Built models form an integral part of operating Civil Site Design as they combine design elements within the project to create a single model & surface.
Cross section based design can limit designers who want to extend outside a single template and have complex geometry. Model Builder provides the solution.
In this webinar we demonstrate the best practice for using Model Builder and unpack all the functionality to operate it successfully, using a road and parking bay design.

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 […]
Civil Site Design V26 is packed with powerful improvements designed to enhance speed, control, and usability across CAD environments. Whether you’re working in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or BricsCAD, this release introduces tools that streamline core tasks and give users more flexibility in how they design, manage, and export data. Faster, Smarter Point Cloud Handling Working […]
