Infrastructure Design
Why Civil Engineers Use the AEC Collection
Unlock your best infrastructure designs with BIM and CAD software.
Work with connected tools for concepting, design, analysis, and optimization to better meet design requirements and enhance client satisfaction.
Improve project collaboration and performance with a cloud-based common data environment.
Coordinate effectively from design to construction to reduce risks, minimize RFIs, and ensure constructability.
Transportation
Connect multidiscipline design workflows. Establish collaborative practices across disciplines, coordinate horizontal design and vertical structures, and drive more positive outcomes on transportation projects.
Design, optimize, and document roadway, bridge, and rail projects
Lay out conceptual roads, analyze traffic, and visualize designs
Integrate vertical structures with horizontal infrastructure designs
Generate accurate existing conditions with point cloud or mesh
Create 2D CAD designs that you can bring into Revit
Simplify collaboration with a cloud-based common data environment
Deliver comprehensive road and highway designs more efficiently with the AEC Collection.

Design water treatment plant piping and structures with connected drafting, modeling, and analysis tools. (video: 2:05 min.)
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).(video: 1:58 min.)
Autodesk Docs for civil engineers
Connect infrastructure design workflows in the cloud for teams using Civil 3D, Revit, AutoCAD, InfraWorks, and other tools in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection.
