                     How is CAD helpful in 
civil engineering?
CAD is computer-aided design software. It allows users to 
create and edit digital 2D and 3D designs faster and more 
readily than you could by hand. The data can also be 
saved and kept in the cloud, making them accessible from 
anywhere at any time. CAD is a software application that is 
used to create drafting solutions. It may be used to 
develop blueprints for bridges, buildings, and computer 
chips, among other things. For drafting, it provides 2D and 
3D application features. 

Here are some of the ways in which CAD software can be 
used:-
1. Drafting tool
2. Architectural tool
3. 3D printing
4. Amazing accuracy and productivity
5. Saves all your time!
6. Planning and managing projects
 
1. Drafting tool
CAD allows you to create precise 2D drawings and then you can either 
convert these 2D designs into 3D designs or keep it as it is. 
2. Architectural tool
CAD has an amazing user interface that allows one to create pre-built 
designs by offering many templates and layout sit also provides an 
analytical tool , especially if you’re designing buildings. 
3. 3D printing
In order to 3D print your project, you need to first choose an object and 
create a virtual model of it using a 2D model or 3D model and then 
CAD helps creating the 3D model in your provided file that are 
compatible with various formats in your Civil Engineering project.
4. Amazing accuracy and productivity
The amount of time one can save using CAD is unbeatable. It not just 
saves time but also increases the production. It is possible to create 
infinite variations of the final product by modifying the same design n 
no. of ways. It is capable of increasing an employee’s productivity by 
almost 3x. 
5. Saves all your time!
Drawing and designing with CAD can give you way quicker results 
than drawing with hand and so you would never have to worry about 
missing another deadline. The software is convenient to use and 
operations like copy, stretching, scaling, rotating, mirroring etc., are 
also available which make your work all the more convenient. 
6. Planning and managing projects
Civil engineers and architects traditionally carried a lot of sheets in 
and out of colleges and work, but with CAD, they can store all their 
designs in one place safely and retrieve as needed. It helps these 
professionals in planning, designing and managing all their projects. 
With CAD software, 3D models of water or land can be created within 
minutes, making it a lot easier to wrap up the final details of a 
project. And the software works with almost no faults so no chance of 
getting your grades down due to silly mistakes. 
Now that you know all about CAD, be sure to save yourself the time 
and efforts and get your hands on this amazing software as soon as 
possible!
