Civil 3d Road Design General Workflow

The document outlines the general workflow for road design in Civil 3D, which includes: 1. Creating existing surface conditions and collecting baseline information. 2. Designing the horizontal alignment route. 3. Applying design criteria like speed and superelevation parameters. 4. Generating existing ground profiles and design grades. 5. Constructing cross-sectional assemblies using prebuilt subassemblies. 6. Building the 3D corridor model combining horizontal, vertical and cross-sectional elements. 7. Performing analyses like earthworks calculations and extracting construction information. 8. Optimizing the design through adjustments to corridor components like the profile.

General Workflow

1. Create existing surface conditions. Road design typically begins by creating a surface for
the existing conditions and which forms a baseline for further design and analysis of the new
roadway; existing information about the topography, utilities, parcels and other potential
impacts to the route design is also collected.

2. Design alignment. An alignment defines the main horizontal route that typically represents
the construction baseline of the roadway. Alignments may be created using survey information
collected from the field or from existing 2D-CAD elements such as lines and polylines.
Optionally, they may be created using the wide variety of alignment creation and layout tools.

3. Apply design criteria. Determine the proposed design and the design constraints that are to
be placed on the alignment. This includes speed and superelevation parameters. Design
criteria may be assigned at the onset of the alignment layout or at any time during the design
process. Warning alerts will aid in the swift design of a conforming alignment.

4. Generate existing ground profile and design grades. Display existing ground surface data
for the design alignment and create the finished grades. Finished grade profiles may be
created graphically using profile creation tools, or generated from a best fit analysis of existing
entities or from information from an external file.

5. Construct assemblies. Assemblies define the cross-sectional component of the design and
are built by connecting individual subassembly objects, thereby helping to simulate the
geometry and material makeup of the road as well as helping to define how it interacts with
surrounding features along the route. The subassemblies are selected from the prebuilt
libraries contained in the Civil 3D Tool Palette. Custom subassemblies can also be created
using the Subassembly Composer.

6. Build the corridor. Corridors are the resulting dynamic 3D model representation built from
the combination of horizontal, vertical and cross-sectional design elements.

7. Perform analysis of the resulting model. Corridors may be used to calculate earthworks and
quantity takeoffs, to perform sight and visual analysis, to generate surfaces, and to extract
information for construction purposes. Individual corridor sections may be examined and
edited to help accommodate unique or localized design conditions.
8. Perform design optimization of the already analyzed model. To achieve a better design it
may be necessary to adjust one or more of the corridor components. For example, you can
adjust the design profile to better balance cut and fill volumes. Edits may be done using a
variety of methods, such as grips, via tabular inputs, and with object-specific editing
commands.

Personally (user standard) i use the following workflow when performing road design in
AutoCAD Civil 3D:

1. Import points.

2. Create existing ground surface.

3. Create the proposed alignment.

4. Modify proposed alignment. (Label properties and curves)

5. Create the proposed profile and add data bands.

6. Modify the proposed profile. (Cut and fill volumes and design levels)

7. Create the proposed assembly.

8. Create corridor.

9. Create superelevation views.

10. Modify profile. (Add superelevation data)

11. Create finished ground surfaces from the proposed alignment.

12.Create sample lines group.

13. Compute materials.


14. Create multiple section views.
