In Civil Site Design V24.10, the Model Builder Edit/Trim by Selection & Group forms received an update which can have a significant impact on selecting sections for trimming models.
Currently, adding new trim locations where sample lines are not present requires the user to manually pick the start location and end location using the Add Extra Section button. This process requires each chainage to be picked separately.
The ‘Add Regions’ button, found on both forms, enables users to pick the start and end chainage positions on screen in a single operation and immediately have those positions added to the Extra Sections list.
In our recent Model Builder 101 webinar, we highlighted the current procedure of selecting start & end chainages manually. This improvement can streamline the picking process and save users time on large models.
An exciting new tool in Civil Site Design v26 is the Vertical Grading Optimiser which can create vertical design profiles based on the parameters you set. Previously, the vertical best fit design profile was based on matching closely to the terrain (within preset cut/fill depths) and adding vertical curves. Mostly, you would remove these and […]
We know parking bays come in all shapes and sizes, and that many of them deserve an independently designed string (with cross sections attached to the string to describe the kerb shape of the parking bay). For those parking/bus or widening bays that can be readily described with cross section edits, we’ve got you covered […]
Non-linear design is when a typical, cross section-based design does not generate the intended result. Typically for designs that are non-parallel, such as driveways, car parks, commercial / Industrial, residential & retaining wall projects. In this webinar, our expert, Jonathan Taylor will show you how to use the Civil Site Design tools to tackle these […]
The Civil Site Design Driveway Checker can be used to assist designers with determining clashes on existing & proposed Civil Site Design project designs. In this webinar, our expert, Jonathan Taylor, will be focusing on using the Driveway Checker to check B85 & B99 vehicles over different crossing points on the project, and exploring the […]
