Civil Site Design/Corridor EZ 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 collaboration platforms.
IFC 4.3 includes road-specific entities, enabling accurate representation of materials, layer thicknesses, and geometry. Users can automate the assignment of Road Part Types from the design cross section elements, ensuring compliance with IFC BIM requirements.
With the new wildcard option for assigning subgrade layers to codes in the Civil Site Design Template Editor, it is quick and easy to represent complex template conditions like benches or retaining walls in the IFC export.
The result? Smarter data exchange between design teams, asset owners, and contractors—ensuring models remain useful throughout the project lifecycle. With tools like BIM Vision or other IFC viewers, users can inspect the full structure of a model, view component properties, and verify that all key elements are present before construction.
Viewing height or terrain data on your Civil Site Design & Civil 3D surfaces, is now possible with the new Surface Analysis in Model Viewer.
In Civil Site Design V24, users can now save templates as packed (zipped) files, making them portable for sharing with teams and projects.
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.
Creating, Reviewing, Editing and finding contextual commands can all be done using the Toolspace, which offers the majority of functionality all within a single, dockable palette.
