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.
With the SMM, generating the base surface of any model is automatic with a full set of tools to manually refine layers and extents, all in a live 3D rendered environment. Surface creation is immediate for volume surface comparisons and/or sharing.
In this webinar we demonstrate how to open any models in the SMM, make changes to the subgrade model and create subgrade surfaces.

In Civil Site Design V24, users can now save templates as packed (zipped) files, making them portable for sharing with teams and projects.
With the new Convert 2D Objects, Civil Site Design can read your 2D objects, such as text or block attributes and convert them into dynamic, elevated Cogo Points. The result? A live surface onto which design can begin.
Creating, Reviewing, Editing and finding contextual commands can all be done using the Toolspace, which offers the majority of functionality all within a single, dockable palette.
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.
