Additional Book Details

Designed for readers with no prior Autodesk Civil 3D experience
Covers the core tasks and common workflows of Autodesk Civil 3D
The first part of the book will teach you the essentials, while the second part goes in-depth
Learn to create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, perform takeoff and volume calculations, lay out pipe networks and much more

Autodesk Civil 3D 2026 Fundamentals is designed for students, Civil Engineers and Surveyors who want to take advantage of Autodesk Civil 3D's interactive, dynamic design functionality. Autodesk Civil 3D permits the rapid development of alternatives through its model-based design tools.

In the first part of the book, you will learn essential techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, perform grading and volume calculations tasks, and lay out pipe networks.

In the second part of the book, you will go beyond the basics and look at configuring the software, Civil 3D's styles and settings, alternative ways to create surfaces, and creating parcels. It also goes beyond the basics for more advanced corridor and pipe network design. Finally, it covers customizing sheet set properties, performing quantity takeoffs, and visualization.
