Welcome to the Civil Site Design video library.
Below are videos from our Youtube channel, as well as instructional videos from our Elearning introductory course. The Elearning system also includes step-by-step written instructions for each of the videos below.
You can also visit our international Civil Site Design page for more video resources.
As we create more videos we will add them below.
In this video we show you how to obtain levels, chainages, offsets, pipe levels and other information from your projects using this tool
In this video we will demonstrate the procedure for renaming Strings and Alignments in Civil Site Design.
Stringer ePlan - turns your drawing objects into fully enumerated survey data describing radiations, points and parcels, and outputs directly to a LandXML file for submission to your state's Land Titles Office. Digital title plan lodgement is being implemented throughout the Australian states and c...
In this video we show you how to output surface display objects and the linework from your models in projects. We also show you how to remove the output information from the drawing with Cleanup. This video is associated with: https://youtu.be/phG7XT94pj8
In this video we show you setting up how Civil Site Design draws the linework in the drawing and controlling the layers it uses.
In v18.21 onwards, users can now set the levels of an IP in the vertical design - grid editor, based on a grade / slope from another location in the drawing.
In this tutorial we show you how to make use of the new pit library, display the new pipe drafting and utilise the network labelling tools.
