Subdivision Design

Fast and Effective Road Network Design for Subdivisions

Civil engineers typically receive a subdivision layout as a series of CAD entities defining lots, edge of pavement, back of curb, turning lanes, bus bays and islands.

Traditional civil design tools such as Civil 3D require designers to manually create alignments, assemblies, profiles and intersections ultimately leading to corridor creation. All changes required moving back and forth updating intersections manually as changes are made to profiles.

This process is time consuming for experienced designers and often incomprehensible to interns and junior designers!

Civil Site Design Provides the Automation and Intuitive User Interface to Simplify This Process

Civil Site Design (CSD), a plugin to Civil 3D, and add-on to BricsCAD allows users at all skill levels to generate a complete road network design in minutes. You skip the tedious, mundane tasks and get immediately to actual detailed design.

Working with your existing ground surface and road centerline alignments CSD will:

• Create a road with best fit vertical design by selecting the alignment, the template and the target surface
• Automatically create all roads if you so choose. In plan view, the horizontal geometry is displayed and the individual profiles are ready for editing
• Automatically generate all curb returns tied directly to the associated roads. A complete, dynamic model that automatically updates as profiles are edited – eliminates the need for the curb return editor
• Create parametrically driven Cul-de-sacs with support for circular, asymmetric, tear-drop, Y and T shaped configurations. After setting the values CSD will lay it out horizontally and vertically to match the incoming road and with cross sections automatically matching the road at either end.

What can take hours of effort in Civil 3D is completed with Civil Site Design in minutes.

Take it to the Next Level of Automation with Project Assist – the AI Expert in Civil Site Design

Project Assist takes road network design to the next level of automation. Again working with simple polylines users can name their alignments with design intent. For example, turning lane, bus bay, widening, parking bay, boundary etc.

When activated, it will read all alignments, provide you with a list and suggested design intent. Once confirmed a detail list of each alignment is presented where users can fine tune the intent, assign templates to roads, add cul-de-sacs and define model in islands which creates a new model with the islands draped over the initial road surface.

If you are using Civil 3D, Civil Site Design will create your:

• Civil 3D model surface
• Generate all profiles using your styles
• Create assemblies based on the templates you used
• Create your corridor for you
