Welcome to the Civil Site Design video library.
Below are videos from our Youtube channel, as well as instructional videos from our Elearning introductory course. The Elearning system also includes step-by-step written instructions for each of the videos below.
You can also visit our international Civil Site Design page for more video resources.
As we create more videos we will add them below.
Use the freely available Blender (www.blender.org) to create high-resolutions images and animations from Civil Site Design models.

See an overview of Stringer Survey, able to operate on multiple CAD Platforms, including Stringer Topo, Stringer ePlan and Stringer ASpec.
A tutorial video explaining what the Data & Common Folders are and how Civil Site Design uses them. Also, Learn how users can set up the Public Library.
The automated intersection tools do not recognise a self-intersecting road. The simple 'trick' is to split the road at a convenient location so the intersections and kerb (curb) returns form. Watch this video to see the process.
See how the Roundabout Design tool can simplify the modelling of roundabouts. Inherit elevation information from the roads and kerb (curb) returns to establish starting elevations for your roundabout, then see the model update as you edit the roundabout island design vertically.
Learn how to back up your project, how to customise it and how to recover.

In this three part series, we show you how to use the Intelligent Sections tool to create conditional templates. In this video we show you how to use intelligent sections to batter to alternative surfaces
In this three part series, we show you how to use the Intelligent Sections tool to create conditional templates. In this video we show you how to add widening to the edge of your template with a batter, when in fill.
In this three part series, we show you how to use the Intelligent Sections tool to create conditional templates. In this video we show you how to add a table drain at the end of a batter when in cut.
Having trouble finding relevant YouTube videos? This video shows how to use the Interactive Ribbon Help which gives access to videos via a replica of the Civil Site Design Ribbons.
There are a number of techniques for transferring string geometry from one String to another. This may be required when you design the lip of kerb with vertical curves, and you want this design transferred to, say, the Top of Kerb for long section documentation purposes. We will go through the Copy...

New in Civil Site Design V17 is the ability to grade from one IP (PVI) to a previous IP (PVI) using the grid editor. The grid editor also lets you change vertical curves, elevations and elevation differences quickly and easily, or one or more IP's at once.
It is common for designers and draftspersons to want each row of cross sections to align on their sheets. The typical default behaviour of the software is to set a certain distance between each cross section plot, per column, measured from the highest section elevation of on section to the bottom o...
Learn what Kerb Return 'Design Flags' do and how they can assist with your Kerb Return vertical designs.
Interface improvements to the Template Editor form in Civil Site Design v17.

Find out how web training can help you learn the Civil Site Design software on your projects
Model Viewer now contains tools to show line marking. In this first version of the command, users can apply line marking from an Alignment by specifying a line marking style, a chainage range, and an offset distance. Line marking can also be generated by using the Sight Distance analysis tools avail...
A new object known as a 'Cut-out' has been added to Model Viewer. These objects are very lightweight and are great for displaying features such as trees. A cut-out is simply a PNG image file with transparency and is added to Model Viewer on a single plane. This plane will rotate as the user rotates ...
Learn how to remove CAD output data and other temporary drafting output, such as setting out points, from the drawing
This video will take you through the process of creating and using a Title block in your plotting outputs.
Understand the fundamental section plotting controls - setting section positions on the sheets, controlling section widths and more.
In Civil Site Design, you can create models using any combination of strings. These built models can be reported on the cross sections, with the added benefit of giving you control over which codes you want to use for offset design information in the bands.
In this video we look at the options for creating a band that describes the Design Codes used for the design string. You can configure the code names, over select chainage ranges, and label the codes on the sections.
Learn how to use the Update Road Objects, Delete Road Objects & Undelete Road Objects commands
In this video we look at the options for merging bands together, using a layer and design code band.
It is easy to show crossfalls on the design sections. In this video we show how to display crossfalls, one section per sheet or on all sections.
