Civil 3D, uses surface styles to display your
surface from the minute you add your first
piece of data to it. Have you ever created a surface and

3D produces significantly more accurate Have you ever had to extensively edit a
surface created from contours to “fix” areas
not interpolated correctly?

Civil 3D surfaces and labels are dynamic.
Changes to drawing scale and rotation will Have you ever wished your contour labels

automatically adjust label height and ori-

alignment and profile tasks in Civil 3D is easier and more powerful than in
Land Desktop. The following section provides a brief description of how you
worked with alignments and profiles in Land Desktop.
