[comp.graphics] Software for Site Design

We are interested in teaching a CAD studio  next spring and would like
some recommendations on software available which lets the user modify
contours and land forms interactively through the mouse. Most of the
packages which we have seen ask the user to modify the contour database
files which probably is an unnecessary burden on the students. In
particular the software should be usable with AutoCad and would also
incorporate features like calculations on cut and fill, landscape
elements etc.. Would appreciate any and all pointers
