Carlson Civil provides civil engineers with fast, intuitive design tools for roads, sites, and subdivisions. Its dynamic environment supports 2D, 3D, and flyover views to visualize projects clearly.
With Road NETwork, Site NETwork, and Lot NETwork, Carlson Civil automates complex processes that typically take days, allowing engineers to create roads, intersections, lots, and grading surfaces with a single click. Its intuitive layer-based design improves estimating accuracy and streamlines earthwork calculations.
Carlson Civil integrates smoothly with AutoCAD® or IntelliCAD®, offering flexible platform options and affordable upgrades. From profiles, sections, and 3D surfaces to annotations and labeling, it combines powerful automation, precision, and productivity to deliver high-quality civil engineering designs efficiently.
Powerful Road, Site, and Lot Tools
• Road NETwork: Build roads, intersections, and cul-de-sacs in 2D and 3D.
• Site NETwork: Layer-based surface generation and earthwork calculations.
• Lot NETwork: Automatically define subdivisions using user rules.
3D Visualization & Editing
• Dual CAD/3D Viewer for real-time design adjustments.
• Elevate 2D entities to 3D: contours, polylines, and pads.
• 3D flyover and slope analysis with real-time updates.
Profiles & Sections
• Create, edit, and draw profiles from surfaces or points.
• Quick sections and vertical stacks for complete plan documentation.
• Convert profiles and sections to 3D polylines.
Automation & Productivity
• Template design with transitions, superelevation, and road rehabilitation.
• Vehicle path tracking for wheel paths and design checks.
• Cleanup utilities for lot linework and surface updates.
Points, Areas & Annotation
• Draw and manage points, point groups, and coordinate history.
• Label curves, areas, and plat data with flexible annotation tools.
• Lot sizing, intersections, parking, and cul-de-sac layouts.
Flexible Platform & Integration
• Compatible with AutoCAD® (2007+) and IntelliCAD®.
• Supports LandXML, Civil3D, and other standard data formats.
• Multi-language support and document management with Data Depot.
