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.

See how Civil Site Design efficiently incorporates and displays survey data, specifically cogo points and survey strings, within your design framework. This article explores this through the lens of a rural road project, demonstrating how cogo points and survey strings from the topographical survey are seamlessly integrated and visualised in Civil Site Design's Cross Section Viewer, VGE (Vertical Grading Editor), and 3D viewer (Model Viewer).
Stringer Topo provides multiple ways for customers to interact with and edit the points and survey strings that define your feature surveys. Using the Survey String Manager, you can select any point or survey string to view properties, and edit the selected object by right click or from the contextual ribbon. The Stringer Toolspace operates as a standard CAD palette, for you to create and edit points, point groups, survey strings and surfaces.
Unlock advanced cross-section editing in Civil Site Design with ScriptX, a user-friendly scripting tool for precision and customization. Easily integrate your scripts into the design process, and collaborate effortlessly with a shared library of scripts. This article will explore ScriptX's capabilities and provide download sample scripts.
At times you may need to move your standalone Civil Site Design or Stringer license due to hardware failure, formatting of a workstation (PC) or moving to another PC. Here are the instructions on how to complete this process both if the license is accessible or inaccessible.
