BricsCAD\u00ae Pro offers civil engineers smooth, efficient workflows. With solutions made specifically for civil engineering projects, you can speed up your process while ensuring high-quality, accurate results. Civil engineers can use BricsCAD Pro for each project stage, providing you with a range of tools to make your work easier, end to end. So let’s start at the beginning \u2013 preliminary design!<\/p>\n

BricsCAD Pro for Preliminary Design<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

BricsCAD Pro features specific design tools to streamline your civil workflows. Let’s take corridors, for example; if you’re designing a preliminary corridor in BricsCAD, you don’t need to wade through a library of features to find the one you need. Instead, you can create and model corridor designs using the alignment and corridor template tools for linear objects like roads, cycle paths, and retaining walls.<\/p>\n

Polylines are combined to create a template, and BricsCAD Pro’s templates allow you to quickly and easily apply a template to a 3D alignment and choose the most suitable template, depending on your project’s requirements.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the parameters pane lets you edit a 3D-generated object, and when you update the original template, your 3D object also updates in real time. So, you can input any additional infrastructure you might need in a few minutes \u2013 reducing tedious tasks and saving you time.<\/p>\n

TIN Tools for Site Grading and volume calculations<\/h3>\n

When unreliable plans could mean extra costs down the line or potential safety issues – accuracy is key! If you’re a civil engineer, you are more than familiar with the challenges of generating accurate site grading, but with BricsCAD Pro, you can speed up your process without sacrificing accuracy.<\/p>\n

BricsCAD Pro also intelligently filters point cloud data when creating a TIN surface, resulting in a lightweight TIN that won’t slow your workflow. We have made it simple to optimize the site design process and get the layout of complex topographies just right – saving precious prep time. You can import a TIN surface, create a graded surface, calculate infill, and take off volumes in a few clicks. When you import a TIN surface into a model in BricsCAD Pro, you can apply GIS imagery to create a 3D landscape to work from.<\/p>\n

Editing your model is a cinch with BricsCAD Pro’s civil features. If you need to adjust the surface, use the MODIFYTIN tool. Do you need to calculate volume? Use the TINVOLUME command \u2013 you can also use feature this to calculate any changes between the original and modified surfaces. The properties panel lets you view the TIN volume surface statistics for cut and fill values and other properties like contour lines.<\/p>\n

Site Design and Layout: Civil Site Design in BricsCAD Pro<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

BricsCAD Pro has several tools and options for adding partner apps that civil engineers can benefit from. BricsCAD and Civil Site Design<\/a> is a stellar combination when you’re designing the site and its layout.<\/p>\n

Using BricsCAD Pro with Civil Site Design, you can automate site layout and design processes with intelligent objects to handle common road subdivision design elements like intersections, curb returns, cul-de-sacs, roundabouts, and knuckles – as well as tools for driveway clearance!<\/p>\n

This integration is customized specifically for civil engineers, giving you the tools you need to deliver plans quickly.<\/p>\n
