Why Civil 3D is the Building Information Modeling Solution (BIM) for Civil Engineering
1. Geospatial Analysis Integration in Conceptual DesignIntegration of imagery and geospatial data allows for identification of the optimal solution early in the overall process, helping to save time and money. Leverage imagery and terrain models from Google Earth™ mapping services and other sources to visualize the ecosystem of a project. Import geospatial data, such as soil types, land use information, and environmental constraints to quickly analyze and better understand the probable impacts of different alternatives.
