Civil 3D Grading Optimization and Project Explorer Tools

Civil 3D's Grading Optimization gives you the ability to create dynamic, multi-layered grading calculations for an entire site at once. It helps automate terrain grading and lets you minimize earthwork costs and achieve the best possible grading solution by leveraging the power of automated iterative design.

Project Explorer runs inside of Civil 3D. Once installed, Project Explorer provides a single application to manage the content of Civil 3D models as well as a reporting tool to present model information. See how you can edit Civil 3D objects, validate design, create reports and tables all within a single user interface.
