An introduction to Project Explorer and its user interface

Project Explorer in Autodesk Civil 3D 2025 is a key tool for managing Civil 3D models efficiently, hence why it is heavily utilized by senior designers and those managing design outcomes. At a very high level, it promotes ease of access to perform various tasks such as reviewing, reporting, and editing models all in one place.

Project Explorer truly helps designers understand their designs better and share geometric information with project teams easily. It does this through a simple tabbed interface that organizes modeled objects within our current files. In Project Explorer, we can also filter, adjust, and review content with ease.

Another great feature is its ability to create object reports in different file formats such as Excel, PDFs, and AutoCAD tables. These reports can be customized to fit specific project needs. Any changes made to the design in Civil 3D are seamlessly updated in tables and exported documents...
