Define and Assign…Carlson Civil allows you to define your project folder structure in a way that makes sense to you and your organization, with as little or as much complexity.Surface Modeling
Develop and analyze surfaces, respective contours, and labels in one step. External and sharable files are stored and various analyses are performed to ensure data integrity. The automatic labeling guarantees all contours are appropriately labeled with custom annotation.Annotation
Produce clean, well-documented project plans fast and efficiently with precise tools that use Carlson Civil’s library of annotation features. Carlson Civil allows you to introduce your own annotation style to personalize your drawing and provides the tools to quickly clean up complicated annotation challenges in dense drawings. Text overlaps are automatically checked and the option to correct or choose the correction you prefer.Volumes
Civil Suite’s volume computations use the industry’s most accurate algorithms and based on the source data, thereby eliminating any inaccuracies found in other algorithms. Detailed reports can be produced in multiple formats, plus cut/fill labels, color maps, and centroids in the drawing file can be produced all with easy-to-use tools.
