AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 
The building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering.
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2010 software, the building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering, helps project teams create, predict, and deliver transportation, land development, and environmental projects more efficiently. AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineers explore more what-if scenarios and optimize project performance with visualization and analysis tools such as geospatial and stormwater analysis, quantity-takeoff, and interactive 3D simulations. The creation of better coordinated and more reliable design information enables delivery of higher-quality documentation and accurate 3D models for automated machine guidance during construction. BIM helps civil engineers minimize errors and omissions, make better decisions, shorten production time, and gain a competitive advantage.
