Some of the Civil 3D stuff from AutoDesk like point clouds and GIS mapping was around at a few jobs I was involved in, but it's been a long time and they've come a long way with parametric modelling integrated into the package. Here's a bit of a window into the Civil world, albeit in the form of an advert, but I'm sure DWV has a bit more in insight.
