Corridor modeling enhancements

Experience greater flexibility when designing and displaying corridor models.

• Corridor frequency (target and baseline)
• Corridor sampling improvements
• Retain corridor targets when substituting a sub-assembly

Profile layout enhancements

Experience greater efficiency when creating profiles.

• Extend curves and tangents to profile extents
• Create Free curve using Pass Through point
• Change Parameter Constraint (selected curve)
• New “Profile Locking” controls and display notifications for impacted Vertical Alignment entities if Horizontal Alignment changes

Production drafting enhancements

Create production deliverables more efficiently.

• Re-associate various Surface and Alignment labels to different Civil 3D source objects
• Stagger “Corridor Point” section labels

User Interface

Work more efficiently on daily tasks.

• Improved consistency between the AutoCAD Civil 3D and AutoCAD ribbon / command set.
• Improved graphics, enhanced visual feedback and object selection.

Subassembly Composer

Build custom subassemblies more easily. Improvements include support for “Voids” in shapes, Axis of Rotation, and Rail Cant.

Geographic Location (Online Map Data)             

Geographic Location functionality is significantly streamlined and enhanced including a new capability to capture and embed Online Map Data (e.g., aerial map information) for offline viewing and plotting.

Reality Capture

Improved performance and more flexibility when working with point cloud files.

Interoperability and Data Exchange

Help improve collaboration with new and enhanced functionality.

• Enhanced export capabilities for DWG™ and DGN
• Export Civil 3D model elements (corridor models, surfaces, alignments/profiles, and gravity and pressure pipes) and 3D solid AutoCAD modeling objects to Keyhole Markup Language (KML).
• Open and edit AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 drawings in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 and 2013 software.
