Civil 3D 2021 - Single-User Subscription

Civil 3D civil engineering design software supports BIM (Building Information Modeling) with integrated features to improve drafting, design, and construction documentation.

Collaborate and manage data across teams

What's New

Dynamo Player
Easily locate and run Dynamo scripts directly in Civil 3D. Create and share scripts for design automation tasks.

Features

Collaboration for Civil 3D
Securely access Civil 3D files, data shortcuts, and xrefs from multiple locations and companies, all in a common data environment.

Connector for ArcGIS
Streamline the flow of data between ArcGIS and Civil 3D. Access the latest data and keep features information up to date.

Dynamo for Civil 3D
Use the Dynamo visual scripting environment to develop routines that automate repetitive design tasks and expedites workflows.

Bridge design
Coordinate workflows more efficiently across the various disciplines working on complex bridge design projects.

Pressure network
Use enhanced tools for more efficient pressure pipe network layout and design.

New transit and rail design features
Expanded toolkit for transit and rail design including spirals, dynamic alignments, profiles, and superelevation design.

More features

Surface modeling

• Point clouds - Use and display point cloud data.
• Surface creation from point cloud data - Create TIN surfaces from point cloud data.
• Design surface creation - Use tools to create dynamic surfaces.

Site and survey

• Parcel design - Automated parcel design tools.
• Grading - Terrain models for grading.
• Relative elevation feature lines - Obtain feature lines from a surface or relative to a surface, so feature lines update with changes to the surface.

Corridor modeling

• Corridor design - Tools for corridor modeling.
• Advanced roundabout design - Bring new roundabout designs into Civil 3D.
• Extract corridor feature line workflow - Easily extract multiple feature lines.

Storm and sanitary

• Gravity pipe networks - Tools for sanitary and storm drainage systems.
• Storm and Sanitary Analysis software - Dynamic models enable stormwater management.
• Analyze gravity networks - Measure pipes and inverts to HEC-22 2009 standards.

Plan production and documentation

• Plan and profile sheet generation - Create plan/plan and profile/profile sheets by including multiple plan or profile views on a single sheet.
• QTO and earthwork calculations - Extract and report material volumes and analyze quantities from materials and sectional or profile information.
• Construction documentation - Generate annotated production plans.
