Get Improved 3D Visualization with the Just Released Carlson Civil 2012

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Article source: Carlson Software

MAYSVILLE, Ky., U.S.A. (Sept. 14, 2011)— Carlson Civil 2012, just released, gives users enhanced 3D visualization, with added support for realistic 3D symbols including trees, people, vehicles and utilities, plus the ability to produce customized, more professional reports among its many additional improvements.

Carlson Civil, the comprehensive, yet easy-to-master civil engineering software solution, provides support in its 2012 release for AutoCAD® 2012 and comes with IntelliCAD® 7.0 built-in. This is as well as working on AutoCAD versions 2000 and up.

Carlson Civil 2012 users get enhanced 3D visualization, with realistic 3D symbols including trees, people, vehicles and utilities.

“We’ve made numerous improvements to Carlson Civil 2012 in addition to its new 3D aspects,” explains David Carlson, V.P. of Development for Carlson Software. “The new linkage of profile edits back to the sewer network model allows for design revisions from profile view, which was a top request from our users.

“For road work,” he notes, “we added the ability to break out cross section quantities by staging and also the reporting of unsuitable material for end areas.”

These improvements, combined with Carlson Civil’s new and improved Report Formatter, make for more customized and more impressive reports.

Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today. Offering a wide selection of “power” tools, the CAD-based software enables users to increase their productivity as they create better road, site, and subdivision designs in less time.

Along with Carlson Civil for 2012, Carlson Software is also releasing the 2012 versions of Carlson Survey, Carlson Hydrology, Carlson GIS, Carlson Point Cloud, Carlson Mining, Carlson Takeoff, and Carlson Natural Regrade, each featuring its own industry-specific improvements.

Autodesk Labs: Civil model – integrated BIM workflow

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

The Corridor Solids Technology Preview for AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2012 software provides functionality to create AutoCAD® solids from AutoCAD Civil 3D Subassembly shapes that are contained in an AutoCAD Civil 3D Corridor Model. By creating solids from subassembly shapes, representative real-world objects such as tunnels, retaining walls, and pavement layers can be more easily used for visual analysis, design verification, and construction coordination through enhanced model sharing between various project team members who are using applications such as Autodesk® Navisworks® 2012 products, Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2012, Autodesk® 3ds® Max Design 2012, and the new Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler 2012 software.
