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.

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.
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.
The DRAINS exchange for Civil Site Design has been established for over 10 years and has provided users with a solution of drafting in the CAD environment, analysing in DRAINS and generating design long sections with the HGL in Civil Site Design. This popular functionality has been a staple for drainage engineers looking to speed up the process of designing and drafting between the applications.
