## Reviews

### "Great software even if its a bit buggy" — 4.0/5

> **Mike** | *8 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its ability to process vast amounts of data and create topography and roads better than any other software
> 
> **Cons**: It is buggy and can often crash without warning
> 
> Civil 3D is a great piece of software that can do things seamlessly that no other software could cope with but unfortunately it has a lot of legacy bugs that cause issues and crashes often

### "Civil 3D for Road Design" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *29 August 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software provides an opportunity to design roads and especially developing 3D BIM models.
> 
> **Cons**: The software cannot handle large-size files.

-----

### "Terrible service for the price you pay" — 1.0/5

> **James** | *26 August 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Haven't got it working yet, terrible online support
> 
> **Cons**: online support is shocking from \[sensitive content hidden\]

### "Civil 3D - still the best single go-to application" — 4.0/5

> **Vaughan** | *18 August 2020* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: From the ability to create surface models, alignments, corridors, dynamically change designs... there are plenty of reasons to love Civil 3D\!
> 
> **Cons**: I really dislike the slow performance on large models and the way in which many of the menus to configure items are "hidden".

It can be a difficult learning curve due to the sheer amount of features.
> 
> Great for solving complex engineering / modelling problems, but room for improved workflow and speed.

To this day, I still don't know of an alternative piece of software that does everything that Civil 3D can do.
There are specialist pieces of software like 12D and OpenRoads but none that offer a all-in-one package that Civil 3D has. So it very much dominates the market.

### "The best Civil Design software ever built\!" — 5.0/5

> **Aditya** | *29 August 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using Civil 3D for more than 7 years now. I use it for Roadway, highway, bridges , buildings and infrastructure design. Its very basic software that allows millions of customizing options for infrastructure design. There is no limit for this software. This software can do anything that user can imagine.
> 
> **Cons**: Civil 3D does not have an option where you xan customize the workspace to specific state standards. For example it can be modified to recognize standards to New York State's Department of transportation requirements to aid the design process. Other software like OpenRoads Designer allows this functionality.
