BIM tools for civil engineering design
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering software tools support Building Information Modeling (BIM) and help reduce the time it takes to design, analyze, and implement changes.
What's new

Create and share data shortcuts for corridors.
Advanced roundabout design
Bring new roundabout designs into Civil 3D.
Feature line as corridor baseline
Use the corridor to design site features.
Corner cleanup for corridors
Easily model shapes at interior/exterior corners.
Pressure pipe content (enhanced)
New content for valves and pressure pipes.
Extract corridor feature line workflow
New ability to extract multiple feature lines.
"No Site" option for feature lines
