Civil 3D Tutorial - Lesson 07: Import Events

What is Civil 3D?
Civil 3D® design software empowers civil engineers to realize tomorrow’s infrastructure, today.
Work with a model-based environment for better design decisions and project quality.
Streamline documentation with a design-driven approach to plan production.
Harness the power of BIM (Building Information Modeling) for greater design coordination and project collaboration.
Site and survey workflows
Download, create, analyze, and adjust survey data, as well as transfer field-captured data to the office
Terrain modeling
Create digital models of topography for land-use studies, transportation system planning, and water flow simulations 
Corridor modeling
Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for highways, roads, and rail tracks
Intersection design
Create dynamic models of 3-way (T-shaped) or 4-way intersections, as well as roundabouts
Drainage design and analysis
Manage stormwater and sanitary sewer design. Define pipeline paths, optimized with hydraulics/hydrology analysis
Pressure networks
Lay out horizontal and vertical pressure network designs; model deflected-curve pipe segments and use design and depth checks
Plan production and documentation
Quickly create construction documents from drawings, including plan/profile, plan(s)-only, profile(s)-only, and section sheets
Interoperability
Civil 3D supports import, export, and links with commonly used CAD formats, including IFC, and connects with Esri ArcGIS and Bentley data
Design automation
Use visual programming to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks, including electrification and signaling
Geotechnical modeling
Visualize and analyze subsurface data and easily utilize that data directly in the Civil 3D design model
Materials and quantities
Use materials and sectional or profile information to create reports for volumes, comparing design and existing surfaces and quantity takeoff
Bridge design
Coordinate workflows more efficiently across the various disciplines working on complex bridge design projects
