Civil Site Design V26 introduces support for IFC 4.3 export, giving users a powerful new way to share detailed 3D models with full classification and geometry data. This enhancement allows designers to export corridor models, road elements, and subgrade components as fully structured, BIM-ready files compatible with a wide range of IFC viewers and […]
A new feature of Civil Site Design V26 is the Best Fit Alignment command. This command is available to AutoCAD and BricsCAD users and allows you to create an alignment based on Cogo Point or polyline data. When the command is run, the Best Fit algorithm analyses the Cogo Points in the specified Point […]
One of the exciting new features in the Civil Site Design V26 and Stringer Topo V26 release is the Surface from LAS command. Often LiDAR and point cloud data is saved as a LAS file, which previously required interpreting in another software prior to being imported to create a surface. This new command allows you […]
An exciting new tool in Civil Site Design v26 is the Vertical Grading Optimiser which can create vertical design profiles based on the parameters you set. Previously, the vertical best fit design profile was based on matching closely to the terrain (within preset cut/fill depths) and adding vertical curves. Mostly, you would remove these and […]
We know parking bays come in all shapes and sizes, and that many of them deserve an independently designed string (with cross sections attached to the string to describe the kerb shape of the parking bay). For those parking/bus or widening bays that can be readily described with cross section edits, we’ve got you covered […]
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 […]
The Civil Site Design Driveway Checker can be used to assist designers with determining clashes on existing & proposed Civil Site Design project designs. In this webinar, our expert, Jonathan Taylor, will be focusing on using the Driveway Checker to check B85 & B99 vehicles over different crossing points on the project, and exploring the […]

Due to Autodesk’s adoption of .NET8 architecture in their 2025 release, we have had to change to a new licensing system developed by Soraco (QLM). We are confident that a transition to the new licensing system will not inconvenience customers. A new customer portal is available for customers to manage their V25 licenses. For computer-based single-user licensing, […]
Rachael Murray, one of our application engineers, has put down her top 5 for saving time and frustration in design and drafting. 1. Selection Cycling Got a feature line on top of an alignment on top of a polyline and need to select the bottom object? Break out of the endless send to back cycle […]
