When accurate existing conditions data is available in Civil 3D, detailed design can begin within the context of the actual project location. The accurate point cloud surface becomes an integral part of the Civil 3D model. You can take accurate surface generated in InfraWorks and use it for detailed design in Civil 3D. The point cloud data can also be viewed and analyzed within the Civil 3D environment. The InfraWorks model can be opened from within the Civil 3D interface.

Once the preliminary work has been completed in InfraWorks, you can bring your work into Civil 3D to complete the detailed design work required. A workflow that uses Civil 3D and Revit together allows a new level of collaboration which improves coordination and helps minimize miscommunication.

You can use Civil 3D in conjuction with InfraWorks and Revit.

You have the ability to import a variety of survey data from Field Book files to ASCII files of a variety of formats. It is used in civil engineering, surveying and land planning. Civil 3D is a civil engineering software for detailed design that supports BIM workflows with integrated design, analysis, and documentation tools.
