Carlson Survey vs. Civil 3D

Carlson Survey is a Windows software application for the Surveyor’s office to manage the complete job cycle from field data collection to drafting a final plan with several CAD options. With minimum effort and time, Carlson Survey allows users to design and produce a 2D drawing, an enhanced 3D surface model and construction layout data sets, for increasing their efficiency and profitability.

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.
