Viewing height or terrain data on your Civil Site Design & Civil 3D surfaces, is now possible with the new Surface Analysis in Model Viewer.
Found in Toggle Display, users can create quick and simple terrain colouring to view height ranges on surfaces, including design surfaces and models. Using the same technology, Road String slope and crossfall analysis can also be applied to the design.
Found in Model Viewer, the new Catchment Analysis tool has been developed to help users review surface and model data to analyse potential Ponding, Catchment areas and Low Points. With this new technology users are able to quickly assess surfaces and models within the project and determine if surface flows will meet the design requirements.

A new feature of Civil Site Design V26 is the Best Fit Alignment command. This command is available to AutoCAD and BricsCAD users and allows you to create an alignment based on Cogo Point or polyline data. When the command is run, the Best Fit algorithm analyses the Cogo Points in the specified Point […]
One of the exciting new features in the Civil Site Design V26 and Stringer Topo V26 release is the Surface from LAS command. Often LiDAR and point cloud data is saved as a LAS file, which previously required interpreting in another software prior to being imported to create a surface. This new command allows you […]
An exciting new tool in Civil Site Design/Corridor EZ v26 is the Vertical Grading Optimizer 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 […]
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 […]
