Features

Complete Survey Functionality

Survey commands are cleanly integrated into the Civil 3D toolset and user interface. Users have a consistent environment for all tasks ranging from fieldbook import, least squares adjustment, and editing of survey observations to management of point groups, creation of surfaces and layout of parcels and alignments.

Project Management

Autodesk Civil 3D 2007 adds multi-user project support for core elements in the Civil 3D model so that your project team can work more efficiently and with less risk of coordination errors occurring as modifications occur in the project cycle. The Project support in Civil 3D leverages the core data management capabilities of Autodesk® Vault functionality to provide the entire project team access to the data that they need to complete their work.

Civil 3D provides a unique style system that enables organizations to define CAD and design standards that can be easily used throughout the entire organization. Standards from the color, linetype, and increment of contours, to the labeling that appears in a section or profile band can be defined in a style that will then be used throughout the design and production drafting process.

File Management

The Project support in Civil 3D leverages the core data management capabilities of Autodesk Vault so that the entire project team has access to the data that they need to complete their work. It facilitates the organization of files, distribution of files over a network, version control, check-in and check-out, and rollbacks.

Points

Create points using a variety of coordinate geometry (COGO) and graphical methods. Autodesk Civil 3D 2007 incorporates points as part of the engineering model, making them integral throughout the analysis and design process.

Surfaces

Build surfaces from a variety of 3D source data. Analyze contours, slope, elevation, and watershed areas, and update contours, volumes, and surface analysis instantly when making surface edits. Autodesk Civil 3D 2007 updates surfaces when data is added or edited, and rebuilds the surface when data is removed.

Parcels

Dynamic relationships mean that parcel collections are always up-to-date. Autodesk Civil 3D 2007 integrates parcels within a single topology, so a change to one parcel creates related changes in neighboring parcels.

Alignments

The alignment object includes tangent, curve, and spiral elements and enables the addition of any labeling required in the finished draft. Editing with a tabular editor or graphical interface automatically updates the alignment’s labeling. Share alignment and profile data across drawings for use by multiple project team members.

Profiles

Extract profiles of multiple surfaces based on alignment geometry. Automatically create the profile appearance and annotation based on the styles that you select. Update profile labeling and drafting dynamically.
 

Corridor Modeling

Generate a dynamic model of any road, rail, or corridor project based on design elements, including alignments, profiles, superelevation, and criteria included in design subassemblies. Any change to any elements that were used to create the model result in updated corridor volumes, surfaces, sections, and other analysis and output. Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 enables real-time editing of individual stations or station ranges along the road.

Corridor Assemblies and Subassemblies

Adhere to standards and maintain design consistency using your own library of subassemblies and assemblies.

Sections

Extract and draft surface and corridor sections. Select sections at specific stations, at intervals along alignments, or at specific points, and create section plots for a single station or full section sheets.

Grading

Combine multiple grading elements into one group to find solutions for complex grading problems. Grade into surface, elevation, distance, and adjacent grading objects. Balance cut/fill volumes dynamically for an entire site or a single grading object. Build a static or dynamic surface from grading groups.

Pipe Layout

Lay out sanitary and storm drainage systems as dynamic, interactive networks. Make changes to pipes and structures using graphical as well as numeric input. Plot and complete final drafting of the pipe network in plan, profile, and section views, and share pipe network information, such as material and size, with external analysis applications.

Pipe Drafting

Plot and complete final drafting of the pipe network in plan, profile, or section views. Data from the pipe network is used in labels. Subsequent changes to the pipe network automatically update the drafting.
