CivilCraft — civil and site design

Start with survey points

  1. Open a point file, LandXML or a CivilCraft project — or drop one here. It opens on this computer; nothing is uploaded.
  2. The surface builds from the points. In Points, mark flowlines, tops of bank or ridges as breaklines.
  3. Alignment: click PIs, Enter to finish. Profile: click in the profile view to add PVIs.
  4. Pad: click its corners, Enter, then set its elevation and slopes for daylight lines and cut and fill.

Wheel to zoom, drag to pan. No file at hand?

Import points

File

Export the plan to DWG

The same linework as the DXF export, in the DWG format of that year. Pick an older format when the drawing goes to older CAD software.

Plot the plan to PDF

CivilCraft settings

These settings are only for CivilCraft, and you can change them only here, in the app.

Point rows

Point, northing, easting, elevation, description — or easting before northing. Used for points you copy (the rows a spreadsheet gets), point rows you paste, and the import's guess when a file has no header row.

Numbers for pasted points

Keep free numbers: a pasted point keeps its number when no point has it, and only clashing points are renumbered. Two points never share a number. Leave the start empty to count on from the highest number in use; with a start, new numbers count up from it, skipping any already taken.

Point labels

What a point label shows when Point labels is on under Display. DXF, DWG and PDF exports show the same.

Theme

The theme applies to every CadCraft app and the site.

Screen

Browsers allow full screen only after a click or key press, so it starts on your first click in the drawing.

Toolbar

Arrange: drag tools within their group, and drag a group by its name.

Panels

You can also drag a panel's inner edge. Double-click the edge to put it back.
