To coincide with the Autodesk 2024 release, Civil site design v24 has been released featuring a number of new and improved features, here is an overview of what’s in this release.
A Civil Site Design toolspace has been developed from which users can design and edit & manage the roads and modelling content within their projects. The dockable palette will give users the benefit of contextually being able to access the majority of civil site design functionality via the toolspace which would normally be found in multiple ribbon tabs.
Found in the Toolspace, users can now create Civil Site Design surfaces from 2D objects in the drawing. This feature is great for designers in receipt of 2d survey data – where no 3D information is present. Creating CSD cogo points from your 2d data, Civil Site Design immediately builds a surface and enables users to being designing faster.
The template editor has undergone a visual refresh with some additional options to now change the display and manage the sharing of templates. Found under the file pulldown, the template packing provides teams with the ability to exchange selections of templates and store them for specific local authorities or stakeholders.
Model Viewer now includes some terrain analysis features which will shade your civil site Design and Civil 3D surface elevations and highlight road slope and crossfall ranges.
A selection of Catchment analysis tools has also been added where users can now analyse and display ponding, catchments and low points within any surface in civil site design, outputting the analysis back to the drawing.

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 […]
