AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® helps civil engineers optimize project performance with geospatial analysis to identify the best project site, stormwater analysis for more sustainable designs, quantity takeoff and dynamic earthwork calculations to optimize material usage, and 3D visualizations to better understand project impacts on environment.

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering software uses building information modeling (BIM) to help civil engineering project teams evaluate more what-if scenarios earlier in the design process and get transportation, land development, and environmental projects done faster and more efficiently.

Features

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software provides a range of features that help civil engineering project teams complete land development, transportation, and environmental projects faster and with improved accuracy. With built-in tools for geospatial and storm water analysis, quantity takeoff, and 3D visualization, civil engineers can explore more what-if scenarios and optimize project performance.

BIM for Street & Highway Design	Dynamic Quantity Takeoff & Earthwork Calculations	Visualization & Communication of Design Intent

Features include:

BIM for Street & Highway Design - Quickly lay out dynamic plan and profile alignment geometry with local design criteria that you specify.

Data Compatibility & Interoperability - easily import and export data between CAD and GIS platforms.

Dynamic Quantity Takeoff & Earthwork Calculation - mass haul and earthwork features allow contractors and engineers to plan the movements, amounts, and placements of material during construction.

Facilitate Team Coordination - stay better coordinated through all phases of the project by allowing your entire team to work from the same consistent, up-to-date model.

Intelligent Pipes Layout - Use rules-based tools to lay out sanitary and storm drainage systems. Make changes to pipes and structures using graphical or numerical input, and conduct interference checks.

Land Desktop Project Support - ease the migration for customers moving from Land Desktop to AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Stormwater Management - analyze pre- and post-development hydrologic conditions using integrated hydraulic and hydrology tools. Analyze your AutoCAD Civil 3D pipe networks models, culverts, and channels using hydrographs to make better and more sustainable stormwater design decisions.

Surfaces, Grading & Dynamic Relationships - terrain shaping tools that support large-surface models while maintaining dynamic relationships to source data, including contours, breaklines, corridor models, and grading objects.

Surveying & Coordinate Systems - provides a more consistent design environment where points, survey figures, and surfaces can be used throughout the design process without having to manually translate coordinate systems or transfer data from a survey package to your civil engineering design software.

Styles, CAD Standards & Production Drafting - Use the extensive library of country-specific CAD styles available to control virtually every aspect of drawing display such as colors, linetypes, contour increments, and robust labeling.

Visualization & Communication of Design Intent - Create simple and more effective visualizations by publishing model information to Google Earth or by creating 3D DWF files, to communicate design intent to nontechnical audiences.

Geospatial Analysis Integration - allows for identification of the optimal solution early in the overall process, helping to save time and money. Leverage imagery and terrain models from Google Earth™ mapping services and other sources to visualize the ecosystem of a project.
