It can be frustrating having survey data that has a common Z value on the objects – zero. Manual editing of a survey drawing can be very time-consuming, elevating objects before design can even begin to have a working base surface to design on.
With the new Convert 2D Objects, Civil Site Design can read your 2D objects, such as text or block attributes and convert them into dynamic, elevated Cogo Points. The result? A live surface onto which design can begin.
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).
Stringer Topo provides multiple ways for customers to interact with and edit the points and survey strings that define your feature surveys. Using the Survey String Manager, you can select any point or survey string to view properties, and edit the selected object by right click or from the contextual ribbon. The Stringer Toolspace operates as a standard CAD palette, for you to create and edit points, point groups, survey strings and surfaces.
Unlock advanced cross-section editing in Civil Site Design with ScriptX, a user-friendly scripting tool for precision and customization. Easily integrate your scripts into the design process, and collaborate effortlessly with a shared library of scripts. This article will explore ScriptX's capabilities and provide download sample scripts.
At times you may need to move your standalone Civil Site Design or Stringer license due to hardware failure, formatting of a workstation (PC) or moving to another PC. Here are the instructions on how to complete this process both if the license is accessible or inaccessible.
