Civil Site Design

Civil Site Design

Civil Site Design (formerly called Advanced Road Design) is a road design and earthworks package developed by Peter Bloomfield and Civil Survey Solutions (formerly CADApps), running in AutoCAD's Civil 3D environment.

​

Links exist between Civil Site Design and DRAINS that allow data to be transferred to DRAINS, a run to be made, and the results to be transferred back to Civil Site Design. The transfers are made using .xml files.  These are described in a Civil Survey Solutions video on Youtube at Civil Site Design - Pipes - Exchange with Watercom DRAINS (v18.01).
