![]() ![]() All the commands and functionalities in AutoCAD are also found in Civil 3D. It means that AutoCAD users have an added advantage when it comes to using and learning Civil 3D. ![]() When you open Civil 3D, it really looks like AutoCAD. And because civil engineering projects are typically built on actual real-world locations, we opted to build on the functionality of AutoCAD Map 3D.’ Civil 3D – a clever extension to AutoCAD for civil engineers But why was AutoCAD chosen as the foundation for Civil 3D? Dan Simeone – Civil Product Manager at Autodesk – gives us the answer: ‘ We chose AutoCAD as our foundation because the need to deliver 2D submittal documents was absolutely critical and we didn’t see this changing in the near term. The reason why the interface is so similar is that Civil 3D was built upon AutoCAD. ![]() Now if you have seen people working on AutoCAD and Civil 3D, you may think that they are pretty much the same thing. This is, in fact, the key difference between Civil 3D and AutoCAD – Civil 3D has the added benefit of allowing you to efficiently produce BIM Level 2 compliant designs and models. It was probably not a coincidence that this happened while the Government were requiring public infrastructure projects to be BIM Level 2 compliant. It was around 2015 when Civil 3D started becoming popular in the UK for civil design and drafting. And yet it took another five years for businesses and corporations to realise its benefits. It took Autodesk another five years to develop Civil 3D into a really helpful tool for engineers. But the original software was far from perfect. Civil 3D, however, is a much younger product. How long has Civil 3D been around?Īs we mentioned in a previous post, AutoCAD has been in the market since 1982. This article will help you identify the key differentiators, and which one may be best for you. Access will start the next business day after the session ends.Civil engineering and construction professionals often ask the question, what’s the difference between Civil 3D and AutoCAD? They are very similar in some respects but so different in many others. Recording: Registrants for this course will receive access to a recording of each session for 48 consecutive hours. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version. Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2022. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses. This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. In this course, the instructor will lead students through the full process of plan, profile, and section layout and editing of a Pressure Pipe Network from initial layout to completion, using the new 2022 design process. In the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2022 release, there have been major updates to both plan and profile pressure tools, making it a much simpler process to design water, gas, and other pressurized pipe designs. While Pressure Pipes have been around for years, they have a reputation of being difficult to work with and many firms have completely avoided them, opting instead to "fake it" with gravity pipes, or just plain 2D drafting on their plan and profiles.
