What’s New!

The interactive design tools allow you to simultaneously access multiple windows of your design. You can open multiple profile views including curb returns and observe changes as a profile is updated. Same with cross-section views. The model viewer tool allows you to see the changes rendered in real time providing an intuitive perspective that helps experienced designers and greatly increases the productivity of new designers.

Simply using polylines and templates, the grading tools are great for modelling anything from basins, retaining walls, drains, and much more. The Vertical Grading Editor or Grid View can be used to manage the vertical design, while the horizontal geometry can be simply grip edited with real time updates in the drawing and model viewer.

The pipe design module allows you to easily layout your design with simple polylines, will assign pipes and structures and will generate your network automatically, The Civil Site Design pipe designer, provides a powerful interface that displays pipes in relationship to the ground surface. Pipes are designed automatically based on minimum slope and design flows. Obstructions from other utilities are displayed and color coded based on minimum clearances. Incoming pipes are also displayed and will control the manhole invert where appropriate.

Civil Site Design will generate your profiles, plan profile sheets and cross-sections for you with a spectrum of label styles that can be modified to meet your drafting standards.

As you build out your designs, you will often have multiple surfaces such as existing ground, mass grading for a site, ponds, lots and building pads. Civil Site Design provides an intuitive interface to create new surfaces by simply pasting the individual surfaces in order. Civil Site Design will create CAD surfaces that allow you to incorporate these into a BIM environment.
