generate surface models for any type of grading projection. |
|
|
|
Combine horizontal and vertical geometry with customizable cross sectional components to create a parametrically defined, dynamic 3D model of roads and other transportation systems. Use the subassemblies included or create your own based on a design standard. |

Criteria-Based Geometric Design |
|
6. |
|
Stormwater Analysis and Simulation |
| |
|
Quickly lay out plan and profile alignment geometry with design criteria based on government specifications or customized client needs. Design constraints alert users when standards violations occur, so that modifications can be made. |
|
|
|
Design and analyze stormwater systems with integrated simulation tools for collection systems, ponds, and culverts. Prepare more accurate construction documents, including hydraulic and energy grade lines, to assist in evaluating the design and helping to ensure public safety. |

Point Clouds |
|

|
Production Drafting |
| |
|
Create point clouds using data from LIDAR. Import and visualize point cloud information; stylize point data based on LAS classifications, RGB, elevation, and intensity; and use data to create surfaces, perform site surveys, and digitize as-built features for civil engineering design projects. |
|
|
|
Automatically generate production plans such as fully annotated section sheets, profiles, grading plans, and more. Drafting can be generated across multiple drawings by using xrefs and data shortcuts. If the model changes, you can quickly synchronize all production sheets. |

Annotation |
|
10. |
|
Reporting |
| |
|
Annotation is derived directly from design objects or through external references, and updates automatically when the design changes. |
|
|
|
Flexible, real-time, and extensible report generation comes directly from the model. Reports update dynamically, providing quick feedback as changes are made. |
