AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2010
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software provides a better surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution for civil engineering, including land development, transportation, and environmental projects. By automatically updating documentation as design changes are made, AutoCAD Civil 3D enables civil engineers, designers, drafters, and surveyors to significantly boost productivity and deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation faster. With Civil 3D, the entire project team works from the same consistent, up-to-date model so they stay coordinated throughout all project phases. Integrated tools for developing 3D visualizations help engineers to clearly communicate design intent and create winning presentations.

Boost productivity:- AutoCAD Civil 3D software intelligently connects design and documentation so drafting and annotation are updated automatically as changes are made.
- Purpose-built design and drafting tools automate time-consuming tasks.
Deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation:- Civil 3D software automatically synchronizes design and drafting so you can evaluate more what-if scenarios and get to higher-quality designs faster.
- Hydraulic and hydrologic analysis help you predict project performance before it is built.
- Styles-based drafting and customizable design standards lead to reduced errors and higher-quality, more consistent construction documentation.
Provide better coordination of design changes:- With Civil 3D software, the entire project team works from the same consistent, up-to-date model so they stay synchronized throughout all project phases.
- Integrated change management and version control allow local and remote team members to have parallel, controlled access to the latest model, helping keep projects on schedule and on budget.
Quickly and clearly communicate design intent:- Civil 3D software provides integrated tools for developing 3D visualizations to clearly communicate design intent and create winning presentations.
Simplify software needs with one flexible solution:- Civil 3D software provides the flexibility to handle a broad range of project types, including transportation, land development, and environmental.
- It also offers the depth of functionality to support the technical needs of the entire project team, including civil engineers, designers, drafters, and surveyors.
- Because it is built on AutoCAD® software, experienced AutoCAD users can work in a familiar environment with tools and processes they already know.
AutoCAD® Land Desktop 2010
Quickly and efficiently create parcel and land plans from large data sets using AutoCAD Land Desktop software. Land Desktop provides the powerful productivity and drafting tools demanded by land development professionals, and is based on AutoCAD software, so it’s easy to learn and simple to share plans with colleagues.
- AutoCAD-based Land Desktop enables users to create drawings in the virtually universal DWG™ format, making it easy to share information with civil engineers, surveyors, and GIS professionals everywhere. It’s also ready to use in AutoCAD Civil 3D software.
- Simplify land planning tasks such as coordinate geometry (COGO) and map creation, terrain modeling, alignments, and parcels.
- Centralize large data sets and share among team members, ensuring everyone has most current, consistent, and accurate data.
- AutoCAD Land Desktop builds on AutoCAD 2008, so it provides all the latest drafting and documentation capabilities in addition to specialized land-development tools.
Autodesk® NavisWorks®
The Autodesk® NavisWorks® software solutions comprise four products to help you and your extended teams experience enhanced control, confident collaboration, and information aggregation on even your most complex projects: Autodesk® NavisWorks® Manage, Autodesk® NavisWorks® Simulate, Autodesk® NavisWorks® Review, as well as the free* viewer application Autodesk® NavisWorks® Freedom.
By combining the high-quality information created by model-based design applications like AutoCAD Civil 3D with BIM applications such as Revit®-based software with geometry and data from other design tools, Autodesk NavisWorks products enable a real-time, whole-project view for effective 3D coordination, 4D planning, photorealistic visualization, dynamic simulation, and accurate analysis.
Autodesk NavisWorks Manage
Autodesk NavisWorks Manage software provides all the tools required for smooth-running construction projects. NavisWorks Manage fuses seamless visualization of all types of models, precise replication of designs, accurate simulation of 4D construction schedules, and powerful clash detection into one product, keeping all project stakeholders on the same digital page, whether creating, viewing, or reviewing 3D models.
Consistent, Coordinated, Correct
Integrating the functionality of both Autodesk NavisWorks Review and Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate with powerful clash detection capabilities, Autodesk NavisWorks Manage provides the most complete NavisWorks design review solution for your construction project. Enabling consistent, coordinated, and, most importantly, correct construction documentation, NavisWorks Manage streamlines workflow across your organization and extended teams, helping to reduce waste, increase efficiency, and significantly reduce change orders.
Faster Navigation and Checking
Autodesk NavisWorks Manage delivers seamless, interactive visualizations, enabling real-time walk-through and review of complex 3D models and all the project information they contain. Use NavisWorks Manage to navigate and explore your designs faster, without the need for preprogrammed animation, advanced hardware, or special skills.
Through effective identification, inspection, and reporting of potential interferences in a 3D project model, NavisWorks Manage reduces error-prone manual checking. NavisWorks Manage enables users to check time and space coordination, improving site and workflow planning. Control and peace of mind are enhanced through advanced analysis and coordination of 3D designs. Early fault prediction and error recognition help to prevent eventual, more costly, miscalculations. Combine all your 3D data, no matter what file size and from multiple formats, into a comprehensive, realistic model for viewing and analyzing all digital information.
NavisWorks Manage combines precise fault-finding with hard and clearance clash management. Quickly review and cross-check geometry created by competing 3D design software. Maintain a complete and valuable record of all interferences found throughout your project. Check for time and space coordination and virtually eliminate workflow issues at the planning stage. Point- and line-based clashing enable coordination of a laser-scanned as-built environment with the virtual model.
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate software helps you perform precise replication of designs and accurate modeling of 4D construction schedules, improving productivity and quality by enabling precise previsualization of construction projects.
Virtually experiencing your project in a visual context before physical work begins provides the opportunity to evaluate and verify the materials and textures appropriate to your intended design.

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Subscription Advantage Pack for Lidar Data
New Point Cloud functionality has been released to AutoCAD Map3D 2010 and AutoCAD Civil3D 2010 users as a benefit of Subscription. AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 and AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 can now handle large sets of LiDAR data.
Point Clouds—Import and visualize large sets of point cloud data, such as 3D laser scanning/LiDAR data sets with millions of points, in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 and AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 with the Point Clouds feature. The point cloud feature enables you to:
• Import LiDAR data in LAS format and all point file formats supported by AutoCAD Map/Civil 3D 2010
• Visualize large point clouds in 3D
• Stylize point data based on LAS classifications, RGB, elevation, and intensity
• Filter point data by style
• Snap to points within the point cloud using standard AutoCAD software tools
Some common uses of LiDAR data in AutoCAD Map/Civil 3D 2010 may include using the point cloud data for site surveys, developing an understanding of the site context, and digitizing as-built features (for example, building footprints and curbs) for design projects.
