autocad® civil 3d 2011
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 software, the building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering, helps project teams explore transportation, land development, and environmental projects digitally before they are built. Using Civil 3D, civil engineers can better evaluate more what-if scenarios and optimize project performance with geospatial and stormwater analysis. The creation of more coordinated and consistent information helps enable delivery of higher-quality documentation and visualizations. The more accurate 3D models can be used to generate quantity takeoff information and supports automated machine guidance during construction. BIM helps civil engineers minimize errors and omissions, shorten production time, deliver more innovative projects, and ultimately, gain a competitive advantage.
The Model
Civil 3D software uses a dynamic engineering model that delivers proven power to complete transportation, site, sewer, storm drain, and subdivision projects up to 50 percent faster.* Surfaces, cross sections, profi les, annotations, and more are dynamically linked and update automatically, reducing costly errors and omissions. Evaluate multiple alternatives quickly, make smarter decisions, minimize manual edits, and
output updated plans automatically. It’s design and drafting in one step.
The Team
One-at-a-time access can work for small projects, but for most everything else, you need parallel access by multiple team members. Civil 3D introduces collaborative design and drafting for smart, protected sharing of data throughout the project cycle, from initial survey and design to plan production, field stakeout, and grading. Now the entire team stays coordinated and gets what they need without having to wait for the next person to finish.
