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.
Civil Site Design, Stringer Topo & Corridor EZ V24.10 forms will accomodate 4K text scaling.
Bulk earthworks play a key part on many projects and determining the volumes can be a time consuming process. Released in Civil Site Design V23.10, the Subgrade Model Manager (SMM) was developed to assist users with creating subgrade surfaces of any model within the project.
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 Civil Site Design V24.10, the Design Data Form has undergone some ergonomic improvements and seen the addition of a new Design Variation – Offset by Polyline.
