Why do you want to learn 3D of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD = best 2d cad software
And
Autocad = worst 3d cad software

If you are an architect then its different matter though.

Ok I duno much about Civil field as I am from Mechanical side. But Autocad is the worst cad package I have seen for 3d. Actually 3D designing is very easy even much easier than 2d but autocad is exception.

As i told you i duno much abt the field but I have heard about two popular cad softwares for arch

1. Autodesk Revit Architecture
2. ArchiCAD

You must have heard about 3DS Max (General purpose 3d graphics and animation software). It is used for demonstration purposes only by architects( means to quickly create 3d concept designs for clients)
