AutoCAD Civil 3D is Autodesk's specialized design and documentation software for civil engineering, built around an intelligent, model-based workflow for surveying, surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, and pipe networks. It lets civil engineering teams design, analyze, and document infrastructure projects such as roads, highways, land development, and drainage systems, where every change to the model updates the related plans, profiles, and quantities automatically. Because so much transportation, land development, and water infrastructure is now delivered in Civil 3D, teams that can build and maintain these models keep projects accurate, coordinated, and on schedule.
As organizations take on more complex infrastructure and land development projects, this program helps your teams design, analyze, and document civil works accurately and efficiently in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Built around your goals, the program turns AutoCAD Civil 3D skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your civil engineering, surveying, and design teams.
By the end of the program, your team can process survey data, build and edit surfaces, design alignments and profiles, model corridors and intersections, create grading and pipe networks, and produce plan-ready documentation. The result is faster project delivery, fewer costly design errors, stronger coordination across disciplines, and a civil engineering team confident across the full AutoCAD Civil 3D workflow.

Participants should be comfortable with the basics of AutoCAD and general drafting concepts, and have a working understanding of civil engineering or surveying terminology. Familiarity with reading site plans, contours, and survey data is helpful, but no prior AutoCAD Civil 3D experience is required to get the most from the AutoCAD Civil 3D training course.
