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.
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 […]
