Civil Site Design v26 delivers a major upgrade to its Custom Variations functionality with the introduction of Standard Kerb Transitions.
Since v25, Custom Variations have been a core feature of Civil Site Design, allowing users to apply conditional logic and geometry overrides to cross sections at specified chainages. With v26, this functionality is significantly expanded through the inclusion of pre-configured kerb transition scripts. The Standard Kerb Transitions are installed with the software (not available via downloads) and provide ready-to-use profiles tailored to specific States and Territories, such as Queensland, New South Wales, and others.
Each transition script contains a group of kerb types that can be applied directly within the Custom Variation. Users simply double-click on a variation, select Custom Variation, and navigate to the Standard Kerb Transitions folder. From there, designers can assign start and end chainages, define in/out transition lengths, and maintain control over key feature codes like edge of bitumen, lip, or invert.
What sets this apart is the precision with which users can control geometric behaviour. Variations can hold offsets, maintain slopes, or apply fixed slopes to adjacent codes—ideal for complex urban design environments. This ensures seamless integration of kerb changes while preserving surface integrity and modelling accuracy.
In the Civil Site Design v26 release for AutoCAD and BricsCAD, a new Clone String command has been added. This command allows users to create a clone of an existing string as a profile string including the alignment and vertical profile. This command turns what was a multi-step process into a one step process. You […]
Civil Site Design V26 introduces the new command Import Cogo Point File (by Alignment). This tool allows you to import a file that specifies chainage and offset along an alignment for points to be created. The command is available for Civil Site Design and Stringer across all base platforms. The command can be found at […]
Civil Site Design V26 is packed with powerful improvements designed to enhance speed, control, and usability across CAD environments. Whether you’re working in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or BricsCAD, this release introduces tools that streamline core tasks and give users more flexibility in how they design, manage, and export data. Faster, Smarter Point Cloud Handling Working […]
Civil Site Design V26 introduces support for IFC 4.3 export, giving users a powerful new way to share detailed 3D models with full classification and geometry data. This enhancement allows designers to export corridor models, road elements, and subgrade components as fully structured, BIM-ready files compatible with a wide range of IFC viewers and […]
