Civil Designer

Civil Designer is a specialist software development company that was started in 1989 with the specific aim of developing quality software for the engineering and design industries. Our software is based on years of experience in the design office and on site, and is continually being refined to suit the needs and requirements of our clients.

New Features in Version 8.4

CAD & RENDERING

  • The drawing office manager now incorporates design elements.
  • The Render View area can be maximised.
  • More accurate (‘true’) transparency in the GDI renderer.
  • The ‘curved’ gradient type (in DWG drawings) is now supported.
  • Introduced a Layout Manager to manage drawings with many layouts
  • Enhancements have been added to working with materials.
  • The Block Snip Rectangle accuracy has been increased.
  • PDF pages can now be previewed before they are imported.
  • The user can select layouts to export to PDF.
  • Implemented the ability to create Wipeout entities.
  • Parallel copy functionality for lightweight polylines has been improved.
  • Tidy polygon functionality has been improved.

SURVEY & TERRAIN

  • Parcels are introduced as Civil Designer objects, denoting a single property/stand/erf.
  • Cut/fill shading display settings page included for the display of shading between two surfaces or between the strings and a surface
  • The Flood Levels function determines the volume of a hypothetical body of water over asurface – This function helps you prepare a flood levels analysis.

ROADS

  • Road texture (and Road Component texture) can now be set from any of the installed textures.
