"Civil 3D - Great product to speed up Civil Engineering workflow"

5/5

What do you like best about Civil 3D?

Civil 3D is great for creating surfaces, profiles, proposed grading, etc. Definitely speeds up the process as compared to the old way by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

The hardest part is the initial setup to make your finished product look like the way you have been doing it by hand for years. However, once it is setup, it definitely speeds up the process. The other negative is the price as compared to traditional AutoCAD. It is worth it once the staff is all up to speed using the program though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Civil 3D solving and how is that benefiting you?

It really speeds up the process of generating surfaces, profiles and proposed grading. Before we used to have to do the calculations, draft the polylines for the contours, add text for the labels and also manually label the spot shots. Now it generates all of that for you in one step.
