What do you like best about Civil 3D?

La administración de los datos permite conjugar puntos, superficies, ejes de proyecto, perfiles. De una manera metòdica y fluida. Se integra perfectamente con los datos de obra y de campo que provienen de equipos topogràficos. Obtienes datos para replanteo en campo y comparativas de superficie de una manera ràpida. Implementarlo es fàcil ya que las rutinas de trabajo permiten que el usuario aprenda ràpido el uso. El ambiente de trabajo es Autocad asi que integrarlo con los usuarios de este popular software se da de manera transparente. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

Uno de los puntos débiles es el autosalvado, si no eres cuidadoso tienes que repetir nuevamente el trabajo. El lado flaco de Civil 3d es la exportación al formato IFC, si requieres datos en este formato tendrás que editarlos con otro software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Civil 3D?

What I like most about Civil 3D is its versatility to work with dynamic modeling and at the same time the precision of working with georeferenced points to mark them in the field, guaranteeing the accuracy of the location of the buildings to be built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

One drawback of Civil 3D in my case is its tendency to experience performance issues with large file sizes. This makes it difficult for me to work with complex projects with detailed surfaces, alignments, and point clouds; the software can slow down a bit or even cause my laptop to freeze, especially when I work from computers with low processing power.

What do you like best about Civil 3D?

The great interconnection between platforms that Civil 3D provides can only be compared to how intuitive its tools are to use. With daily use, I can say that the help forum this program has is an infinite library of questions and answers. Using C3D in a multidisciplinary project is an extraordinary experience since with the shortcuts set for the entire project, it greatly helps to integrate everything and implement at the same time.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

The design of pressure and gravity pipelines is an activity that has been improving with the passing of versions (user of 2023). I have read that with 2024, design elements between both can be mixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Civil 3D?

Civil 3D has a graet interface to you can use it in the best way. You can have acces to install and implement the program from Autodesk website without any complication, as well you have acces to customer support from this website.

I use everyday Civil 3D for my work, I can draw plans, design pipe networks systems, create surfaces and corridors, etc. So you can do a lot of design work with almost no limitations, and because of that you have a real good integration for the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

Because of the big range of uses, there are programs which can be more especialized in one area or one topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Civil 3D?

Similar to CAD, I am able to onboard and train myself to using Civil 3D easily. With the many years of forums, I am able to seek support on any issues I have. It already has functions to integrate for Revit which is a plus if your Civil Engineers are not readily available/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

No real downside. Everything is easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
