Anyone using Civil Site Design?

[Neilw_05]

There are 2 software products called Civil Site Design, one by Civil Survey Solutions and one by Zendesk. Is anyone using either of these products? If so I'd like to hear from you.

I have the same question. The corridor design features look impressive. I have a large (for me) corridor project coming up, so I have been looking into getting this software.

I spent some time evaluating the software and demo videos. I concluded it is not a replacement for Civil 3d. However it does offer some big enhancements to corridor modeling. I would definitely consider getting the corridor easy tool if a project comes up with a subdivision road network.

It is more of an add-on for Civil 3d. I am looking into Civil Site design since some of the roads I am designing have superelevations and a roundabout. I am still hoping to hear from someone that uses this product. It's very affordable... a lot of bang for the bucks.

We use Civil Site Design from Civil Survey Solutions - have done for many years.

It runs as an add-on for Civil 3d, Autocad and Bricscad.

We find the tools it include operate much faster than any Civil 3d counterparts.

There are a lot of demonstration videos on their youtube channel here - https://www.youtube.com/@CivilSurveyApplications

If you have any specific questions, please let me know.

I've just downloaded the trial version. Does anyone know of a forum specifically for CSD? I'm going to have plenty of stupid questions to ask, unless others have asked them already.
