Carlson Civil vs. Civil 3D

Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object. What might take days with other civil software takes just hours, or even minutes, with the powerful, intuitive Carlson Civil: • Road NETwork. Build all roads, intersections and cul-de-sacs in 2D and 3D with a single click of the “PROCESS” button. • Site NETwork. Elevate your estimating accuracy with this intuitive layer-based surface generator for easy cut/fill and material quantities calculations. • Lot NETwork.

Autodesk® Civil 3D® is civil infrastructure design and documentation software that helps civil engineers design, analyze, and document transportation, land development, and water infrastructure projects in a 3D model-based environment. Civil 3D provides integrated tools for working with the data and design elements used throughout civil engineering projects. Engineers and designers can create and manage surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, pipe networks, and other infrastructure design elements while maintaining relationships between objects as designs change.
