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 types of projects. Exploring Grading Strings and surface based design, including staple tools such as Insert Sections, Surface Extend, Design Constraints and Model Builder. Stick around towards the end where you can see how to use the Driveway Checker to review the proposed crossing.

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.
We have put together a list of resources you may need to assist you and your team with installation and any questions you may have.
