The rubble mound revetment is a common structure type in port and waterway engineering. Due to the complex topographic and geologic conditions,the traditional 2D design method has low precision expression of the design scheme,which can be solved by BIM technology,an emerging 3D collaborative design method. Based on the Shenzhen LNG project,we explore the application route and method of Civil 3D in the revetment design,and summarize the application characteristics and technical advantages. Practice indicates that in the BIM application of the revetment engineering,Civil 3D can provide an efficient and complete solution,which can realize three-dimensional precise modeling,batch creation of cross-sectional drawings,accurate statistics of engineering quantities and quick response to the scheme change,thus improve the design accuracy and work efficiency. The research results may serve as reference for the precise design of the rubble mound revetment.
