Export Surface & Export Model
Civil Site Design V25 on Civil 3D & AutoCAD 2025 only has some additional functionality to directly export Civil Site Design Surfaces & Models to a variety of different formats – Export Surface & Export Model. These new commands can be found on the ribbon, however, this article explains how to operate using Civil Site Design Toolspace.

Export Model
Also accessed via Civil Site Design Toolspace, users can now use the Export Model command by right-clicking on the Models object collector or an individual model. In the new window users can choose, to quickly generate 2D & 3D CAD linework of models in an external DWG or DXF, with the option to control the layer name of the polylines.
