The Howdy Glossary

Civil 3D is a computer-aided design software for engineering and construction projects. The tool lets civil engineers, drafters, designers, and surveyors analyze transportation, land development, water resources infrastructure projects from concept through to completion. Civil 3D helps with tasks such as creating detailed design models and documentation for building roads, subdivisions or other site developments. The software supports BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflows by integrating project data between different disciplines. Additionally, it provides tools for managing stormwater systems and performing quantity take-offs on large-scale earthworks operations.
