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
Civil Survey Applications recently hosted the ‘Civil Site Design: Council User Training Day’ in Parramatta, NSW. This complimentary technical training workshop was centred on civil engineering and design for local government users, with a focus on practical application of Civil Site Design features. The agenda was designed to deliver direct value to the attendees through […]
Since releasing Civil Site Design in the USA in 2007, we have experienced constant growth. A technical distributor, Logis LLC, was appointed in 2015, followed by the establishment of Civil Survey Applications LLC in 2019. Located in Florida, the team of 5 including three civil engineers, is committed to customising the software for the US […]
See how Civil Site Design efficiently incorporates and displays survey data, specifically cogo points and survey strings, within your design framework. This article explores this through the lens of a rural road project, demonstrating how cogo points and survey strings from the topographical survey are seamlessly integrated and visualised in Civil Site Design's Cross Section Viewer, VGE (Vertical Grading Editor), and 3D viewer (Model Viewer).
