Civil Site Design 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.
Field attributes provide Surveyors with the ability to include additional data in their Survey pickup of points. With Stringer Topo V26 users can now include additional data (attribute data) with their COGO points and survey strings for review, editing and output from their drawing. There are a number of ways to add attributes to your […]
In the Civil Site Design v26 release for AutoCAD and BricsCAD, a new Clone String command has been added. This command allows users to create a clone of an existing string as a profile string including the alignment and vertical profile. This command turns what was a multi-step process into a one step process. You […]
Civil Site Design v26 delivers a major upgrade to its Custom Variations functionality with the introduction of Standard Kerb Transitions. Since v25, Custom Variations have been a core feature of Civil Site Design, allowing users to apply conditional logic and geometry overrides to cross sections at specified chainages. With v26, this functionality is significantly expanded […]
Civil Site Design V26 introduces the new command Import Cogo Point File (by Alignment). This tool allows you to import a file that specifies chainage and offset along an alignment for points to be created. The command is available for Civil Site Design and Stringer across all base platforms. The command can be found at […]
