Autodesk Civil 3D is the Autodesk program for infrastructure design: it is for designing roads, land subdivisions and site works on the real ground rather than on a flat plan, inside the AutoCAD environment. The license is in the Education version and is linked to an Autodesk account, with no codes to enter.

Why choose Autodesk Civil 3D

In the design of a road or a development the terrain is not a background: it is the starting datum. Every alignment choice moves cubic metres of earth, and those cubic metres are the main cost of the works. Drawing in 2D means recalculating the volumes by hand at every variant.

Civil 3D works on the terrain model: you define the alignment, apply the typical section and the program calculates cut and fill. Change the alignment and profiles, sections, volumes and sheets update together.

What Autodesk Civil 3D is and what it is for

Civil 3D covers building surfaces from survey data, road alignments with longitudinal profiles and cross sections, volume calculation, sewer and pipe networks and the management of geographic coordinates.

Being built on AutoCAD, it keeps the DWG format and the drafting commands: anyone coming from AutoCAD finds the environment they know and adds the intelligent infrastructure objects to it. Sheets update from the model instead of being redrawn.

The drawings of a road project are long and repetitive: plan and profile split into sheets along the alignment, cross sections every twenty or twenty-five metres. Civil 3D generates them in series from the model, splitting the alignment into sheets and laying out the sections in a grid, and when the alignment changes it regenerates them. It is the work that with a plain CAD fills the days before delivery.

Key features

  • Terrain model
    Surfaces built from survey points, contour lines or point clouds, with slope and aspect analysis.
  • Road alignments and profiles
    Plan alignment, longitudinal profile and cross sections linked to each other and to the terrain model.
  • Volume calculation
    Cut and fill calculated by comparing existing ground and design, updated at every variant.
  • Typical sections
    The road section is defined once and applied along the whole alignment, with its variants.
  • Utility networks
    Sewers, water mains and pipes with manholes, gradients and interference checks.
  • Point clouds and surveys
    Import of laser and drone survey data as the basis of the terrain model.
  • Geographic coordinates
    Reference systems and coordinate transformations, to place the design in its real context.
  • Sheets updated from the model
    Plans, profiles and sections derive from the model and update when the design changes.

System requirements

Autodesk Civil 3D is compatible with 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. It requires a dedicated graphics card and several GB of disk space. For detailed requirements see the "Requirements" tab on the product page.

Why are licenses priced so low?

As these are retail licenses previously owned and decommissioned by the former holder in accordance with EU Court ruling C-128/2011, they can be purchased at a more affordable price. These official licenses are fully compliant and guaranteed at the best price on the market.

What do I receive after purchase?

By purchasing this product you will receive the Autodesk account credentials the license is linked to, the official download from the Autodesk website and complete instructions for a correct installation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference from AutoCAD?
AutoCAD draws lines, Civil 3D draws objects that know about one another: a road knows where the ground runs beneath it and how much earth has to be moved. Underneath it is still AutoCAD, with the same commands and the same files.
Are volumes recalculated automatically?
Yes: cut and fill derive from the comparison between ground and design, so changing the alignment updates them along with the sheets.
Can I start from a survey?
Yes: it imports survey points, contour lines and point clouds from laser scanners or drones as the basis of the terrain model.
How is the license delivered?
By email. At the first sign-in it is wise to change the password and check that the recovery address is your own: that account will accompany the license for its whole duration.
How long does the license last?
It depends on the chosen variant: 1-year and 3-year licenses are available, for the years 2024 to 2027.
