Non-linear design is when a typical, cross section-based design does not generate the intended result. Typically for designs that are non-parallel, such as driveways, car parks, commercial / Industrial, residential & retaining wall projects. In this webinar, our expert, Jonathan Taylor will show you how to use the Civil Site Design tools to tackle these types of projects. Exploring Grading Strings and surface based design, including staple tools such as Insert Sections, Surface Extend, Design Constraints and Model Builder. Stick around towards the end where you can see how to use the Driveway Checker to review the proposed crossing.

In the Civil Site Design v26 release for AutoCAD and BricsCAD, a new Clone String command has been added. This command allows users to create a clone of an existing string as a profile string including the alignment and vertical profile. This command turns what was a multi-step process into a one step process. You […]
Civil Site Design v26 delivers a major upgrade to its Custom Variations functionality with the introduction of Standard Kerb Transitions. Since v25, Custom Variations have been a core feature of Civil Site Design, allowing users to apply conditional logic and geometry overrides to cross sections at specified chainages. With v26, this functionality is significantly expanded […]
Civil Site Design V26 introduces the new command Import Cogo Point File (by Alignment). This tool allows you to import a file that specifies chainage and offset along an alignment for points to be created. The command is available for Civil Site Design and Stringer across all base platforms. The command can be found at […]
