## Reviews

### "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 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.

-----

### "Industry Standard 3D Modeling for Heavy Sitework" — 5.0/5

> **Hector** | *30 July 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Outstanding 3D surface modeling capabilities for heavy civil earthwork. It handles complex topography data from our Lidar drone surveys beautifully, allowing us to build highly accurate site plans and calculate volumes with precision.
> 
> **Cons**: The software has a remarkably steep learning curve due to its sheer complexity. Additionally, processing massive point clouds can be highly resource-intensive, demanding a powerful workstation to prevent the system from lagging.
> 
> It is an absolutely essential tool for our commercial construction workflows. It perfectly bridges the gap between our field survey data and actionable earthwork models, proving its value despite being complex to master.

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

> **Mike** | *8 January 2025* | Construction Software | 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 - 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.
