01About the course
What you will learn in AutoCAD Civil 3D
AutoCAD Civil 3D is Autodesk's software for civil infrastructure design. It builds on AutoCAD but works with intelligent objects such as points, surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, parcels and pipe networks. When you change one part of a design, for example a road's alignment, the linked profile, cross-sections and quantities update automatically. Engineers use it for land survey processing, site grading, road and highway design, drainage and earthwork calculation.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want AutoCAD Civil 3D taught live by a trainer.
You should be comfortable using a computer. Basic knowledge of AutoCAD and civil engineering terms such as levels, contours and chainage will help you move faster.

We provide training and instruction only. Software and licences are not included; use your own licence, or an educational or trial licence where the software maker offers one. See our Software & Licensing Policy. Certificates are skill-training certificates, not degrees or professional licences.
05Projects
Practice projects
Cut-and-fill volume study
Compare an existing surface with a proposed one using a volume surface and prepare an earthwork quantity report.
Road alignment to IRC criteria
Design a horizontal alignment and vertical profile, apply design checks and superelevation, and generate the corridor.
Junction and roundabout
Model a road intersection and a roundabout with approaches and slip lanes, then create the corridor surface.
