Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Civil 3D
Most of the entry and mid-level engineers in my group use this program to create plan sets, model pipe networks and produce exhibits. I think this is the most widely-used and widely-known software for land development projects. It is very intuitive and easy to pick up. It is mostly command-focused, so if you want to draw a line, type "line". If you want to measure something, type "measure".
- pipe networks
- site plans
- topography
- integrating GIS information from streamstats and the like
- GUI-button and menu use
- heavy roadway modeling
- import/export surfaces and feature lines
- utility networks
- autoturn for vehicles
- positive: saved us time on setting up sheets/sheet set manager
- positive: saved time and effort on cutting profiles
- positive: saved us money on printing, since it is easy to bind the dgns it creates
Nothing compares to the ease of learning for Autodesk Civil 3D. It is very intuitive and easy to pick up. However, most DOTs require the use of MicroStation for roadway and transportation modeling. Autodesk Civil 3D does NOT integrate well with GIS or Bentley products. However, most aviation jobs and land development firms use the software and most students learn to model on a student trial of the software.
