Book DescriptionWith engineering projects getting bigger, deadlines getting tighter, and greater demands for precision, you need tools that do more and work smarter. Autodesk Civil 3D 2026 rises to the challenge, delivering powerful new capabilities for high-precision design modeling and streamlined collaboration. In this second edition, Stephen Walz and Tony Sabat, leaders in digital design and innovation in civil infrastructure, walk you through Civil 3D’s cutting-edge features, such as pressure layout improvements, dynamic corridor targeting, and performance enhancements for surface modeling and grading. It’s not just about learning new features; you’ll be able to integrate these new toolsets into real-world workflows, develop standards, and collaborate effectively within distributed teams. From surface development and intelligent utility design to smart document creation, this book explores practical and automated applications of tools and modeling techniques that you’ll use every day. Whether you work independently or are part of a large design team, you’ll walk away knowing how to configure, manage, and deliver projects with Civil 3D 2026 while improving your entire project pipeline.

What you will learn

Create and manage surfaces, alignments, and profiles Import and organize survey data for accurate base maps Design roadways, parcels, and utility networks Streamline design with Model Viewer, Dynamo, and Targeted Data References Eliminate redundancy using intelligent, dynamic Civil 3D objects Optimize 3D modeling to improve design decisions and outcomes Automate sheet creation for profiles and sections Model advanced corridor features such as intersections and rails

Who this book is forThis book is for civil engineers, environmental engineers, civil designers, civil technicians, and professionals working with Civil 3D or InfraWorks who want to maximize Civil 3D’s potential in their everyday design work. To get the most out of this guide, you'll need a basic understanding of civil engineering and surveying workflows, along with foundational knowledge of Autodesk AutoCAD. General familiarity with surveying practices, civil/environmental engineering practices, and AutoCAD drafting is assumed.
