Other Highlights

Grading Optimization for Civil 3D

Grading Optimization automates time-consuming grading tasks. Assess grading designs based on project constraints, explore alternatives to determine the best solution, and return the optimized grading plan to Civil 3D for detailed design (exclusive to Civil 3D in the AEC Collection).
