Intersection Manager | Introduction
Civil Site Design V25.10 (released November 2024) features the Intersection Manager. This is a single, centralised location to manage intersections within a Civil Site Design project.
The Intersection Manager was developed to enable users to have single tool which would assist with managing all intersecting Road Strings in the project. Even if the intersection is not supported with kerb returns, users can configure the intersection to suit relevant design requirements and utlitise the original kerb return tools. Projects containing a large number of intersections will benefit from being able to quickly identify and edit the intersecting roads and kerbs.
Intersection Manager | ‘T’ Intersections
Managing typical ‘T’ Intersections has been improved, with users having new tools to globally change intersections throughout the project. Changing batter/daylight conditions globally or being able to selectively change kerb return templates, once the kerb return has been established without having to change via the Design Data Form.
Intersection Manager | Crossing Intersections
Intersection Manager has replaced the Nominate Side Road form. With the Intersection Manager, you can not only switch between side and main roads and maintain your kerb returns, you can also use overlapping alignments to force a ‘T’ Intersection, instead of defaulting to a Crossing Intersection.
Intersection Manager | Remove Main Road Edge
Remove Main Road Edges removes the ‘intersection through code’, typically the EB or ETW. This can also be referred to as Maintain Road Crowns. There is a global option to remove this code across all intersections on the projects and a further option where the code can be removed or reinstated at nominated intersections. Prior to the release of Civil Site Design V25.10, removal of this code was undertaken with a Design Variation. The video for this can be found here: https://youtu.be/pN8Pe5DVKyI?si=jCZkBpgp6i84kVpq
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 […]
