From the Ground Up

AutoCAD Civil 3D Profile Optimisation on the Cloud – Project Silverstar

About time we got a cloud application to use for design purposes.

Not necessarily a magic button for design, but this tool can work out a solution based on a number of parameters for vertical slope, tie ins, volumes etc.

It is a PVI solution, so I would like you to give it a try and give some feedback based on your requirements to make this fit your design needs.

 

Anyway, download it from here

 

Once installed you run it from the toolbox

Choose what alignment and surface profile you want to use

.

 

Add mass haul information if you have any

.

Choose some maximum and minimum values

Choose how intense you want the solution

 

Within a short space of time a result is emailed to you

A PDF of the output

Then use the Profile from file option or LandXML file to import the result

There you have it

 

Put your head in the clouds
