Autodesk expands its BIM 360 Design to include Autodesk Civil 3D

Autodesk has announced the expansion of Autodesk BIM 360 Design, Autodesk’s fastest-growing cloud solution, to include Autodesk Civil 3D. With this announcement, Autodesk now offers one of the most comprehensive solutions enabling teams to collaborate on complex projects with horizontal and vertical structures, nearly anytime, anywhere in a single connected cloud platform.
 

Collaboration for Civil 3D, now included with a BIM 360 Design subscription,allows subscribers of BIM 360 Design and Civil 3D to work collaboratively with project partners at anytime and from anywhere, regardless of team locations and disciplines, including architects, engineers, and contractors. With the existing Revit Cloud Worksharing capabilities and the addition of Collaboration for Civil 3D to the same platform, designing airports, rail stations, and other complex projects with vertical and horizontal structures is simpler and more efficient.

Not only can customers collaborate using streamlined workflows on a unified platform, they can also perform their day-to-day data management activities in the same place.

Nicolas Mangon, vice president, Autodesk AEC Business Strategy and Marketing, says, “Complex projects often require similarly complex teams spread across offices,multiple companies, and perhaps across time zones, and include both horizontal and vertical features. Adding Civil 3D to BIM 360 Design responds to the cross-discipline challenges our customers are facing on projects which include building and infrastructure features.Autodesk strives to meet our customers’ changing needs, and this is a major shift in how they will be able to get their work done and hopefully win more business.”

The 2018 launch of BIM 360 Design for Revit brought Autodesk customers a compelling new way to work onRevit building design projects by allowing them to collaborate in real-time and co-author Revit models, and then connect design data downstream to the jobsite because all project information is centralized on the BIM 360 project delivery platform. Customers are already experiencing extraordinary return on investment using BIM 360 Design for Revit.
