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.
Users can now double click in the entry fields to add a new entry. and we added a Recalculate button at the top of the form to recompute all Design Data Form entries. This is very useful if edits are made to polyline and/or alignment geometry with the form open – currently recalculating required an edit to the form entries to generate the Add/Update button.
Yes, a new Design Variation – Offset by Polyline. If you have used Offset by Alignment / Match Code to Alignment, then you will already be familiar with moving a code offset to match a Civil Site Design or Civil 3D alignment. The additional benefits of this variation are:
- You do not need to create an alignment from your polyline to match an offset
- Additional offset distance values can be applied giving you flexibility to offset from the polyline
- With the Max offset from CL check, you can search within a specified range
- The Offset Method option of nearest or furthest can be applied when the polyline is found multiple times at a single cross section
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 […]
