What is the AEC Collection?

The AEC Collection provides BIM and CAD software, including Revit, Civil 3D, and AutoCAD, supported by a cloud-based common data environment, enabling designers, engineers, and contractors to deliver high-quality building and infrastructure projects efficiently. With the AEC Collection, teams can create in new ways, explore what's possible, and build with confidence.

Create high-quality, high-performing building and infrastructure designs with conceptual and detailed design tools.
Optimize projects with integrated analysis, generative design, and visualization and simulation tools.
Improve predictability in the field with tools that maximize constructability and project coordination.
AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, and 14 more tools are all on one platform for your team.
