Project setup is often one of the most repetitive and time-consuming stages of the design process. Identifying road centrelines, defining project boundaries, detecting kerb returns, and assigning cross sections can require significant manual effort before design work can even begin.
With FastTrack, new in Civil Site Design v27, that process becomes dramatically faster.
Powered by artificial intelligence, FastTrack helps transform conceptual project information into a structured design framework, allowing engineers to move from project setup to design development with greater speed and efficiency.
Introducing FastTrack
Formerly known as Project Assist, FastTrack has evolved into an intelligent project setup tool designed to automate many of the early tasks involved in road and land development projects.

Rather than manually identifying key design elements, users can simply describe their project conceptually and allow FastTrack to analyse the design environment and recommend the most appropriate setup.
The result is a faster, more streamlined workflow that reduces repetitive tasks while maintaining complete control over the final design.
Describe Your Project in Plain Language
FastTrack begins with a simple concept: describe your project as you would to a colleague.

Using AI-powered analysis, FastTrack interprets your project requirements and automatically identifies critical design elements within the drawing.
This removes much of the manual setup traditionally required and helps establish a design-ready model in a fraction of the time.
Automatically Identify Road Centrelines
Road centrelines form the backbone of most civil design projects.

FastTrack can automatically detect and identify road centrelines throughout the project, reducing the need for manual selection and setup.
This not only saves time but also helps establish a consistent foundation for downstream design workflows.
Detect Kerb Returns and Project Boundaries
In addition to identifying road geometry, FastTrack can automatically recognise:
-
Kerb returns
-
Project boundaries
-
Key design extents

By intelligently identifying these elements, FastTrack helps reduce the amount of repetitive drawing interrogation typically required during project setup.
This enables users to focus on reviewing and refining the proposed setup rather than manually building it from scratch.
Intelligent Cross Section Template Assignment
Once the project layout has been analysed, FastTrack can recommend and assign appropriate cross section templates based on the detected design characteristics.
This provides a significant head start when developing corridor models and helps ensure consistency across the project.
Rather than spending time manually matching templates to individual design elements, users can leverage AI-assisted recommendations and then adjust them as required.
Automation Without Losing Control
While FastTrack dramatically reduces setup time, it has been designed to keep engineers firmly in control of the design process.
Before any model is built, users can review the proposed workflow, verify detected features, and make adjustments where necessary.
This balance between automation and engineering oversight ensures that projects benefit from increased efficiency without sacrificing design accuracy or flexibility.
