What’s New

Improve Building Information Model (BIM) workflows with new design, documentation, and productivity tools that help you improve and maintain more consistent data, respond faster to design changes, and streamline design tasks. New features in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 civil engineering design software help you to:
• Experience greater flexibility when designing and displaying corridor models with new corridor modeling enhancements. Extract solids from corridor shapes, select linear targets from AutoCAD® xrefs, and utilize new sliced solids display in section views, now available for AutoCAD solids and pressure pipes.
• Increase productivity with new enhanced pressure pipe modeling tools that enable profile-based layout, 3D compass for layout, and more. Improved support for tables, section views, and pay item/QTO and new data shortcut capabilities help boost efficiency. Additionally, new production enhancements allow you to create networks from polylines, survey figures, and alignments.
• Take your civil engineering designs with you with Autodesk® 360 integrated cloud-based capabilities, which let you open, save, comment on, and share files using a smartphone or a tablet.

Access even more powerful new AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 features only when you purchase a license to the Autodesk® Infrastructure Design Suite 2014 Premium or Ultimate editions. Use these industry-specific tools to help:
• Model bridges more accurately and quickly with the Autodesk® Bridge Module. Enhance the design of bridges, bridge decks, piers, abutments, bearings, and barriers.
• Streamline the import, use, and documentation of borehole data with the Autodesk® Geotechnical Module. Import boreholes in AutoCAD Civil 3D, create surfaces from borehole strata, and document borehole strips.
• Save time with the Autodesk® River and Flood Analysis Module. Automate functions such as bridge scour computations, HEC-RAS cross-section cutting, water surface analysis, flood plain mapping, and more. Generate floodplain and floodway maps that are ready for agency submittals.
• Streamline the layout of rail tracks with a new Autodesk® Rail Layout Module that creates new alignments and switch graphics based on the rail turnout catalog.
