Civil 3D®, Autodesk®’s civil engineering software package, enables users to generate and revise three-dimensional representations of infrastructure in real-time. One feature available in Civil 3D is corridor modeling, a fundamental asset for civil engineering projects involving linear designs such as highways, railroads, pipelines, and canals.
At CTC Software™, we expand the flexibility within Civil 3D using our Corridor Productivity Pack™. Our Civil add-ins powered by Civil Information Modeling (CIM) further enhance the user experience by removing tedious tasks that complicate Civil 3D corridor modeling.
CTC Software’s Corridor Productivity Pack
The Corridor Productivity Pack offered by CTC Software is a must-have for civil engineering firms working on plans that require precise corridor modeling. The Civil 3D Subassembly Composer already facilitates the definition of a particular corridor’s cross-sectional elements, but the Corridor Productivity Pack gives you greater control over corridor parameters, so they satisfy the unique demands of complex projects.
The Corridor Productivity Pack provides twelve subassemblies, extending the options available in the standard Civil 3D library. These revisable subassemblies economize customization through automation. You can also select metric or imperial measurement settings. By augmenting specificity and automating repetitive functions, this content pack empowers you to account for any project’s idiosyncrasies while reducing error rates.
CIM Project Suite and CIM Manager Suite
The CIM Suites developed by CTC Software are stocked with add-ins that support corridor modeling flexibility. CIM marries computer learning and cloud-based capabilities to automate tasks, saving you time and money in the process.
The CIM Project Suite™ encompasses a range of CIM-propelled extensions that will elevate your linear infrastructure designs in Civil 3D. This Suite has three notable tools: Auto Grader™, Earthwork Processor™, and Data Wizard™.
Auto Grader
Auto Grader is a feature that expedites accurate corridor modeling. This add-in applies automation to grading linear designs, assuring smooth gradient transitions. The precision afforded by Auto Grader is unparalleled, increasing ROI by decreasing the labor traditionally associated with the grading of corridor infrastructure.
Earthwork Processor
Earthwork Processor calculates the amount of earth to be excavated, compressed, or transported to accommodate a corridor modeled in Civil 3D. It shows you design comparisons and their effects on earthwork volume and produces comprehensive reports based on your modeling progress.
Data Wizard
The CIM Project Suite’s Data Wizard is a data-management extension that aids in regulating, extracting, and sharing a Civil 3D project’s data. With Data Wizard, you can efficiently compile data reports and disseminate them to other parties, so you can receive feedback on your corridor modeling assignment and edit accordingly.
CTC Software’s CIM Manager Suite™ builds on add-ins like Data Wizard to benefit production management objectives in corridor modeling projects. This Suite ensures standardized style, layer, and line type formation and revision by equipping production managers with CIM-rooted automation technology.
CTC Software Add-Ins Stretch Civil 3D Corridor Modeling Potential
Autodesk Civil 3D has transformed how civil engineers model corridors and translate those designs into actual boulevards, railways, and utility lines. But, standing alone, Civil 3D has its own rigidities that create unnecessary tedium for its users.
By employing CTC Software civil add ins, including the Corridor Productivity Pack and CIM Suites, you can break away from the banalities and spend more time being the civil engineering expert you want to be. You can discover the advantages of CTC Software corridor modeling programs by using our ROI calculator.
