Civil 3D Pipeline to 12d

Rodolfo_Domenico — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:04:00 GMT

Hi team

What is the best way to export pipelines designed in Civil3D to 12 D, if any? I am working in a project where the lead consultant uses 12D and my company uses Civil3D. I need to export the pipe networks designed in Civil3D to the main model model developed in 12D.

Thanks for your help. Cheers

Best to have a chat with whoever's receiving the file on the 12D end as there's multiple formats they can use and they may have a prefered.

12D will import Land XML, IFC and DWG files.
