Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Civil 3D

Autodesk Civil 3D is used for the design of roads and civil services, i.e., stormwater, sewer & water reticulation. It is also used to complete earthworks designs. We use it to design new infrastructure or determine the most appropriate and feasible upgrade solutions to existing services. Drawings are completed on Autodesk Civil 3D for the various stages of each project. This includes Preliminary Design, Detail Design, Tender drawings, construction drawings, and ad-built drawings.
  • Ease of functionality
  • Templates make design and drawings easier to complete
  • The ability to design and setup drawings simultaneously, where the drawings will be updated as the design is updated should there be changes
  • I think I need more experience in using Autodesk Civil 3D as it is a huge jump from the previous software that I had been using
  • Some functions could take less steps to complete
  • The input of data for service design is simple
  • Automatic creation of catchments
  • The ease of creating networks
  • The automatic update of results when data is changed
  • It has made design much easier and simplified
  • Drawings are easier to complete
  • Time taken to complete designs and drawings have reduced drastically
  • Multiple people can work on one project at the same time without affecting the entire design/drawing
The products I have used are not on the list. This includes Civil Designer and Model Maker. Autodesk Civil 3D is an all-in-one software. The design and drawings can be completed together on the same software. Results are updated automatically when changes are made without having to re-output data and export it to drawing software, as there are always changes to be made when completing designs. The ease and functionality of the software are much easier and simplified and consist of many, many more functions.

I only have good reviews for Autodesk Civil 3D currently. It is very useful for completing designs, in my case, mostly the design of civil services such as stormwater, sewer, and water. Creating long sections and analyzing the long sections while analyzing the plan at the same time is a huge help. Updating the plan updates the long sections rather than having to recreate long sections etc. Updating input data automatically updates the long section results as well. Drawings are easy to create. Creating templates for different design scenarios is extremely helpful, especially when working on multiple projects of the same nature.
