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.

Civil Survey Applications recently hosted the ‘Civil Site Design: Council User Training Day’ in Parramatta, NSW. This complimentary technical training workshop was centred on civil engineering and design for local government users, with a focus on practical application of Civil Site Design features. The agenda was designed to deliver direct value to the attendees through […]
Since releasing Civil Site Design in the USA in 2007, we have experienced constant growth. A technical distributor, Logis LLC, was appointed in 2015, followed by the establishment of Civil Survey Applications LLC in 2019. Located in Florida, the team of 5 including three civil engineers, is committed to customising the software for the US […]
See how Civil Site Design efficiently incorporates and displays survey data, specifically cogo points and survey strings, within your design framework. This article explores this through the lens of a rural road project, demonstrating how cogo points and survey strings from the topographical survey are seamlessly integrated and visualised in Civil Site Design's Cross Section Viewer, VGE (Vertical Grading Editor), and 3D viewer (Model Viewer).
